Amina Technologies Spread-Source Loudspeaker Technology Offers Distinct Performance, Decorative and Durability Advantages Over Conventional Speakers Worldwide VP of Engineering Technologies and VP of Sales for the Americas Keith Vanderkley details how the company’s spread-source speakers differ from conventional point-source in their ability to more evenly disperse sound throughout the room, including rooms acoustically challenged by hard surfaces, glass walls and obstructions, and how integrators are applying the speakers with great success to a multitude of performance-demanding indoor, outdoor and marine settings. Huntingdon, UK – December 19, 2019 – Celebrating 20-years, Amina Technologies is an innovator and manufacturer of invisible speakers used around the world in a wide variety of ‘architecturally-sensitive’ settings, from décor-chic retail shops to restaurants and nightclubs, from modest to most opulent residences, and even luxury ships - all where quality sound, space and dispersion is paramount yet the speakers must be completely concealed, not even a seam can be showing. The basis of the Amina® loudspeaker is its Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) design which makes it unlike any conventional loudspeaker, but rather more like an acoustical instrument. The technology employed is based on Bending Wave Theory, the principle workings of soundboards within instruments, like the strings of a guitar, violin or piano transferring the vibration via a bridge to the soundboard, which in turn projects the sound into the room, radiating evenly in all directions. With DML, the company’s patented electronic neodymium exciters set in motion tens to thousands of tiny sympathetic vibrations all over a planar soundboard. The vibrations excite adjacent air molecules which come together with Amina’s tuning and Opti-drive® and Opti-damping® techniques to create full-bodied, omni-directional sound, just like the instrume...

Invisible Speaker Company Amina Technologies Appoints Central Plains Territory Independent Manufacturer Sales Representative Firm Performance Sales and Marketing Huntingdon, UK – November 25, 2019 – UK-based Amina Technologies, an innovator and manufacturer of invisible spread source speaker technologies celebrating 20-years this year, today announced the appointment of Performance Sales and Marketing as its independent manufacturer sales representative firm in the Central Plains (Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Southern Illinois). Led by principal John Curtiss, Performance Sales and Marketing represents best-of-breed CEDIA channel manufacturers. Having previously represented Amina as former rep for Triad Speakers -- whom then were the distributor of UK-based Amina -- Curtiss is already experienced in the line. “Having John Curtiss re-join is a total no-brainer,” said Amina Worldwide VP of Engineering Technologies and VP of Sales for the Americas Keith Vanderkley of the renewed alliance. “His proven track record and previous involvement with our products and knowledge of architectural solutions and the great relationships he enjoys with his dealers makes total sense for both the Central plains region, as well as for our products, which have evolved and expanded quite a bit over the past few years. John will make a great addition to our team and the timing could not have been any better!” “I couldn’t be more excited about representing the Amina line again,” said Curtiss of the reconnection. “With their honeycomb soundboards and integrated exciters, the Amina speakers distribute a wider sound field than even traditional top architectural and floor standing speakers yet are completely naked to the eye once installed in the wall or ceiling and finished with a skim coat, wallpaper or veneer. The company has a full suite of solutions including high SPL models. This is home run for dealers.”

Next Level Acoustics Achieve Breakthrough Aesthetic Design and Sound Quality in a Soundbar Expressly Created to Complement Samsung’s Popular 4K UHD QLED Frame TV Needham, MA – November 20, 2019 – Next Level Acoustics, known for audiophile quality American-made custom-install speakers, soundbars and enclosures, is now shipping their breakthrough new soundbar line called “Fusion Frame”. “Insights into unmet needs for sound quality and aesthetics in the soundbar market led us to a new creative solution – the Fusion Frame soundbar designed expressly as a perfect match for the highly-successful Frame TV™ from market share leader Samsung®,” said Rob Goldman Founder and COO of Next Level Acoustics. Frame TV was created in 2017 when Samsung and Fuseproject™, a design agency led by award-winning Swiss designer Yves Béhar partnered to create a better way to integrate TV in the home. They noted the consumer’s biggest objection is that when a TV is turned off it’s an obtrusive “black hole”. Thus, custom installers are frequently asked to hide TV’s with expensive cabinets or otherwise make the TV disappear.
