Matrix Switchers for Your Next Conference Room Install
ConferX by AVPro Edge has a full solutions line-up including two unique conference room/classroom matrix switchers, the AC-CXMF62-AUHD and AC-CX84-AUHD!

With additional audio inputs and outputs, this product also works with microphone or intercom systems.
TheConferX 8x4 Matrix is an 8 input, 4 output HDMI/HDBaseT matrix switcher featuring Quick Switch technology. Using Quick Switch, a 4K/30 signal will switch in less than 3 seconds, while a 1080p signal will switch in less than 2 seconds. This 4K switch can display any of the eight inputs through both HDBaseT and HDMI output ports. All four of the outputs are completely independent from each other, allowing the user to show four sources simultaneously.
Both switchers work seamlessly with the entire ConferX line-up to give every end-user a simplified experience for sharing ideas inside a classroom, conference room or huddle space.

A suspension system is packed into the electric screen’s single-roller design, featuring three or four cables that are virtually undetectable when lowered and that eliminate the unsightly black border above the projection screen. What’s more: Installers no longer have to measure and specify drop distance when ordering for a fast, hassle-free experience. The cables allow the screen to be adjusted to any drop distance, up to 70” between the ceiling and the top of the screen.

With 6.8” of extension, it allows even the largest TVs to be tilted in four different directions without limitations — not only up and down but also left and right for even the largest of TVs. The extension offers a larger tilt range, eliminating the problem of large TVs installed on traditional tilting mounts from hitting the wall.
Address today’s wireless audio trends with SANUS’ WSS52 Sonos Five or Sonos PLAY:5
mount and Extendable Soundbar TV Mount designed for the Sonos Arc Soundbar. To securely hold the Sonos Five or Sonos PLAY:5 in either vertical or horizontal orientation, the anodized aluminum design of the SANUS WSS52 perfectly complements the modern look of the speaker while placing it at optimal listening height. It’s available in black or white to match the Sonos Five, fashionably delivering optimum performance for ambient listening, stereo pairing, or surround sound.

Designed in partnership with Sonos, the SANUS Soundbar Bracket for Sonos Arc is compatible with and attaches directly to most TV mounts from other brands, including full-motion mounts to move the TV and speaker together, for a seamless look that only takes 15 minutes to set up.
Infrastructure: Storage, Cable Management, Networking, and Power
Cables and devices have never looked so organized! Installers can mount devices and organize their On-Q enclosures with the new Forward Keyhole Post Clips and Small Device Mounting Clamps, designed using Forward Technology™ for a quick and easy install.

Proudly made in the USA, they are engineered out of Wi-Fi transparent material for uninterrupted control of entertainment devices stored inside, such as a Samsung One Connect Box, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, small network switches, and more. They also include generous knockouts for cable management and power and an enclosure cover, trim ring, and drywall clips, ideal for new construction and retrofit installations.
Middle Atlantic Products powers up any AV experience starting at the foundation with its power and rack solutions.

They feature cutting-edge technology for the best sound performance in any installation project and are backed by a 5 year warranty! The multi-channel amplifiers can be used in a wide range of applications in residential and commercial properties with power up to 2000 watts. Audio channels can be grouped or bridged for flexible installations, configurable to 1,2,3,6,8 or 12 channels.
We have selected the world renowned Hypex amplifiers to guarantee reliability and the great sound quality you’d expect from Monitor Audio, reduced into slim 1U and 2U high cases that universally fit into most racks whilst delivering 93% energy efficiency. Auto ranging allows for use in any territory without the need for a separate power supply.
There are two types of amplifiers within the range:
Distribution Amplifiers - Full connectivity with simple wired voltage trigger or signal sense.
Connected 'Connect' Amplifiers - More complex DSP and IP control included, offering wider flexibility and integration. Using the ‘Connect’ IP interface, a web application which can be accessed by any device with a web browser, allows the installer to set features and fine tune audio performance remotely from the amplifier location. The installer can therefore be in the same room as the speakers when performing these tasks.

Yamaha UC is excited to officially announce our partnership with D-Tools! Integrators will now be able to access our updated listings and incorporate Yamaha’s audio solutions into their designs. Built for easy user configuration and experience, our conferencing and collaboration solutions carry Yamaha’s long-standing reputation of impressive engineering and high-quality audio. From personal Bluetooth speakerphones, to sound bars, to Speech Privacy Systems, each one of our audio solutions is designed to maximize productivity by facilitating clear communication.
Currently, the most-requested item at Yamaha UC is a family of products called ADECIA: a complete, customizable audio solution for the office or the classroom. ADECIA includes four Yamaha components: Dante-enabled microphones (RM-CG ceiling, RM-TT tabletop, or RM-W wireless), the RM-CR remote conference processor, the Intelligent L2 Network Switch with PoE, and Dante PoE Powered line array speakers.
Once installed and configured via one PoE network cable, the ADECIA system automatically detects all components and configures them to be optimized for the room environment; adjusting for speaker and microphone location, reverberation characteristics of the room, and echo behavior. Each microphone is packed with Yamaha’s unique audio processing technologies, including: Human Voice Activity Detection, Adaptive Echo Cancellation, Automatic Gain Control, Noise Reduction, and Dereverberation.
ADECIA’s biggest selling points include its easy installation, seamless configuration, and impressive sound pick-up and delivery to the far end. Recently, the ADECIA Ceiling Solution received a glowing review from the Systems & Industrial Engineering department at the University of Arizona; as the Senior Systems Administrator cited fewer troubleshooting calls made to the IT department and higher satisfaction among the teaching staff. Customers also appreciate the ability to mix and match microphones, as seen in the Building Industry Association of San Diego installation, using both the RM-CG Ceiling Microphone and two RM-TT Tabletop Microphones in a 40-foot by 19-foot room.
