European Custom Installer

Origin Acoustics adds three floor-standing powered subwoofers to the Performance Subwoofer range, all featuring coated paper woofers, high-powered digital amplifiers and lightly textured and brushed finished.

According the company, the subwoofers deliver more volume and lower frequencies from a smaller cabinet complete with a more attractive aesthetic. The collection also benefits from an additional down-firing passive radiator providing extended bass frequencies and volume with no extra power consumption. All models feature a premium grain finish, the result of a hybrid wrap with a tactile finish making them suitable for display.

Lutron embraces bespoke finishes at ISE 2020, as it presents an Antique Brass finish to the Palladiom keypad and thermostat range, a finish the company says is the most highly-sought after in Europe.

The result of a partnership with UK-based electrical wiring accessory designer Focus-SB, the raw brass faceplate kit for Palladiom keypad allows installers to offer bespoke finishes to specifiers and end users. In addition to 20 standard finishes, the company offers a potential of "hundreds" of different custom finishes installers can design to match any aesthetic, coordinating with or complementing other hardware, fixtures or accents in a space.

Just Add Power announces the 3G 708POE transmitter at ISE 2020, a device the company describes as a means for installers to cost-effectively add a stereo analog audio output to 3G Ultra HD over IP systems.

“By extracting audio from sources and outputting it via a 3.5 mm port, the 708POE makes it simple for integrators to incorporate two-channel stereo receivers and amplifiers into their J+P systems,” Just Add Power adds. “Offering an upgrade to our popular 707POE, the new transmitter delivers this additional functionality at a groundbreaking price.”

ISE 2020 has Jetbuilt launch Funnel, a lead tracking platform the company says helps turn leads into opportunities and, in turn, into revenue through an efficient interface with a clear lead-tracking and workflow system.

Essentially, Funnel follows a lead from the moment it enters the top of the funnel and flows through the various stages to become a contracted projected. Emails to and from leads sync into Jetbuilt before archival within the Funnel platform, where sales reps and management can view, monitor and reply to developing conversations. Tasks for appropriate action are assigned and scheduled to ensure valuable leads are not lost or forgotten.

URC announces Custom Device Layouts at ISE 2020-- an addition to the Total Control automation and control system allowing installers to customise the user interface for each device.

Using Accelerator 2.0 software, installers can customise the landing page for each device with a modular button layout, combine features on one page of the UI, add live camera feeds and have favourite channels pop up windows for ease of use. Total Control 2.0 offers premium performance, highly customisable GUIs and robust 3rd party integration.
