Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

Have you ever had a job grind to a halt because you don’t have that one key $5 part? Are you tired of having your materials show up in 10 different boxes from 10 different vendors?  It’s not our favorite experience either.  In fact, that frustration was part of the motivation behind Custom Install Supply, which would later give rise to Cleerline Technology Group.  Cleerline’s founders wanted you to be able to find all the parts you need in one place, and our fiber optic solutions are now carrying that idea forward. 

As you probably know, we have fiber optic cable configurations designed to cover most common applications, from outdoor direct burial environments to indoor data centers. Our fiber cables use SSF™ technology for strength and ease of use.  Plus, our fiber optic connectors are so easy to install that you can terminate them in as little as one minute! We also have hardware solutions, like enclosures.

All of this is great, but what if you just need to couple two terminated cables together to be able to move forward? Try a feedthrough adapter! Or what if you just need to pull a terminated cable safely?  We have a variety of pulling eye kits.

Check out our lesser-known accessories at cleerlinefiber.com.  You can find these in under Tools in our product catalog, plus some items, like Fanout Kits, are also cross-listed under Connectivity.

Top 5 Reasons to Choose Da-Lite’s Tensioned Advantage® and Advantage with SightLine™

Da-Lite’s new cable drop feature, SightLine™, is now available with the tried-and-true Tensioned Advantage® and Advantage electric screens. Here are the top 5 reasons you should select this for your next project.

1. Enhanced Aesthetics

With SightLine, the traditional black drop at the top of the screen is replaced with a thin cable drop system. This gives the impression of a floating screen and delivers results that are simply stunning.

Adding to the aesthetics, the exposed space between the ceiling and screen preserves the architectural interests of the room, the way the architect intended.

2. Easy Ordering

Ordering an electric screen has never been easier. In the past, you had to specify the drop distance on a screen when ordering. Since the cables accommodate a range of drop distances up to 70”, that’s no longer needed. You also don’t have the hassle of custom drawings and approval.

3. Simple Installation

Installing our electric screens has just gotten a whole lot easier. With the SightLine feature, the installer can set the down limit on site to any distance up to 70”. Adjustments can be made in ¼” increments, and you can make as many changes to the height as needed.

4. Future-Proof Projection

The height adjustability of the screens will easily accommodate projector upgrades. This guarantees Tensioned Advantage and Advantage with SightLine are solutions you can use for years.

5. Versatile Use

Tensioned Advantage and Advantage with SightLine are great for boardrooms, conference rooms, lecture halls, multi-purpose spaces, home theatres and more.

High Performance Audio with Versatility and Style for the Outdoors

 

The Monitor Audio Vecta Series features two stylish, compact and versatile models with weather resistant properties. Cleverly combining architectural aesthetics with innovation and the high quality professional audio performance that Monitor Audio is renowned for, installers now have a solution with over 8 different installation configurations that can be used both inside and out.

 

The Vecta Series offers incredible flexibility and simple installation. Using cleverly designed brackets and a single point automatic connection system, Vecta can be quickly and easily mounted horizontally or vertically. Installers fix the bracket to the wall, and then simply drop the speaker in place and secure with a single screw. Not only does this installation method save integrators' time, but it also simplifies the complexity of installing speakers at height or at difficult angles.

 

The V240-LV adds further versatility in commercial applications with a 70/100V line level, allowing multiple speakers to be installed in a system without worrying about impedance matching or losses where long cable runs are required.

 

For the Vecta V240 and V240-LV, Monitor Audio has mounted dual 4" C-CAM metal cone drivers to the curved baffle to ensure a controlled sound field is delivered. This minimizes ceiling or wall reflections when mounted under eaves or in a corner, while still being wide enough for superior coverage when wall-mounted. The centrally mounted Gold C-CAM tweeter is horn loaded to ensure dispersion at the crossover point matches the mid-range, providing a smooth off axis frequency response.

 

Monitor Audio combines versatility, style and audio performance with its venerable Vecta Series.

RTI Expands Music Streaming Solutions With MS-1 Streamer

 

The MS-1 Music Streamer adds a single stream solution to the RTI Music family

 

RTI has expanded its family of music control solutions with our new MS-1 Music Streamer. The MS-1 provides you with a single-stream solution fully integrated with RTI control systems in residential or commercial settings. It can also add a stream to an existing RTI Music system. Like the award-winning three-stream MS-3, the MS-1 seamlessly delivers high-resolution audio (24bit/192kHz) from the most popular streaming music services or from a local NAS to any room with the touch of a button.

