ATON

ATON's system technologies are built on years of expertise in Audio and Video Routing, Control Systems and Loudspeaker Design. This combined knowledge has led to a comprehensive new line of Digital Signal Routing Products, Radio Frequency and Infrared Control Systems, and Architectural Speakers that provide affordable and innovative house-wide entertainment for consumers. The DLA multi-room speaker level audio routers with RF & IR remote control options are an industry first. The ATON Storm Series Speakers are designed with waveguide pivoting tweeters and custom components to create a dynamic listening experience. And our end-to-end digital audio router, with in-wall amplified touchpads, is simply ground breaking. ATON's products are changing the way consumers and installers put technology in reach.

ELAN

ELAN Home Systems has designed innovative, award-winning multi-room audio-video and home control systems since 1989. ELAN systems were the first to seamlessly combine music, TV and telephone-based features such as intercom and paging to create a new kind of whole-house entertainment and communications experience. These "systems" allowed people to move room-to-room, controlling and accessing centrally located audio and video equipment with ease, and providing indispensable in-home communications for everyday living.

Sunfire

The name Sunfire is synonymous with subwoofers - and for good reason. Bob Carver's innovative designs in the early 1990s are what created the small box, high power subwoofer category that we know and love. These concepts have become commonplace nowadays, but 10+ years ago it was a much different story. The Sunfire line represents nothing less than an audio renaissance. What has long been recognized as a stand out brand now stands alone - with a range of products that are better in performance, luxury and style than anything that's come before them. In fact, with every new chapter of Sunfire, we take the word 'benchmark' and give it a whole new set of rules..

Xantech

Established in 1969, Xantech designs and manufactures an extensive range of state of the art AV distribution and control systems, and component products, many of which have become the de facto industry standards. Since 1969, over two million of these systems have been installed worldwide.
