MONITOR AUDIO LAUNCHES NEW ADDITIONS TO THE VECTA RANGE: THE V240-LV SPEAKER AND THE V-CLUSTER BRACKET Vecta is an architectural weather resistant range of speakers that offers incredible versatility and simple installation in places where other speaker choices would prove impractical. In both domestic and commercial locations, Vecta speakers can be wall-mounted, either horizontally or vertically, and discreetly installed under eaves or straight on the corner. The new V240-LV speaker adds further versatility in commercial applications with 70/100V line level. An integrated transformer allows the system designer to consider multiple speakers in a system without worrying about impedance matching or losses where long cable runs are required. This particularly benefits larger commercial applications, but can also be beneficial in larger, more complex domestic designs. VECTA To further expand the application options of the V240-LV speaker, Monitor Audio has launched a new 4-point cluster bracket, the V-CLUSTER. Using a ceiling- fan-mounting pole* (not supplied) allows four V240-LVs to be slotted onto the V-CLUSTER bracket to form a sphere, providing near-perfect 360-degree sonic coverage in the horizontal plane. Enhanced vertical dispersion is provided by the natural curvature of the Vecta’s design and its wide dispersion driver array. The bracket fitting is completed with a single point screw securing each speaker in place. With an IP55 rating, Vecta is a speaker range designed to withstand extreme environmental exposure and to deliver incredible audio quality for a lifetime. The compact form factor and unique design aesthetics ensure the speakers blend seamlessly into the background, providing architects and installers with a fresh choice for discreet internal and external audio applications. CREATE A USEABLE LIVING SPACE BELOW YOUR DECK WITH REVOLUTIONARY TREX RAINESCAPE ® The new Trex RainEscape® system allows homeowners and developers to maximise outdoor living environments and create the dream space. Trex RainEscape deck drainage system manages water to allow for a dry, useable space beneath an elevated deck. Installed above the joists of the substructure, this innovative system features a trough and downspout construction that drains water away from a deck and protects the area below from rain, sun, snow melt and other elements. As a result, homeowners gain bonus space for storage or added living area. With Trex RainEscape, homeowners can safely outfit the area under a deck with outdoor furnishings, lighting, ceiling fans and entertainment components. The Trex RainEscape system is an easy and inexpensive addition to any elevated deck and is backed by a 20-year limited warranty. Trex Company is the world’s No 1 decking brand. Made of more than 95% recycled materials, Trex composite decking provides the look and feel of real wood, without the environmental impact. Trex resists fading scratching and mould growth so, unlike wooden decking, it won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter.

Unlike competitive products – which make use of “under joist” technology – Trex RainEscape is installed above the joists, protecting them from moisture, water damage and deterioration that may occur over time and ensuring the structural integrity of the deck. The system is easy and efficient to install on both new and existing decks – making it an ideal solution for both contractors and do-it-yourselfers.