 

The RTI MS-1 Music Streamer can connect to popular streaming services or a client’s personal music collection on a local NAS drive or computer with lossless audio (FLAC and ALAC) supported. Integrated with RTI control and RTI Music, users can access playlists and search favorite songs, artists, and albums on their preferred services, all within the RTI control app. AirPlay enables any user — even a guest — with Apple Music to play from their chosen platform on any Apple device. To build a queue of songs on the fly, the Music Queue feature enables “play now,” “play later,” or “play soon.” Favorites playlists can integrate songs from multiple services and local devices.

 

RTI Music integrates with a variety of streaming services, including Pandora, Spotify, SiriusXM, iHeart, TuneIn, and an AirPlay option that enables Apple Music and Amazon Music. Newly added services include BBC Sounds and Qobuz. It also integrates with commercial music streaming service providers SiriusXM For Business as well as SoundMachine, with which RTI recently partnered. The partnership provides integrators installing the RTI Music streaming audio system with recurring monthly revenue options featuring SoundMachine’s fully licensed, cloud-based music service for businesses. Together as a service, this solution enables RTI dealers to offer and monetize fully licensed music services (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, SOCAN, RE-SOUND and Global Music Rights) in restaurants, bars, hotels, and other commercial applications.

 

The MS-1 will ship in early June to distributors and integrators worldwide. More information about RTI Music and the MS-1 is available at www.rticontrol.com/rti-music.

SDC – LEADERS IN LATCH RETRACTION

 

Since 2012, when SDC launched QuietDuo^TM – the first Motorized ELR Kits to convert mechanical exit devices – we’ve been “quietly” leading in Electric Latch Retraction upgrades for Access Control. This includes retrofit solutions for most brands of exit devices as well as innovative SDC exit devices & mortise locksets with factory installed ELR and automatic door operators with a built-in 1 Amp+ power supply to power them. With advancements in electric motor technology, the use of a motor for electric latch retraction provides lower current draw, quieter operation, and greater durability over time vs. solenoids.

 

NEW PRODUCTS

 

SDC’s motorized ELR products provide the highest performance of electric latch retraction on the market. SDC now provides these same high performing features in our new, American Made S4000, a low-profile, high value Industrial Electrified Exit Device with stainless steel construction for durability. The new SDC S5000 is a heavy-duty, code compliant Storefront Electrified Exit Device with superior aesthetics and smooth operation. The S4000 and S5000 are conveniently compatible with low energy operators including SDC’s AUTO series.

 

WHY SDC’S MOTORIZED LATCH RETRACTION

 

From retrofit ELR field kits, to exit devices and mortise locksets, all SDC ELR products are grade 1, UL listed, and use the same motorized technology to provide both latch retraction and dogging (exit devices). Because of their low current draw, SDC ELR products can be powered with the built-in 1 Amp+ power supply that comes standard in SDC’s AUTO series low energy operators - eliminating the need for a separate power supply!

 

SDC’s LR100 series retrofit ELR kits abolish the need for costly replacements of existing exit devices and deliver cost savings on installation of select exit device brands without removing the device from the door. Pushpad depression on select exit device models is also offered.

WALL-SMART Adapter Locks Microsoft Surface Go 2 Touchscreen Flush Within the Wall Surface

A touchscreen as multifunctional as the Microsoft Surface Go 2 deserves to be placed where it’s easily accessible to authorized people within a commercial facility. A specialty engineered adapter from WALL-SMART does just this, securely mounting the device flush within drywall, preventing theft and tampering. The touchscreen locks firmly into the adapter where it can be used to control the lights, music, temperature and other facets of a commercial environment, display images captured by surveillance cameras, and provide access to relevant information. Should the tablet need to be removed for mobile use or service, holding a specially engineered smart key to the right side of the mount’s door cover electronically unlocks the device. It can be easily inserted and locked into place when finished. The mount comes with a paintable trim panel that beautifully frames the in-wall touchscreen, making it look like a natural part of the surrounding surface. The WALL-SMART In-Wall Adapter for Microsoft Surface Go 2 Touchscreen is engineered and designed to be installed in drywall during construction. The installation is similar to other drywall construction procedures and requires no additional tools.
