Niles Audio Corporation, announced today that the company is participating in the 2007 Home Theater Cruise, including a guest appearance by Niles president Frank Sterns. The ‘home theater conference at sea’ affords Niles a great opportunity to connect with home theater aficionados through meetings, panels and networking events. Niles will also showcase StageFront Home Theater Solutions™, a new high-performance line of home theater loudspeakers. The HT Cruise sets sail on May 6th aboard Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas, bringing together home theater enthusiasts, manufacturers and industry experts for a week of fun, networking and education on a luxury Caribbean cruise. During the cruise, Niles president Frank Sterns will speak on a panel entitled “Optimum Performance In-Wall Speaker Installation.” The panel will take place on Saturday, May 12th, at 3:30pm, and it will address issues such as maximizing the performance of in-wall and custom installation loudspeakers. “Niles is proud to sponsor this year’s Home Theater Cruise,” Niles president Frank Sterns stated. “As a leader in home theater, we’re consistently developing new products and technologies, and the home theater cruise is a perfect setting in which to demonstrate the superior fidelity of our new StageFront loudspeakers while connecting with our international distributors and the entire home theater community,” Sterns added. The StageFront Home Theater Solutions™ series has distinct benefits over traditional home theater loudspeakers, including features designed exclusively to make the installation easier. The entire StageFront series includes both in-wall and cabinet models that are voice-matched to deliver consistent uniform sound quality, regardless of loudspeaker type. This frees custom installers to design systems incorporating some models that are built into cabinets or placed on stands, with others that are built into walls, optimizing performance, appearance and design flexibility. This is a feature unique to Niles, as no other brand on the market today offers voice-matched dedicated and in-wall home theater loudspeakers that can be mixed and matched. Other unique advantages include 12-Volt trigger-activated bi-pole/di-pole switching, pivoting midrange/tweeter pods and resonance-controlling cabinets for predictably-precise imaging. Advanced technology drivers, including carbon-fiber woofers and fluid-cooled Teteron® tweeters ensure a dynamic impact that’s on par with the best movie theaters. Named best of show at CEDIA EXPO 2006 by The Absolute Sound magazine and the recipient of a CES 2007 Innovations accolade, StageFront Home Theater Solutions delivers a cinematic home theater experience beyond any other.
