To shortenits projection distance, Optomadeveloped a new optical projectionsystem, which incorporatesa short-throw lens with asphericallens elements that providea throw ratio of 0.6:1. Shorteningthe necessary projectiondistance increases the numberof options available for installationto include almost anywhere:tabletops, ceilings, walls or thefloor. Features TI’s DLP chipsetand incorporates BrilliantColortechnology to ensure imageshave vivid, accurate color.Optoma Technology(408) 383-3700www.optomausa.comOmniMount’s ‘Green’ LineOmniMount’s OmniLite Seriesof flat-panel mounts (OL50FT,OL125FT and OL200FT) is environmentallyfriendly, with productand condensed packaging madefrom recycled materials andminimized component parts. Theamount of material used was reducedby 32% while increasingeach mount’s overall strength,and therefore weight capacity,by 56%. These flat-panel mountsoffer fixed and tilt functionality.Manuals and installation templatesfor each product will beprinted on the inside of the box,eliminating unnecessary paperuse. The series will use 100%recyclable internal packagingwith no plastic bags, post-consumerrecyclable outer box materialand non-petroleum-basedink for all package printing.OmniMount Systems(800) 668-6848www.omnimount.comLab.gruppen’sInstallation AmpLab.gruppen’s C Series C 88:4network-controlled installationamp, housed in a 12kg 2RUchassis, is a 4-channel modelsupplying 8800W of total output.Up to 2200W per discretechannel are available at 2 ohmsand 2100W per channel at 4ohms, while 4600W are availablethrough 2 bridged outputpairs at 4 ohms. Using VoltagePeak Limiting (VPL), it can beconfigured for operation with 4channels, 3 channels (1 bridgedpair) or 2 channels (both pairsbridged). Each output can be individuallytailored for either lowimpedanceor high-impedance(70/100 V) systems, allowingflexibility across the full range ofapplications. It retains all otherfeatures of the C Series, includingClass TD amp topology,Regulated Switch Mode PowerSupply (R.SMPS), Phoenix-typeinput connectors and screw terminaloutput connectors.Lab.gruppendistributed by TC|US(818) 665-4900www.labgruppen.comNady’s High-Power SpeakersNady’s J-12M and J-15M J-Seriesmulti-purpose speakers canbe used as FOH or monitor cabinetsand offer 700W handlingcapacity.
