New this year is the Berlin range of narrow dispersion loudspeakers, available in two configurations (90x40 and 60x40). The new models retain the outstanding durability, voice intelligibility musical audio quality and long-distance output of traditional 120x120 Berlin loudspeakers; while giving design engineers, contractors and consultants seeking a more controlled output pattern. Suitable for tightly controlled acoustic environments indoors or in outdoor installations where long distance projection is required - especially large stadiums - the Berlin narrow dispersion loudspeakers will be displayed at InfoComm 2009 for the first time.
At InfoComm 2008, the company introduced two products that saw the company build on its traditional product range: The Schedulon, an automatic mp3 player and recording system; and the PowerChiton range of compact, durable and weatherproof NEMA power amplifier modules. Now shipping worldwide, Technomad announces a series of upgrades to both products that "will appeal to new and traditional markets".
The Schedulon is designed for use in themed entertainment, high-quality music playback, simulated environments, sports, schools and universities, and commercial security applications. The Schedulon provides instant, manual playback of up to 99 knob-assigned, user-loaded audio files from a front-panel screen, and allows automatic playback on a user-defined schedule based on an internal clock or synchronized network time server.
For InfoComm 2009, Technomad announces a new internal power backup option that provides redundancy in the event of power loss. The new internal power backup option provides a battery for up to 20 minutes of audio. The battery also keeps any scheduled playback events on target for approximately 75 minutes. The Schedulon immediately 'wakes up' at the current time to resume playback of all scheduled content after battery power expires and the unit is restarted.
"Technomad continues to refine existing products that offer proven value to design engineers, systems integrators and end users in our traditional markets," said Rodger von Kries, vice president of Technomad. "At the same time, the company is adding key new products and upgrades that provide a more well-rounded Technomad portfolio, and appeal to both our traditional customers and allow for growth in new markets."
