The all-new Omni Sub8, Sub10 and Sub12 boast a more refined look than their predecessors. Additional enhancements include the incorporation of Class D amplification and a significant easier setup process for dealers Portland, OR – March 25, 2015 – Triad Speakers, Inc., a leading custom manufacturer of reference quality loudspeakers for the home, has gone back to the drawing board on its InRoom OmniSub line, making considerable cosmetic and performance enhancements. The InRoom OmniSub Series consists of the 200-watt Sub8, 300-watt Sub10 and 500-watt Sub12. Each can be used for both 2-channel and home theater applications and mated with any of Triad’s vast assortment of InRoom, InCeiling, InWall and OnWall loudspeakers. “For a cleaner, more simplified look -- in an age where ‘less is more’ -- we’ve relocated the controls from atop the cabinet to behind the grille. While now completely concealed, the controls are fully accessible, even when installed in a furniture cabinet,” says Triad Speakers, Inc. Marketing Director Paul Teixeira. Triad is now using Class D amplification in the OmniSubs. “Class D amps retain the sound quality of traditional, hotter-running Class AB amps, yet operate more efficiently and cooler, making them extremely reliable,” furthers Teixeira.

The Company is educating installers on the perils of using knock-off REELEX bulk wire cartons and vows to continue to pursue measures against patent and trademark offenders Featured video: Side-by-side pull-test of knock-off REELEX carton failing versus that of REELEX-enabled carton: www.REELEX.com/counterfeit Patterson, NY - March 16, 2015 - REELEX Packaging Solutions -- inventor of the REELEX Packaging System which incorporates a specialized cable coil wind-pattern and payout dispenser -- is embarking on an anti-counterfeiting campaign aimed at educating installers of the perils of using knock-off REELEX packaging systems and non-compliant cables. The company also vows to continue to pursue measures against wire & cable brands that violate its patents and trademarks. REELEX is a patented, trademarked method of winding cable into a figure-eight coil that in turn, does not rotate during payout. This approach dates back to WWII as a method for US soldiers on the front lines to more efficiently run wire from their backpacks. Today, the REELEX coil hugely benefits bulk cartons of LAN and low-voltage cables across AV, security and electrical channels, most especially for installers conducting one-man wire-pulls. In optimizing each REELEX coil, factors such as gain, payout hole control and the density of the wind, along with progressive coil tension, are all instrumental in producing tangle-free packages. Void of any moving parts, the REELEX coil dispenses from the inside-out with a clear path, thus avoiding the twists, tangles and snags that plague knockoff bulk wire cartons. This unique coil can only be produced via unique, licensed software on a specialized REELEX machine purchased by a wire / cable manufacturer.
