Audio Entertainment Consoles - New Luxury Audio Brand AudioXperts

AudioXperts, a New Luxury Audio Brand, Launches its 4TV Audio Entertainment Consoles - 4TV home theater consoles set a new benchmark for performance, simplicity of operation, design and visual integration with today’s newest panel TVs

AudioXperts, the new luxury audio brand, committed to delivering unique audio solutions, introduces the first two models of its 4TV collection, designed to provide users with extraordinary TV/music solutions that truly eliminate the confusion, chaos, and clutter that too often comes with typical component home theater systems.

With their beautiful smoked glass and aluminum enclosures, these ultra-low-profile products provide amazing component-level audio performance, in two unique, easy-to-use models: the Model 5122 5.1 Surround Sound Console (MSRP $3,999.99), a category-defining, 2-piece, true 5.1 channel music and surround sound system with wireless subwoofer, which offers the performance of a high powered 12” subwoofer, and offers several placement options, including standing upright with the included feet, lying flat for versatile, inconspicuous placement, or even placed directly underneath the 5122 main console; the Model 2112 Virtual Surround Sound Console (MSRP $1,999.99), a single-piece, high performance 2.1 channel music and surround sound system with built-in subwoofer that delivers the equivalent bass output of a separate 8” powered subwoofer.

"When it came to developing the 4TV collection, our team of experts set out to produce a product line that would offer a never-before-seen combination of audio performance, technology and aesthetic design," said Eli Harary, president of AudioXperts. “4TVs minimalist, yet ultra-sophisticated form will instantly appeal to those who truly appreciate superior form and function.”

4TV home entertainment consoles are designed to fit directly under the TV, or on top of a furniture cabinet below a wall hung TV set, and feature stunning smoked glass and aluminum enclosures that integrate perfectly with today’s televisions. Unlike sound bars and conventional surround sound systems, which are typically fixed into place, the 4TV console's built-in swivel base improves the user's television viewing experience by allowing them to easily rotate the console and television to the preferred listening and viewing angle.

The units feature backlit top-mounted, touch-sensitive controls and “learn” existing remotes for easy transparent operation. A proximity sensor adds an even greater ease-of-use, automatically detecting when someone is near and instantly lighting up to show the systems status on the control panel.

The home entertainment systems feature patent-pending H.A.R.T. (High Aspect Ratio Transducer) driver technology which utilizes a unique suspension and support system that allows the use of a large voice coil for high power handling in a high aspect ratio design. By incorporating these new drivers the height of the 4TV consoles can be kept to less than 2-1/4".

In addition to providing high quality audio from the listener's TV, cable/satellite box, and gaming consoles, by offering Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, 4TV products are also designed to provide extraordinary music enjoyment by incorporating easy wired or wireless connectivity to all of today's popular music sources with, instant connection for an optional Apple® Airport Express®, or wireless streaming with any Bluetooth® enabled device, and incorporates the new CSR® aptX® codec for crystal clear, full bandwidth performance.

To optimize the listeners experience with any content, 4TV can easily switch between a number of listening modes and EQ settings for both movies and music. In Movie mode listeners can experience all the action with full and realistic surround sound. In Music mode, music can be experienced in true and accurate stereo sound.

For those owners that may experience sensor neural hearing loss, the 4TV’s Enhanced-Dialogue listening mode offers a separate equalization setting that our engineering team developed using data derived from the U.S. Hearing Journal Research.

“Because of its unique industrial design, our 4TV products will naturally catch the attention of anyone with a sense of style, however, what will really capture their attention is the amazing performance of these systems.” said John Fischbach, director of product voicing for AudioXperts.

Brite Buds - Reflective Cord Stereo Earphones - Far End Gear

Far End Gear Introduces the First Line of Reflective Earphones - Far End Gear announces the release of Brite Buds Reflective Cord Earbuds. The first line of earphones specifically designed for visibility in low light.

Far End Gear™, creator of earphones and accessories designed for outdoor enthusiasts, is first to market with a line of reflective cord earphones, developed for those who engage in nighttime activities such as jogging or cycling. Employing the same line-strengthening process used in creating parachute cord, Brite Buds™ Reflective Cord Earbuds weave water-resistant fibers with glass bead retro-reflective threading; resulting in increased cord strength and greater visibility at night. Brite Buds come in both a standard, stereo model and a single sided, stereo-to-mono version mixing both channels of sound from a stereo audio device into a single ear — enabling the wearer to maintain alertness in any environment.

Far End Gear Owner Kevin Goldstein stated, "Making yourself visible while exercising in low light conditions is important. Adding reflective accessories to your gear can help you stand out from the background."

Professional BMX rider Brian Kachinsky tested the Brite Buds single-sided earbud during the product’s development and remarked, "I always ride with only one earbud in. Not only does [this] sound better than listening to half of a stereo set, but the reflective cord is a nice touch. And it’s held up to some serious abuse."

Brite Buds are now available through the company website FarEndGear.com and in limited retail locations, along with other Far End Gear products:

LCD TV Buying Guide - New Toshiba 2012 LCD Ratings and Evaluation

LCD TV Buying Guide Announces New Toshiba 2012 LCD Ratings and Evaluation - Consumer Electronics Advisory Group's LCDTVBuyingGuide publishes new reviews and ratings of Value Oriented Toshiba TVs

LCD TV Buying Guide Editors Jack Burden and Robert Wiley thoroughly review the features and many of the qualities in new 2012 Toshiba LED TV Reviews of models that entered the HDTV market this year. The editors have published features reviews for new series such as the L5200U and L6200U series for 2012. “These TVs will be extremely popular this year due to their relatively good black levels and price to value.” stated editor Robert Wiley. “The L5200U series probably offers some of the best value in the market if you just want a good LED backlit picture.”

Editors note many improvements in the second to top of the line Toshiba 47L6200U for which the athors note: “Priced at $1400 or so there is lots of competition in the 46 and 47 inch size LCD TVs. This Toshiba is feature loaded and compares with the Sony KDL-46HX750, the LG 47LM6700, and the Samsung UN46ES7100 series. As such I would give it a satisfactory value rating as it comes in at a comparable price to those TVs. Of course, the passive 3D glasses do make the Toshiba a bit more competitive than the Samsung or Sony.”

Editors also reviewed models from the next series down with this comment about the super-value oriented Toshiba 50L5200U, “The 50 inch LED/LCD offering size has never been done before this year with this model. It's obviously there to offer competition to plasma TV 50” size offerings. It is a good choice even at $999 for brightly lit rooms especially ones that have light from windows if you plan on doing a lot of daytime television viewing. There are hardly any other 50 inch LCD/LED TVs to compare to as other manufacturers make 47” and 55 inch TVs not daring to compete with the 50” plasma TVs on the market. A good comp in plasma would be the Panasonic TC-P50UT50 which sells for $899 and has a better, though dimmer picture as well as 3D, and Smart TV function. Still, I give this TV over a 9 in value due to the sheer lack of competition in LED TVs in this size and because the picture gives you the positive attributes of LED if that's what you need.” And similar comments about the Toshiba 46L5200U , “At $799 this is a great value model in the 46/47” sizes range.
