Essential Install | Products Vogel’s Launches State-Of-The-Art Wall Mounts Bracket manufacturer, Vogel’s, has extended its high end NEXT range to include motorised options as well as incorporated sound bars. Complimenting the current sales growth and success of larger format screens, the products are aimed at consumers who desire a little more functionality than the average mounting solution. The products will now form part of a selective distribution agreement with all authorised stockists listed on Vogel’s dealer locator. Stockists are entitled to free state of the art in store demonstration units, allowing the end user to experience and fully appreciate the exciting added value features on offer. The new products are available in the UK through Turnstone AV, Vogel’s exclusive importer in the UK. Managing director James Attfield says: “We are very excited about the new line up, driving innovation and premium value ahead of anything our competitors can do is at the core of our DNA. “We are confident that we are appealing to those who aspire to provide their customers with the very best products money can buy. And of course, with the ERPs starting at £399 and going up to £1,099 there is clearly the opportunity for bracket margins on high ticket items which we know is music to the ears of progressive retailers.” James added: “Our selective distribution agreement precludes any sales online through any third-party marketplace sellers because it is absolutely critical for us to drive consumers into stores so that they can experience the products for themselves. Whilst there will be online sales, this is only through authorised partners who can provide the full suite of experiences including landing pages, rich media content feeds and our best in class flatscreenfitter tool.” The product family includes Next Design Mount 7345 (40in – 65in), Next Design Mount for LG Oled (40in – 65in) and NEXT MotionMount 7355, App controlled, combining the NEXT 7345 with motorised motion. Also included is the NEXT SoundMount 8365 which includes the incorporated sound bar which moves with the TV and wireless subwoofer. NEXT MotionSoundMount 8375 features both, motorised motion, App-controlled and incorporated sound bar and wireless subwoofer. A further feature is that the TV’s remote control returns the MotionSoundMount and the MotionMount to the last viewing position with no need for a second remote. Both offer 120° of motion, with a user being able to select one of 10 pre-set positions using the dedicated smartphone App. More Information: Turnstone av +44 (0)330 2020980, www.turnstoneav.co.uk NuVo Plays A Fresh Hand Nuvo makes a play for more of the multi-room audio market Legrand has announced the launch of the Nuvo P4300 Player, the newest rack mounted model to the Nuvo family. The maker says this is its most powerful, efficient unit yet, boasting simplified installation and diagnostics, with a backlit touch screen display. The three source, three amplifier design enables three independent sources of audio content to be played simultaneously in three rooms. The P4300 allows users to access music from Spotify, TuneIn, Napster, Deezer and SiriusXM, as well as from content stored on networked computers, iOS and Android portable devices. Class D amplifiers deliver the high quality audio with 110W of power that remains consistent when set to four, six or eight ohm through the App during set up. Richard Hayward, lead marketing manager for Legrand UK and Ireland’s Wiring Devices business says: “The P4300 delivers the best professional whole home audio system yet. It pairs the experience of the users’ music, when and where they want it, with incredible power and clarity. “Offering a rack mounted solution that packs multiple amps into a single space, a cooler running unit and the added value of the backlit touch screen for gauging diagnostics, the P4300 is ideally suited to the professional integrator, delivering customers the experience they are looking for.” The player’s backlit touch screen display shows system status and zone name in addition to system configuration information. All line inputs and line outputs use a combination 3.5mm analogue/Toslink connection and the unit’s side-mounted heat sinks allow convenient single-space rack mounting to conserve space and increase installation flexibility in the rack.
