5 of the 6 new Founders Series Paradigm loudspeakers are shipping already! With these models everything from two channel system to full-blown surround systems can be specified. They easily combine with a variety of subwoofers from the Defiance, Prestige, and Seismic series.
The Founders 120H will be shipping soon and will cap the top of the product range by adding powered woofers and Anthem Room Correction.
The Founders 100F and 80F offer full range performance in their floor-standing design. The Founders 40B bookshelf model can stand-alone as a shelf-mounted performer, position as a stand-mount speaker, or fill in the rear channels of a surround system.
The Founder 90C is the obvious choice for a high performance center channel, while the smaller Founder 70LCR can be applied as a center, a left/center/right configuration or even as a book shelf pair. |

What Kind Of Electrical Signal Should A $100,000 Projector Or A Large Direct View LED Display Have As It's Supply? |
|
Protecting Video Displays
The electrical signal going to these very large displays is critically important. Not only is the investment you helped the client purchase and install at stake, so is the continued performance of these remarkable products. Perhaps with smaller projectors or other smaller direct view LED displays you might deploy an in-line surge eliminator to keep them from receiving destructive electrical surges. You might have added UPS after the surge device to assure that the voltage was backed up and maybe even stable using an online UPS. Great installations if these were your techniques!
Video Behemoths Require More Electrical Consideration
These video behemoths require even more consideration. They need surge-free signal, carefully filtered for electrical noise, ideally stable 240 volt staying well within +/- a couple of volts and backed-up with online power so the devices can stay within their operating ranges and shut down to prevent overheating.
SurgeX Team To The Rescue
The engineering team with input from the sales team has the ideal electrical solution for your video behemoth installation!

The SurgeX UPS-17302-60R is an online UPS that has 240V 14.4 Amp output with a perfect sinewave power for your display. It will hold up the display in the event of a power outage and allows a proper cool down when it is turned off. It's rock solid voltage prevents any variance in voltage from destabilizing the video and it delivers the goods from an input of 80V to 135V per leg while still delivering a perfect continuous output. On either side of these voltages <80V and >135V supply it will deliver the same output while on battery. The combination of the two SurgeX devices assures a perfect constant supply without concerns for common failures unprotected displays may experience.

"Regarding a fire that occurred on
|
|
|
October 20, 2020, at our semiconductor plant located in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, Japan, please be informed of the following with regard to the situation of the plant and product supply:
Situation of the plant
On October 24, 2020, the Nobeoka Fire Department declared the fire to be extinguished. The Police and Fire Departments are continuing their investigation of the site.
At the current time, there is no clear prospect for identification of the cause of the fire or for restoration of operation of the plant.
We will continue to fully cooperate with the authorities to investigate the cause of the fire.
Situation of product supply
- In late November 2020, we began shipping product inventory which had been stored at the plant.
- We have discussed with our customers about the possibility of switching to alternative products, and requested other semiconductor manufacturers to supply such alternative products to our customers where possible.
- Regarding cases where alternative products are unavailable, we are advancing preparations for substitute manufacturing.
- Currently, several semiconductor manufacturers are cooperating with this endeavor regarding certain products.
We will continue to make every effort regarding identification of the cause of the fire and fulfilment of product supply.
