Like wine, whiskey and Scotch, Just Add Power’s HDMI over IP platform has got better with age. Each generation of our HDMI over IP products adds new features and capabilities, without making the previous generation of hardware redundant. We take pride in having created a HDMI distribution system that can be left in place to run and can be easily expanded years after installation. We don’t force our dealers to tear out an existing system, just because we’ve released a new product and “moved on” from the ones we encouraged you to buy two years ago.
Our dedicated team of engineers pride themselves in creating products that help integrators overcome limitations they experience with fixed format HDMI matrix brands. Need to send HDMI further than 328 ft? No problem. Need a 42 x 105 HDMI matrix that will eventually be a 68 x 120? We can help you.
Our HDMI over IP platform is designed for video matrixing, video walls and video tiling applications in a commercial or residential setting, and can do all three in tandem if needed. For jobs that require any size of 4K matrix (as well as 1080p or earlier device distribution), use our 3G Ultra HD over IP products. For jobs that don’t feature any 4K screens or HDCP 2.2-encrypted sources, choose the earlier generation 2G/2G+ products. Both generations use the same system architecture: 1 x Just Add Power transmitter per HDMI 2.0 or 1.4 source, 1 x Just Add Power receiver per display, a Layer 3 Managed Gb network switch, and Cat 5e / 6 cabling infrastructure. Whoever said IP-based HDMI distribution was complicated, right?

Stealth Acoustics is a division of Dimensional Communications, Inc. a premier systems integration firm based near Seattle, WA USA. For over 37 years the direct experiences derived from countless systems integration projects have framed everything we do at Stealth Acoustics – in short, even though we are a world-class speaker manufacturer, we have systems integration in our blood and know what works and what doesn’t towards a great sounding and reliable system.
As an outgrowth of needing a true-sounding, full-range invisible speaker solution and finding none up to our expectations, we went into our fabrication shops and began a 2-year R&D cycle to develop our first invisible speaker which we debuted in 2003 to accolades from CEDIA show attendees. Since then we have constantly continued to improve our sound quality, form factoring and ease of installation, culminating – at least for now – in our stunning LR series of invisible speakers and subwoofers. This continuous improvement mindset has brought us many past awards from CEDIA Lifestyles (AX3 model), Residential Systems’ RESI award (B1630 subwoofer) and the CE TechHome Mark of Excellence Award (FX8 model). Today we not only offer the best and most reliable invisible speakers, but also amplification and DSP-based processing all to create a “total systems approach” to totally invisible sound. No other invisible speaker manufacturer has our depth of product offerings or in-field project experience towards solving the invisible speaker performance equation.
Since we think and act like systems integrators, we provide the quality of products, service and support we would expect from one of the best audio manufacturers in the world. It is this combination of experience and passion for being the best the drives us forward, while offering you the comfort and consistency of the best invisible speakers and amplifiers available.
