Panamax Expands Their MAX In-Wall PRO Series

7-Jun-04

Panamax announced the addition of three new products to the MAX In-Wall Family, part of the custom installerñcentered PRO Series. The three newest units, the MIW-Power-3Bay, MIW-Data, and MIW-SVideo, continue the systemic approach to power manage-ment by creating complete power protection and increased application flexibility for home entertainment system installers. All three units are currently available. ìOur goal with the PRO Series is giving installers complete solutions for boosting the perform-ance and value of each of their electronic system installations,î said Don King, Director of Product Marketing at Panamax. ìThe MAX In-Wall family delivers safe, clean power from the main system to remote equipment such as ceiling projectors and flat panel displays, keeping AC and signal cables hidden for a clean, code-compliant installation. And the MIW family ensures protection from damaging power fluctuations and voltage differentials that can result when a component has multiple paths to ground.îThe MAX In-Wall (MIW) Family has been engineered and designed to provide UL approved, code compliant solutions that deliver AC power and signal to remote A/V equipment. Video displays can now be installed in a discreet manner that meets the customerís aesthetic expectations. When properly installed, the MIW Family protects electronic equipment by creating a single Isolated Ground Reference (IGR) point for all AC and signal lines in a system. This eliminates multiple ground references and their attended problems. Panamax teamed with Michael Candea, Special Projects Designer for Audio Advisors, to aid in the design of the MAX In-Wall Family, ensuring it offers the professional installer and system integrator the necessary flexibility to create clean power and signal distribution solutions in a variety of applications.How The MIW POWER System WorksMAX In-Wall PowerKit-TL: The MIW-PowerKit-TL provides the ultimate, three-stage power solution for remote displays. In Stage One, the specially designed twist-lock receptacle accesses clean power from a Panamax component at the main equipment rack. At Stage Two, an in-wall power cable transmits that clean power from the twist-lock power inlet to the outlet at the remotely located display. At Stage Three, the final in-wall outlet delivers clean power and provides additional filtration to eliminate any noise that may have been introduced along the way. This three-stage power solution ensures the display has a single path to ground, which is necessary to avoid damage in the event of a power disturbance.AC Installation Protectors: MIW-Power ñ Wallplate containing a single AC power receptacle and module port which can house any of the MIW low voltage signal modules. The MIW-Power ensures a piece of equipment has a single path to ground, so it wonít incur damage from spikes or surges.MIW-Power3Bay (NEW): Wallplate containing a single AC power receptacle and three module ports to house any combination of MIW low voltage signal modules. Offers installers increased flexibility in designing complex entertainment systems that accept and distribute multiple signal lines.MAX In-Wall Low Voltage Signal Modules: The MIW-Power and MIW-Power3Bay can house any of the following modules, which easily snap in and out of the wallplate:MIW-SVideo (NEW): Low voltage module for S-Video and component video signal lines. The MIW-SVideo features one S-Video and three RCA jacks. RCA jacks may also be used for composite video and/or audio signals. MIW-Data (NEW): Low voltage module with RS-232 and Ethernet ports for home automation systems, ceiling projector control lines and /or home computer networks. MIW-5RCA & MIW-VGA: These two low voltage signal line modules are used in conjunction with the MIW-PowerKit-TL and MIW-Power units. The signal modules are designed to accommodate RGBHV, component video, composite video and/or stereo audio. The MIW-VGA features one HD-DB15 connector for video and one 3.5mm stereo phone jack for audio, an IR repeater or 12VDC trigger.MIW-B&O: Specifically designed for Bang & Olufsen systems, this unit provides surge protection for one AC outlet, one Masterlink, and one Powerlink connector.Panamax MAX In-Wall Modules:Model Type/Series/Application/MSRPMIW-PowerKit-TL/PRO/AC Twist Lock Power Installation Filter Kit/$299.95MIW-Power/PRO/AC Installation Protector/$49.95MIW-Power3Bay/PRO/AC Installation Protector/$69.95MIW-Data/PRO/Signal Module/$59.95MIW-S-Video/PRO/Signal Module/$59.95MIW-5RCA/PRO/Signal Module/$59.95MIW-VGA/PRO/Signal Module/$69.95MIW-B&O/PRO/Combination AC and Signal for B&O Systems/$99.95For more information, please visit www.panamax.com.
