One of these upgrades is the use of LED Technology, rather than conventional lightbulbs, as the illumination source for the units' pop-up lights. In addition to being equipped with dual LED lights, both the PDP-850 and PDP-950 feature a handy dimming control knob that lets the user adjust the degree of brightness.
"LEDs are more efficient and reliable than ordinary bulbs, because they never burn out," said Tom Freret, national sales manager for American Audio. "You don't ever have to think about replacing them. This makes the PDP-850 and PDP-950 the ultimate worry-free solution for li

Stardraw Control generates standalone, customized control programs, offering a new approach to solving the problem of controlling heterogeneous systems; for too long, systems integrators have been locked into closed architectures wherever system control, monitoring or signal routing has been required. Stardraw Control, by contrast, offers a software-based, unified control framework that can manage any type of addressable equipment fr
The Cyclo Directional uses RGB technology to generate both coloured and white light of variable temperature. Technically this is achieved by combining dimmable T5 fluorescent lamps in the primary colours red (R), green (G) and blue (B) in a process known as additive colour mixing. The patented optical system produces a broad, even wash of ready-mixed colour. Three 54W T5 tubes create the high output necessary to cut through the high ambient light levels typically found in retail
The Krypto Sync comes pre-programmed with a whole arsenal of different geometric shapes - just plug it in, and you get continuous variety of visual patterns. Users can create their own custom shapes when the unit is in the manual mode, one of three different operational modes that the Krypto Sync can be run in. The other two modes are sound active and master slave.
In the sound active mode, the Krypto Sync's will automatically move to the beat of the music, and in master slave mode multiple units can be linked together for a synchronized light show across larger areas. The Krypto Sync is fan-cooled and comes with a 4.9mW green laser diode. Compact and lightweight, it measures 8"

Slight modifications to the circuit layout have been made to minimize noise. With all the sonic qualities retained, users will experience the authentic rotary feel of the 1620, while the panel layout remains as intuitive today as it did in the
