Aldous Systems Starts New Year with New Office and Shows Latest Line-Up at ISE 2012 (16/1/2012)

Stand 5U88, ISE 2012

The new year has hit with a bang at Aldous Systems. We started the new year by moving into our shinny new office. The new office is 2 doors down from the warehouse which is where our sales office was before. This new facility gives us a new training room, demo room and sales office and it allows for growth in the warehouse.

Aldous Systems is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jonathan Smith as our Southern Sales Manger. Jonathan was previously responsible for national sales for NaimNet so he has vast experience in sales related to the custom install industry. He is a welcome and valued new member of the team. We continue to try and fill our vacancy for Northern Sales Manager.

SpeakerCraft continues to keep us very busy with an ever increasing demand and an ever increasing product range. We now have the new Roots speakers in stock. This is an impressive range of satellite speakers and sub woofers in black or white and with a beautiful high gloss finish. They have also had some great reviews in the press and just sound fantastic.

SpeakerCraft have also rolled out more variations on the Profile range of speakers. These speakers are flangless and use magnets to hold the grills on. They look wonderful and are available in AIM form and the traditional CRS. You can also even buy square grills to fit your round speakers if you want.

As if that was not enough, SpeakerCraft have also brought out the new Seamless range of speakers. These speaker fit in the wall or ceiling and you can plaster over them for an invisible speaker. They have proper drivers so perform well at low end as well as top end. There is even a sub woofer available.

BitWise Controls have also been keeping us on our toes. Late last year we saw the introduction of the new Xenon templates which are spectacular. The icons are truly beautiful. As we come into the new year we also have the BC1 controller now shipping. This 1U rack mount controller offers 4 x RS-232, 8 x IR, 4 x IO and it accepts IR commands from legacy learning IR remotes. It is a fantastic addition to the BitWise Controls hardware.The other addition is the BC-IRI. This allows the BC4 to trigger macros from IR commands so you can also use the BC4 with legacy IR learning remote controls as well as the new BC1.

HAI have also been releasing new capabilities. They have developed a new Bluetooth Remote Input Module for the HiFi II multi room audio system making it easy to stream music from any Bluetooth enabled device. They have also launched the new HTX 2 and will soon be updating their iPhone app so it can also control your AV equipment as well as your temperature, security, audio, lighting, etc. They have also extended their wireless range of products by adding both Zigbee and Z Wave ability. HAI already introduced Zigbee thermostats and relays last year. They have now added compatibility with a range ofZigbee and Z Wave door locks for access control.

Aldous Systems will be exhibiting at ISE first week of February in Amsterdam at booth 5U88. Please drop by and see us along with HAI, BitWise Controls, Destination Audio, Forté A-BUS and our very own Aldous Home Networks. Of course you can see SpeakerCraft and Gefen on their own stands at ISE.
