Whether in the home, on the stage, in the cinema or in your favorite store or restaurant our sound is uniquely detailed and clear. Our exclusive Tractrix® Horn-loaded technology reproduces sound with controlled dispersion, high-efficiency and very low-distortion for truly engaging sound at any volume level. Klipsch 70 Volt, distributed audio speakers use high quality transformers for minimal saturation and insertion loss for an acoustic signature as close to our 8 ohm speakers as possible. Our unique, transformer less, 70 Volt in-ceiling subwoofer significantly improves low-frequency bandwidth for deep, realistic bass. Our KI line of speakers and subwoofers provide superior performance in both permanent installation and production environments including theaters, auditoriums, music clubs, houses of worship, and A/V production environments.

New Volt speakers are built to
withstand rigors of outdoor use

Our new 70 Volt CP-4T and CP-6T speakers are built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use while, at the same time, providing a highly aesthetic look that blends perfectly into any indoor environment.  Their smaller size and ability to mount closer to a wall or even be tucked into a corner with a V-shaped rear profile makes them virtually disappear from sight.  Tool-free angle adjustment in 15° increments makes positioning a breeze. The unique mounting bracket combined with front wire termination assures a fast, easy, one-screwdriver installation with no visible wires.
With thousands of installations around the world Klipsch has the experience to provide the perfect sonic atmosphere for any setting.

Crimson AV Redesigns Menu Board Display Mount Solutions

Significantly reduces total cost of ownership as well as assembly, installation and alignment time

Fully Modular Multi-Display Menu Board Mount Designs by Crimson AV was unveiled at Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas in February 2014.

The Company utilized the Expo to unveil several new multi-display inline mounting solutions engineered specifically for the digital signage and commercial markets, for menu boards, signage, way finding, and more. Expanding on the Company’s mission to deliver professional-grade AV mounting solutions that are simple to specify, order and install, Crimson will unveil at DSE 2014 a host of new modular mounting solutions that were specifically designed for hospitality, entertainment, education, healthcare facilities, houses of worship, venues of any size, and a wide variety of commercial, pro and residential applications. Crimson AV has a unique value proposition and fills a much-needed niche. The Company not only provides a comprehensive TV and projector mount lineup of off-the-shelf solutions, it also specializes in custom-configured solutions designed to specification and suitable for virtually every type of audio-visual installation.

Newly redesigned fully modular solution

Newly Redesigned CML and CMP Inline Display and Menu Board Mounting System
The CML and CMP ceiling-mounted Menu Board Mount System has been redesigned to significantly reduce the assembly, installation and alignment time of inline multi-display arrays or menu board installations as well as to lower the total cost of ownership. A fully modular solution for mounting multiple displays from the ceiling in either landscape or portrait orientation, this new mount solution features Crimson’s simplified alignment design and post-installation leveling that makes perfecting the visual aesthetic a breeze, further reducing time spent on the job. To simplify the specification and ordering process, CML and CMP prices are based on the number of displays to be mounted, so systems designers need only to know the size and number of displays to be used as well as the orientation; Crimson will kit the complete mount system and ship it to the location requested in cartons that are easily managed by a single installer.

Crimson’s industry-leading 10-year warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee ensures that integrators and systems designers are provided much-needed peace of mind that they have chosen the right mounts for the job, and allows them to focus on the more technical aspects of the installation.

“We work closely with our customers to develop the solutions they need to solve a wide variety of installation challenges,” says Crimson President, Vlad Gleyzer. “Our new mount lineup provides the answer to many of the most cumbersome issues experienced when mounting displays for use in digital signage and other commercial applications. Designed to both simplify and expedite the design, assembly, installation, and alignment process, Crimson AV mounts will more than satisfy the needs of those seeking to source or specify innovative display mount solutions.”

Every product in Crimson’s comprehensive assortment is manufactured to rigorous standards, designed for maximum install efficiency, and sold for a fraction of the price of competitive solutions, making the line making the lineup a “must see” at trade shows and regional events.

Vaddio’s AV Bridge MATRIX PRO Enables AV Room Solution for USB/IP Applications

Complete professional AV solution reduces the complexity of designing systems

Vaddio’s AV Bridge Matrix PRO is a complete professional AV solution designed to reduce the complexity of designing USB systems for meeting and lecture capture rooms that support multiple cameras and microphones. Based on Vaddio’s award-winning AV Bridge technology, the MATRIX PRO adds audio and video mixing functionality directly into the box.

“The challenge with designing USB systems has been the limitation of a PC and its ability to support only one camera and one microphone on a USB System Bus,” explained CEO Rob Sheeley.  “The AV Bridge Matrix PRO gives integrators the ability to add multiple cameras, microphones and other AV devices into PC-based system room design. It then manages the complex process of mixing, switching and controlling those devices into a single USB stream. We believe that this will be an easier and more cost-effective solution for our integrators who are designing lecture capture and UC conferencing systems.”

AV Bridge CONFERENCE – One of the 3 new additions to the AV Bridge family

The MATRIX PRO replaces a rack full of gear by combining a variety of capabilities:  an AV encoder with simultaneous IP and USB 2.0 streaming, a four-input seamless HD video switcher, three Quick-Connect Interfaces for Vaddio cameras, an 8 x 4 cross-point audio matrix mixer/switcher with AEC, four audio ports for Vaddio EasyUSB microphones with built-in AEC, and a web server for configuration programming, control and remote management.

HD Streaming Solution for UC and Videoconferencing Rooms with Vaddio's AV Bridge Conference

Vaddio launches the new AV Bridge Conference which provides integrators the ability to integrate soft codecs, including Skype, Cisco Jabbe and Microsoft Lync, into traditional AV designs.

Based on UVC/UAC USB standards, no special USB drivers need to be installed, and as a result, AV Bridge Conference works seamlessly with any software application running on any operating system that supports USB 2.0 devices.  Whether you want to do a Microsoft Lync video call or need to set up an audio conference, the AV Bridge Conference provides the USB connection to your AV System. What to record or sream a meeting? Use the recording and streaming software of your choice - and AV Bridge Conference will connect the audio and video sources.

"AV Bridge Conference was designed to support far-end audio for conferencing applications," explained Rob Sheeley, president of Vaddio.  "Videoconferencing system designs require separated near-end audio for local speaker amplification from remote sites."


AV Bridge Conference can support selectable balanced or unbalanced audio - and selectable HDMI, RGBHV, SD or HD component video inputs.  Outputs include USB 2.0 with HD UV/UAV device support, or an Ethernet network interface for both IP control and streaming (RTSP and HLS.) Far-end audio is delivered from the AV Bridge Conference through a balanced (XLR) or unbalanced (RCA) audio input.

AV Bridge Conference makes it simple to encode, capture and stream AV content through a variety of PC Applications or Directly to the network.
