What makes us different than our competitors?
Plasma today still has the better and extremely bright picture and wide viewing angle however Plasma is more closely related to television technology and is susceptible to something called burn in. Burn in is not usually a problem in most television applications because the image is constantly changing however sometimes if a Plasma tv is left on a channel like CNN then the logo at the bottom of the screen may eventually burn in. LCD is not susceptible to burn but does have what is called picture memory and will retain an image if left in place for lengthy amounts of time, this will eventually fade though when the image is changed. LCD has whats called artifacting on fast moving images which means the image is not updated fast enough. This can cause the image to appear blurry and jumpy when watching fast moving video. It all comes down to each of the technologies have pluses and minuses and we can help you decide which is right for your application.
What's right for your business: 8 OHM vs. 70 Volt?
This is a simple answer, if your system is going to have several speakers throughout then a 70 Volt distributed system is what you will need. When several 8 OHM speakers are connected in a system then the wiring becomes a nightmare and will almost never be balanced properly meaning different volume levels at different speakers. 70 Volt systems deliver equal power to all speakers for a more constant level of sound. 70 Volt system require special commercial amplifiers and accessories so let us help you design your sound system to give the highest comfort level for your customers.
