AiSPiRE introduces ASTRO line of Dim-to-Warm Technology with Intuitive Dimming

AiSPiRE has introduced ASTRO, a new line of Dim-to-Warm lighting that recreates the incandescent dimming curve with no required programming. By mimicking an incandescent lamp’s dimming appearance, AiSPiRE is able to shift color temperatures and create a visually comfortable and innately familiar emotion while still benefiting from the energy savings and long life of LEDs. ASTRO offers several dim to warm options that are easy to install and easy to use, delivering a range from a 3000K White Light- the color of halogen—to a warm 1800 Kelvin. Traditional LEDs do not change color or warm up when you dim the light down. like incandescent light sources.

At full brightness, Dim-To-Warm luminaires shine at 3000K color temperature and an extraordinary 95-plus color rendition index for a beautiful crisp white light. Dim-to-Warm technology allows you to dim down to a more intimate, calming glow at 1800K candlelight ambience, to provide a warm mood with gentle illumination. Great for Master baths, dining rooms, home theaters and more! All Dim to Warm options use only one channel that include TRIAC, Electronic Low Voltage or 0-10 Volt Universal protocol. Bring intuitive dimming to your space and have more control over your luminaires with Dim to Warm Technology. For more information, please visit www.aispire.com.

Save Patch Panel Space with Micro BNCs

As pro broadcasters incorporate emerging technology into live productions—from augmented and virtual reality to OTT streaming and the migration to IP—their patch panels are becoming congested.

Many high-density patch panels offer fiber, copper and coax ports to facilitate all three types of connections. With more of today’s broadcast technologies calling for fiber, the number of fiber ports in patch panels is increasing. This leaves less room for copper and coax connections—even though they’re still needed to connect and manage the cables that support devices like routers, processors, amplifiers and replay servers.

In situations where patch-panel space is at a premium, Micro BNCs are a great option. They look and function similarly to standard BNC connectors, but they’re designed for applications that require high performance in high-density environments.

Micro BNCs offer a 51% smaller footprint compared to standard BNCs and a 10% smaller footprint compared to DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors.

With Belden’s new Micro BNC addition to our coaxial connector portfolio, we can deliver Micro BNCs and cabling systems quickly so you’re not waiting on products to keep your project moving. Learn more about our new Micro BNCs at www.belden.com/Blogs/Broadcast/save-patch-panel-space-micro-BNCs.

Monitor Audio Climate Series

There Is No Environment Beyond The Reach Of Great Sound

Monitor Audio's Climate Series includes 4 all-weather models that can be wall mounted in any combination while providing a wide and even dispersion of full range sound over large areas. You can rely on Monitor Audio's meticulous engineering to protect the Climate models from weather ingress. Their solid, sealed, high-density polypropylene enclosures are specially treated to resist water, corrosion and the effects of prolonged UV exposure, and their aluminum grilles and rugged brackets are equipped to prevent rust.

Mounted at either end of each Climate speaker cabinet is a heavy-duty bracket designed for 175 degrees of horizontal or vertical rotation in small non-slip increments. Magnetic end-caps protect the bracket terminals top and bottom, and make the process of re-positioning easy. Once installed, a Climate speaker can be directed precisely for the maximum musical effect. For added flexibility a supplied installation wedge advances the angle of rotation by a further 15 degrees to extend the choice of firing angles.

Each model includes a C-CAM driver and a 1" C-CAM Gold Dome Tweeter (the CL60-T2 stereo model includes two tweeters). Sound quality is further optimized for the open environment through the use of an additional sealed ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator) driver to enrich low frequencies with extra punch and penetration.

The Climate Series features paintable textured white or black finishes offering a stylish design to coincide with the range's high performance sound.

"...the Monitor Audio CL80 is the best sounding outdoor speaker I've had the pleasure of listening to..."

RTI Integrates With Orro Intelligent Lighting Control System

We’re excited to announce that the RTI control platform now works with Orro, integrating Orro’s intelligent lighting control into any home automated by RTI. With light, motion, and sound sensing, plus elegantly designed smart switches, Orro’s adaptive lighting automatically adjusts based on homeowner presence and preferences. RTI elevates this lighting performance by enabling control and automation of Orro switches from within the RTI control environment. The integration elevates control system performance by launching control and automation events triggered through Orro presence detection.

Orro turns on or off lighting scenes based on presence detection, and the RTI control system can trigger automations also based on this detection. For example, when someone enters the room, not only will the lights turn on, but the music can automatically be adjusted to a preferred station and the volume brought to the desired level. When no presence is detected, the lighting scene can change, and the music can be turned off.

