Earth Quake Platine Noiree

We Just received our display speakers for our showroom these speakers are amazing extremely powerful!!!
The Tower Speakers are Biampable with SLAPS 10" woofer They are made differently than any other loudspeakers both inside and out. Earthquake has combined superior cabinet materials and one of the most elaborate crossover components I have seen.
The Platine Noirée home-theater speaker package includes two PN-4521 main tower speakers, a PN-4421 center speaker with a top firing woofer!!, and two PN-2421 dipole surround speakers. They have a small stylish foot print compared to other speakers that have the same power output you have to come and have a listen to these speakers!!

Roth MC4


Yes it is a Tube Amp for Apple iPod / iPhone
The MC4 has been designed for use with Apple iPod or any portable audio device it has a 3.5mm socket on the back of the amplifier that allows you to hook up your laptop or any mp3 player even a TV any device which outputs audio to a 3.5mm jack or you can use an adapter if required. a CD player can be hooked up using the pair of RCA sockets on the back. This unit is one of my personal favorites for listening to my Ipod.

RothDock
For iPod/iPhone - Wireless Dock/Receiver
Allows you to Stream your music from room to room wireless while charging your iPod/iPhone. All you have to do is place your iPod/iPhone into the dock and play your music wireless it uses a 2.4GHz transmission to send the audio directly to your hifi system or multi room audio system. this allows you to have your iPod/iPhone near by so you can see the screen and select tracks, etc. it also comes with a remote and if the iPhone rings, the music will fade and you’ll hear the ring through the hifi system. very cool!

Case test



May, 2010
The Pelican Travel Case - "1510LOC Laptop Overnight Case".
This case exceeded all my expectations right out of the box. First, everything that I needed to bring with me fit in the case and was absolutely secure and protected. The case is made to be water tight and extremely tough. The wheels worked well- they are hard rubber so they track very well, and I anticipate them lasting a long time, unlike many of the typical plastic wheels that usually come with travel gear. It looked heavy at first, however I was surprised that it is lighter then my normal laptop case. I was a little concerned about going through security, wondering if I would have to empty the case completely, instead the X-ray went through the case, it literally disappeared on the monitor so the contents were easily identifiable. Security was a breeze! The case has compartments that are zippered so when you open the case nothing falls out, and you can remove the individual modules so you can take your laptop out at the x-ray machine without disturbing everything in your bag. For my trip to AMX Training in Las Vegas this past April, I had to bring my laptop and all my delicate system interface equipment, it was nice to know that it was all going to get there in one piece. I highly recommend this unit to anyone that travels with gear that is delicate or that has many pieces, it is solid, lightweight and well designed. For more info www.pelican.com

What a Month!

April was such a busy month for us at the Audio Loft! Niagara on the Lake is blooming early this year, from fruit trees to tulips, it is exceptional this year. That means a busy showroom, and we have enjoyed showing you some of the exciting products available debuting this year. Clients continue to marvel at the Mirrorvision television, it totally disappears behind a beautifully framed mirror when it's off, and when it's on you enjoy a fantastic picture. Manufacturer's training had us in Las Vegas, NV for a week. The new control systems available that connect your home to your phone, computer and even your car are incredible. Smart homes have come a long way, and with the right product and the right installation it can blend easily into your lifestyle - because let's face it, who wants to have a 'smart home' that adds extra steps and hassle to your life! You have to come in and see for yourself what can be done, a home consultation is available at no charge to you for the month of May so take advantage of that and see what can be done for you!

This just in Pelican products

http://www.pelican.com/


Well I just received some of the first review products from Pelican Case and Lights. I have known Pelican to make some of the most indestructible cases on the market. Now when I was at CES, they showed me their work lights, so they sent me two products to review.


Some specs from there website

First impression




This is a very well constructed case If you want to protect the 30,000 songs on your iPhone, this is the one. I looked at many cases at the show but this is the toughest one there. I have a buddy thats a fireman, I think I will loan it to him and see what he thinks of it.
Actual size

some details form there website
PM6 3330 LED Flashlight Same as the 3320 Flashlight but in an LED version. The PM6 3330 LED Flashlight is made of light weight Xenoy polymer that's corrosion proof, resistant to extreme temperatures, and extremely strong. It uses a 1 watt LED and is powered by 2 CR123 lithium cells (included). A black oxide coated steel clip is built in and the one-handed tail switch activates the 3330 on, for constant light or momentary blink.

First impression


I have used a lot of cheap LED flashlights in the past, and this is not one of them! If you have to count on a flashlight for work or play, and you need it to be small but powerful, the 3330 is it! When I put the batteries in, I noticed right away that the threads are designed not to cross-thread, they line up perfect. Also I can change the batteries with my winter gloves on with no problem. It is brighter than any of my other similar size flashlights, in fact, its actually brighter then my 6 cell mag lite. I will keep you up to date as I think of ways to field test this flashlight.

First Impression
At first glance I like the style, it's small, thin and fits nicely in the palm of your hand. The display is clear and seems easy to read. There is a snap on cover that protects the screen. However, the user interface is going to take some getting used to. With buttons on the right hand side, it is comfortable for right handed individuals, but they are not labelled, and the center button does not seem to have a clear function.

First Impression

This unit has a lot of features. It is easy to use and is equipped with Wi-fi. I have already added my music library to it and have started downloading books and articles. The screen is large, the resolution is clear and I found the fonts easy to read. Navigation is by button and the touch screen with stylus - I like this. When you are reading and you want to change pages, all you need is to press one button, that's it. However if you are surfing the web, I recommend that you use the stylus.
