A luxurious, compact 2.1 stereo wireless music system, Gatecrasher1 represents the company’s entry into the Smart Home Norwood, MA – June 20, 2018 – Atlantic Technology is announcing Gatecrasher 1, the first in a series of smart multi-room wireless speakers with streaming services and internet radio. This new product puts Atlantic Technology and its customers into the most important and fastest growing new audio category to emerge since the Smart Phone, Smart Speakers. Premium Audio Atlantic Technology is applying its legacy of award-winning sound to a premium 2.1 stereo table-top system that’s packed with an array of high-performance drivers including a stereo pair of ¾ inch aluminum dome tweeters mated with 2-inch cone bass-mid speakers. The internal sub-woofer system is composed of a 4-inch bass driver coupled to a down-firing 5-inch passive radiator. With 60 watts of class D power, this gives the system a wide frequency range with bass depth, punch and clarity Atlantic is known for. Gatecrasher1’s design, materials and construction is also a step-up over typical mainstream offerings. The wood cabinet is constructed of high-density MDF shaped to reduce internal standing waves and available in real-wood veneer gloss Makassar ebony as well as piano-black lacquer. The wrap-around metal speaker grille is acoustically transparent and the system sits solidly on four, 2-inch diameter isolation feet. Unlike many mono tabletop wireless systems sold, Gatecrasher is a compact 2.1 stereo system that produces excellent stereo in most rooms. For use in a larger room or with a TV, a “Wide” mode is available from the control panel to engage a sophisticated DSP that simulates the spatial imaging of wider-placed separate stereo speakers.

Seymour-Screen Excellence Introduces Industry’s First Color Temperature-Tunable Back-Lighting Kit for Film Screens The perfect complement to the ambient light-rejecting film screen and high-brightness projector in a darkened room setting, the kit can be calibrated to achieve a true 6,500K hue behind and around the film screen, regardless of the wall color. The subsequent improvement in contrast is aesthetically pleasing and helps reduce eye fatigue, making for an enhanced cinematic experience. Ames, Iowa – May 23, 2018 – Reference-grade film screen brand Seymour-Screen Excellence has brought to market the CEDIA channel’s first-ever tunable white bias lighting kit. The offering is unique in that it can be adjusted from 3,000K to 20,000K to achieve a true 6,500K Kelvin color temperature Properly-calibrated back-lighting (also known as hue) behind and around the film screen serves to improve contrast and reduce eye strain. This is especially useful when combining a high-brightness projector with an ambient light-rejecting (ALR) film screen in a darkened room setting. “Lighting kits have become popular among film screen and HDTV users, however much of the ones available on the market actually contaminate the video experience because they simply project primary or secondary colors onto the wall. For video purists like us, this looks so ridiculous. We jokingly refer to them as ‘dancing UFO lights,’” quips Seymour-Screen Excellence Managing Director Chris Seymour. “Understanding that the vast majority of homeowners aren’t painting their room walls a D65 color, we set out to design a solution that could compensate for their wall color and make high dynamic range (HDR) and high-brightness viewing less fatiguing. Now when the homeowner gets their projected image calibrated, their calibrator can find the bias light setting for a true 6,500K,” added Seymour.
