Stealth Acoustics shows off the latest addition to the StingRay outdoor speaker family at ISE 2014-- the StingRay 6, a smaller-sized descendant of the StingRay 8 with 38cm width and 10cm depth.
It carries a 6-inch cone woofer (explaining the name) and a neodymium tweeter for a 2-way speaker handling frequencies ranging from 50Hz to 18kHz. Casing construction is in ASA plastic and fibreglass, with no grills or openings to allow surrounding environment inside.
The enclosure features an environmental protection rating of IP-68, meaning it is both water- and dust-proof. Stealth claims the speaker can operate at temperatures ranging from -18 to 65 degrees C, with a waterproof cable pigtail for further protection.
Also seen at the show is the SA2400 dual-channel amplifier. Rated at 450W RMS per channel, it uses Class A/B output stage and a high-current power supply for long-term reliability.
At ISE, Panasonic showed for the first time in Europe, the prototype of the world’s largest Flat Panel Display, 150-inch advanced high definition (HD) PDP.
Maybe even larger than the world’s largest flat panel display was the promise, the commitment Panasonic showed to plan for a new generation, Neo PDP.
Panasonic had shown for the first time the 103” Full High Definition Plasma at the CES in Las Vegas in January 2006. This product became commercial in October 2006, one year and three months ago. Despite many prototypes from different brands being show-cased, the Panasonic 103” is still the largest flat panel display commercially available on the market.
Panasonic now leads the professional large display market with the 150-inch PDP, which an 8.84 million pixel resolution (4096 x 2160) - more than 4X the 1080p FHD specification (1920 x 1080).
The prototype is as large as nine 50-inch Plasma displays with an effective viewing area of 3.31 m (W) x 1.87 m (H).
The prototype gave Panasonic spokesmen an opportunity to talk to the press about their new next-gen PDP factories and their plans for a new generation. “After all, Plasma is still a young technology,” explained one executive.
“Neo PDP” will be a new generation of Plasma that combines advances in cell structure, process technology, and new drive technology. The impact is that NEO PDP will save power, double the luminance efficiency, allow for larger sizes and thinner models.
Panasonic is passionate and committed to Plasma while others drop out.
Go Panasonic PDP
Roaming around the vast space of ISE 2014 one can spot some very interesting products-- such as the admittedly impressive Concert series speakers from Steinway Lyngdorf.
Steinway is most famous for its pianos, but it also makes very high-end audio products. How high-end? Enough to demand pricetags starting off from $40000 for a more basic (relatively speaking, of course) 5.1 system to up to $200000 for a gigantic Concert loudspeaker.
Introduced at ISE are the LS-R210 and LS-R212 boundary woofers, rear-firing systems promising the simultaneous arrival of first critical reflections and direct sound to listening position within a compact understated design.
Chief Manufacturing will introduce the industry’s first WPA Short Throw Projector Mount at ISE 2008.
“At ISE, our new WPA Short Throw Projector Mount will be integrated with a Sanyo XL50 ultra-short throw projector. These projectors are becoming increasingly popular with integrators needing to work within a diverse number of positions and surfaces and we’re delighted to be able to supply the first mounting solution available in the industry…” says Melinda von Horvath, Director of Sales & Marketing, EMEA at Chief Manufacturing.
The WPA enables users to extend a projector at up to 12.5” (318 mm) from a wall surface (alternatively the projector can be positioned close to the wall using the home position). The mount includes integrated roll adjustments and easy extension. Set-up uses the Quick Projector connect-and-disconnect capability (eliminating tools). Security hardware is included with the WPA.
In meeting installers needs for flexible mounting solutions, Chief offers additional accessories for short throw projectors. The CMS390™ and CMS391™ On-Center Ceiling Plates allow installers to adjust the projector installation up to 24”, which is ideal for the installation of short throw projectors.
Chief’s WPA Short Throw Projector Mount is compatible with all major short throw projectors models on the market and custom interfaces for Sanyo, Hitachi and Toshiba are currently available and shipping. The WPA is also compatible with Chief’s range of RPA and RPM projector mounts.
