Amina Announces New Rack Mount Protection for Invisible Loudspeakers (19/5/2009)

Stand D9, CEDIA UK Expo 2009

Amina have enhanced their AIWX Invisible Loudspeaker range to make it easier for AV professionals who wish to use them in large scale installations.

The new APU-R has been introduced, and specifically designed, to meet requests from Integrators for a rack mounted protection system they can use in major whole house projects. The new unit enables installers to protect Amina speakers centrally on a standard 19", 1U High rack platform rather than each speaker requiring an individual protection unit locally.

For many high-end installs Amina's Plaster-In Invisible Loudspeakers are the ideal solution. However, until now there lacked a suitable rack mounted protection unit. This 8 channel system is totally passive and provides the flexibility to run configurations from 4 pairs of loudspeakers all the way up to a 7 speaker install for 7.1 Surround.

Each channel has its own setable jumper to enable it to handle the whole AIWX range i.e. AIWX1- 20 watts, AIWX3 - 40 Watts, AIWX5-80 Watts or mixes of these within the one unit.

As well as being styled to blend in with other elite equipment, APU-R provides a high pass filter to ensure that the Amina speaker is not fed with excessive base frequency. In addition, it also has thermal fusing so that the loudspeakers are not overdriven accidentally. As would be expected for the professional, Neutrik Spekon Plugs, located on the rear panel, are used for input and Output.

The new unit also meets all the required criteria to enjoy Amina's 10 year AIWX loudspeaker warranty and is available.

Amina AIWX Plaster In wall range comes in three different power rating 20 watt, 40 watt and 80 watt and retail from £350 to match the loudness and budgets of people and their listening spaces.

Amina will be running a Home Cinema demonstration at CEDIA 2009 on Stand D9.