Standard Orro lighting control is enabled through the RTI system, creating an exceptional experience throughout the home. The homeowner can launch lighting scenes, set dimmer levels, control lighting loads, turn individual lights or lighting groups on and off, and combine Orro Switches into groups. The Orro One and Orro S Intelligent Lighting Switches work together to create a seamless lighting system, setting the perfect mood in any home. Orro also works with popular smart bulbs and switches.

The new driver that enables the RTI-Orro integration is available to authorized RTI dealers at the RTI driver store and directly within the RTI Integration Designer 11 control application programming software.

High Performance Commercial Audio Solutions: Invisible & Environmental!

Stealth's most popular indoor and outdoor distributed audio speakers are available as Constant Voltage Series (CVS) models. Ideal for commercial projects, these speakers don’t sacrifice sound quality and won’t clutter the space with unsightly speaker grills. Stealth’s CVS speakers are compatible with 70-volt amplifier systems and have multiple transformer tap values of from 60 to 5 watts (depending on model).

Stealth’s LineaResponse LRX-83, LR8g, and LR6g Invisible CVS Speakers feature exceptional audio performance and the same built-in protection circuitry as their standard model counterparts. The speakers can be installed in walls and ceilings (similar to installing a wallboard patch), and after standard wall finishing and paint has been applied, they completely disappear into any office or showroom to be heard, but never seen.

For outdoor projects, the CVS StingRay X83, StingRay 8, and smaller StingRay 6 are ideal. Stealth’s StingRay speakers are IP68 rated, meaning they are sealed to withstand the harshest environments, and have a sleek appearance without any grills or ports that would allow dirt, moisture and pests inside.

StingRay speakers are available in white or black finishes suitable for many installations, and their unique design makes them a perfect choice for projects that need to Blending In! or Standing Out! By applying camouflaging imagery, custom artwork, or commercial branding directly to the face of a StingRay speaker it can hide in plain sight or make a bold audio visual statement in ways no other outdoor speaker can. Or, for a more traditional approach, standard exterior grade latex paint may be applied to StingRay speakers at the project site to achieve an exact color match the with the home or installation surroundings. A full line of mounting accessories is available.

Constant Voltage Series speakers are built to suit. Please contact Stealth Acoustics for design assistance, custom orders, and availability. Stealth's high-quality, commercial grade transformers are also available for purchase separately.

Wall-Smart Flush Mounts Hide Wireless Access Points

Customized by WALL-SMART for a variety of best-of-brand access points from leading home networking manufacturers, the award-winning Flush Mount for Access Points takes a device that would ordinarily protrude from the ceiling and recesses it completely within the surface. The mount can be installed in any orientation and its cover can be painted to match the ceiling surface, dramatically minimizing its visual impact.

Because the mount disappears within the home design, integrators, interior designers, builders, and architects now have a better installation alternative than hiding access points in closets where coverage, range, and signal strength can be compromised or keeping access points out in the open where they conflict with the home design and decor.

Thanks to the new line of WALL-SMART mounts, access points can be located where they provide the strongest, fastest, most reliable Wi-Fi 6 signals for optimal connectivity and a better customer experience. Every detail was addressed in the design of the mount. It includes the necessary hardware for installation in both new and existing homes, ensures optimal Wi-Fi performance, promotes proper airflow and heat dissipation, and is easily accessible for service.

Comprising moisture-resistant, chemically treated MDF, WALL-SMART’s design-forward mounts install similar to that of any drywall application. The mounts recess into standard stud bays and ceiling joists for a flush appearance. Installation in new construction follows standard Level 4 drywall procedures. The mounts can be ordered directly from WALL-SMART, further simplifying the deployment process.

Customizable Line Source Array Center Channels For Large Micro-LED Displays

Introducing our new series of dedicated, customizable high-output center channels for Large Micro-LED displays. This product series provides a solution to increase audio clarity and overall performance when the center channel must be installed above or below a hard surface display. We use a proprietary wavefront curvature technic to shift the sonic image to the center of the array. This ensures the horizontal localization remains at the center of the screen for any listener seated off-center/ axis. The proprietary DSP Loudspeaker management implementation required is included using our new generation of DSP amplifiers.

Two-Fold Customization with Sage Cinema or Wisdom Series

The length of the Line Source Array Center Channel is adjustable, not to match the size of the display, but to match the width of the listening area. The performance level can also be adjusted using either the Sage Series Planar Magnetic drivers, which cover 6 Octaves of the spectrum and then transition to woofers, or the Wisdom Series, where all 8 Octaves are reproduced by planar magnetic drivers.

Unique Design Approach

Line source devices are typically used vertically. This is the first horizontal application providing the same power over distance (matching the vertical line source) and allowing the benefits of line source’s clarity (hearing less of the room) to be used in designing solutions around large LED displays.
