Stealth Acoustics brings us a new advanced Series of products named the LR X series - a 7th generation of product technology.

The first in the series is the new LRx83 and it offers a surprising improvement in their already great audio performance. The LRX series technology employs new diaphragm tuning techniques where elevated materials such as carbon fiber can be strategically used to fine tune response and performance. The result is a remarkable sound quality with excellent dispersion [170 degrees hemispherically] with rich bass, sparkling highs and transparent midrange.

LRX-83 is a three-way, full-range loudspeaker system that becomes completely invisible after installation. The LRx83 uses an acoustically coupled high quality low profile, high-power 8” woofer, with a 30mm direct coupled neo-magnet mid-range driver and a direct coupled 25 mm neo-magnet high-frequency driver. Its advanced internal materials allow for smooth frequency extension to 20 kHz. When the LRX-83 is installed in the recommended backbox, frequency response below 40 Hz can be easily achieved. The LRX-83 contains two independent protection circuits (high/mid-frequency and low-frequency sections) that automatically reset upon reduction of excessive amplifier power.

The soon to launch LRx85 takes performance to a new level by offering 300 watt power handling with output up to 105dB delivering premium extended-range sound quality. The LRX85 utilizes separate, easy to install, flat front panels for mid-high and bass reproduction, improving performance while minimizing intermodulation distortion. The two panels may be mounted as far as 1 meter apart and still provide coherent high-quality installations.

Anthem STR Preamp

If you auditioned the new Anthem STR Preamp, you know that it is a powerful and articulate combination of a deadly silent preamplifier with a high performance DAC and flexible bass management all in one chassis. When you add ARC [Anthem Room Correction] and a super MM/MC photo section to it - the STR is unstoppable in value and performance.

In the video below, the STR family of products is detailed. Please watch!
In the recent Audio Video Magazine review of the STR Preamp and STR Amplifier they ended with "...Anthem has successfully migrated its innovation, digital signal processing expertise, room correction know-how and commitment to quality into the notoriously difficult high-end stereo environment."
Get Defiant Bass
Paradigm's Defiance series are recognized by pure power and performance. Control most Defiance series subwoofers with app control and Anthem Room Correction (ARC) and your client will experience powerful, perfectly balanced bass at their fingertips.
Defiance Subwoofers are designated into two series:
  • The "V" series offers superb value with efficient performance utilizing beefy amplifiers driving an 8", 10" and 12" woofer, each within an optimized ported cabinet space. Every effort has been made to make them be the top performer in their price class!
  • The X Series sports even larger application from 300-900 watts RMS. Their 10", 12" and 15" woofers take control of their space delivering massive bass output.
MartinLogan Masterpiece performance for under $10,000!
The Impression ESL 11A is a performance that is undisputed as a champion for the class of under $10,000. Featuring a 11-inch (CLS) XStat electrostatic transducer, 2 each 8-inch PoweredForce Forward woofers each powered by 2 each 275-watt Class-D amplifiers, with both woofers controlled by a 24-Bit Vojtko DSP Engine and ARC (Anthem Room Correction), they respond from a whisper to the loudest dynamics with ease!

Wasted Space Turned to Bass
Every high end speaker sounds at their best pulled into the room and placed perfectly. The Impression ESL 11A is no different except that takes that wasted space behind the speaker and uses it to create the tightest most detailed bass with authority ever measured from a loudspeaker at this price point.

Electrostatic speaker technology is unique to MartinLogan in that they have made it a reliable and robust performance while capturing the impressive response of an electrostatic panel. No fragility here!

SurgeX Surge Elimination Technology Rules
SurgeX's own Jimmy Paschke breaks down the technology and advantages of using SurgeX to assure that your system installation are free of degenerating surge energy and less likely to be plagued with the hassles of ground contamination and its painful consequences.

SurgeX's Envision tool is a wonderful device to help with sales, troubleshooting and is useful as a permanent installation on large systems. Add the RP-IP to make the Envision's diagnostics available across the network and connect directly to your office! You can remotely monitor and download time-stamped and historical data in CSV and PDF formats.
Do you have time to go through a demo/training on how to use the Envision too? Let's set it up!
Large Format UPS - Who How & Why?
There is a great deal of opportunity to sell in a large format UPS system. There is also a lack of vision and understanding when and where these devices are needed.

Large format UPS's allow the client to have stable consistent power in an unstable electrical grid. They also provide the bridge between loss of power and a client's generator. I was discussing a generator with someone recently and they thought their generator was instant on... This is not the case. During a generator test, the transfer to test the generator takes place after the generator has started and stabilized so it seems instant... the time for this to happen in a real power outage is 5-8 seconds and in some cases longer. It is plenty of time for items of your installation to disconnect from the network and be very unstable. AS further advantage is that even when our large format UPS's are not providing power from their batteries, their power supplies are smoothing the grid from 85 V to 135V to be a consistent 120 V.

Connecting a Large Format UPS to the home or business is a unique scheme. See the diagram below for a wiring concept. Instead of placing the UPS after the SurgeX surge eliminator in the rack, it is in this unique circumstance in front of the PF-420's being used for Surge Elimination. The UPS brings super quiet 120 voltage to the system, while the PF-420's eliminate any surge energy without contaminating ground! SurgeX delivers power in Large Format UPS from 10KVA, 15KVA and 20KVA. Even larger ones are available on a special order. Need more?
