Stealth Acoustics Outdoor Video
Go Large & Customized For Your Client
This Stealth Acoustics customer lives large and wanted his outdoor entertainment experience to match his lifestyle. His dealer reached out to Stealth Acoustics for the client's design concept and the necessary hardware. Aesthetics were also very important and they wanted to maintain minimal visual impact in the pool area when the screen was retracted into its enclosure. At 155″ in size, the partially recessed, pool side, ultra-large-scale Patio Theater system provides the optimum viewing angle and daytime viewable brightness in a most spectacular fashion. You can check out more information about this particular installation here .
Here it is... Now it is completely hidden! This Stealth Acoustics dealer's client had a concept in mind and wanted a large-scale and fully retractable TV screen that disappeared entirely into the pool house floor when not in use. This included preserving an existing tile floor that would cover the retracted screen so that tiled are could be walked on. Consistent matching up of the seams between the stationary floor tile and the tile over the top of the motorized screen demanded a precise installation and stability of the screen when in motion. See more details around this luxurious installation here.

Anthem Room Correction - ARC - is a proprietary solution to resolve room interaction with loudspeakers! An audio system’s performance is always negatively affected by a room’s unique characteristics. The size and shape of the room, its construction, the furnishings, and other factors cause standing waves, resonances, and reflections that can color the sound played by loudspeakers. Utilizing proprietary algorithms developed by Anthem engineers,

NEW! ARC Genesis creates custom correction curves that retain the favorable acoustic signature of speakers and remove negative room contributions. These custom filters are then used to program high-quality digital signal processing (DSP) technology embedded within compatible audio products. This program now works on both PC and IOS laptops and desktops. A Paradigm or MartinLogan PBK microphone, Anthem Microphone supplied with Anthem receivers, preamps, and preamp processors or the auxiliary microphone available through Paradigm or Martinlogan must be used as the measurement tool. These microphones offer corrective curves via their serial numbers that can be downloaded from Anthem AV or a linear response not requiring a corrective curve and are recognized by the software.
ARC Mobile allows you to use Anthem Room Correction with a high level of convenience. ARC Mobile allows you to optimize select ARC compatible audio devices by using either the internal microphone of iOS devices (for all measurements) and Android devices with an optional calibrated microphone. The optional calibrated microphone, which connects via the headphone jack or lightning connection (iOS) or USB (Android), adapts the Android phone or tablet to perform ARC measurements accurately. The IOS devices use exactly the same microphone regardless of the device so they can consistently be used for measurements without the auxiliary microphone being required. In the case of IOS, the device's protective skin or case must be removed for measurements.
Get ARC going today and correct your room for your Anthem AV receiver , preamp processor , preamplifier , Defiance Subwoofer , MartinLogan Dynamo Subwoofer , and MartinLogan Masterpiece Loudspeakers . You can gain the same performance for the bass region of the response using MartinLogan PBK or Paradigm PBK for their associated subwoofers.

Is My ISP Spying On Me? My Clients?

Yes, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is likely spying on your web browsing and your client's. DuckDuckGo can help significantly cut down on their ability to spy. Your ISP is the company that gets you onto the Internet – your home Internet or mobile data provider. If your ISP is spying on you, it means they can use or sell your browsing history to others for things like creepy ads that follow you around the Internet or to junk mail providers. End this by adding DuckDuckGo to your web browser .
Stealth Acoustics Stingray Loudspeakers
Whether it is customizing a Stealth Acoustics Stingray to match to a corporate identity with a logo, an exact match to a building exterior, or a color match to any pantone color, Stealth Acoustics Stingray 6, Stingray 8,and Stingray SR430 subwoofers can integrate perfectly. Not only will the client be delighted with the sound, they will be blown away by the cool factor of exactly what they wanted visually!

The StingRay family can also be special ordered in sand or gray stone textured finishes or custom painted to match any décor. To offer a completely unique finish option, select the Image Wrap version and elect to have an actual photograph of the speaker's surroundings or even artwork laminated directly to the face of the speaker.

ROON Simplifies Music While Integrating Information And Your Client's Devices.
Consolidates Looking For Music
Your clients have music content from many sources, often acquired over years in various file formats. Roon identifies their music, then enhances it with the latest metadata. And this isn't just for their local files, it works for content from streaming services too! High quality services such as Tidal and Qobuz work flawlessly with it.

Players Become End Points
Many brands play together with Roon. See some of them here . When they appear in Roon, they all become zones or End Points as Roon calls them. Suddenly you can mix brands of players - your client is not longer locked to a closed system.

The Roon Core Is The Brain Of The System
You Need A Core
A PC or a Core enabled device is needed to catalog all of the data Roon needs to run. Some installations are fine with using a PC as a permanent device that is on all of the time for instant Roon access. Roon sells a device called a Nucleus that can act as your core and even store some files. It is a bit expensive. Intel launched a very compact fanless computer called a NUC and it is only 4" by 4" that can easily be placed on your client's system. To make it into a Nucleus/Core you can download and install a Roon Ready Image loading a Roon Server using Linux called a Rock . Once loaded onto the NUC, your core needs are covered.
Interesting Installation Options
The low cost Raspberry PI can be used to create End Points for your client's Roon based system. Load ROPIEEE software onto the Raspberry PI and choose and associated playing device. Some devices will integrate directly with it's USB output. Others are easily added by using HAT s. A HAT is a board that integrates directly to connections on on the PI and makes it play into your system design. They are available as Digital out boards - Coax and Toslink, speaker level amplified output, and more. One example is the HiFi Berry boards.

CE Pro Goes "Hands On" With Paradigm E5 LCR's
CE Pro's Robert Archer spends time with a pair of Paradigm E5 LCR's. Some of his comments included:
  • I thought the speakers were detailed, smooth and they provided high levels of top-end extension, without being shrill, thin or bright. 
  • Another aspect that really impressed me was how effortlessly the speakers filled my room with sound. The soundstage was big, and the image was tight and crisp.
  • ...E5-LCR offers undeniable performance, build quality and value.
