Proficient ZERO wireless music system to debut at CEDIA expo 2011

Aug. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- The PROFICIENT ZERO™ Wireless Music System adds powerful new features that build on the success of the brand’s AirFlex system. PROFICIENT ZERO transmits high-quality stereo sound up to 90 feet, reducing labor charges for speaker wire and cable runs through walls in existing homes and buildings. The system consists of the PROFICIENT ZERO transmitter and amplified receiver. New features include the capability to expand up to as many as eight receivers per transmitter.

The PROFICIENT ZERO receiver comes with a high-quality digital amp built-in. In addition, the receiver can be installed behind a wall-mounted TV and used as a utility amplifier to get better sound from the TV. It can run any powered subwoofer wirelessly.

Applications include wireless multi-room/multi-zone audio; wireless stereo speakers; wireless surround speakers; flat panel TV audio amp; wireless subwoofer for home theater; and computer/video game/mp3 players.

According to the recently released CEDIA Member Benchmarking survey, 63% of installing dealer revenue for 2010 came from retrofit and remodel installs. With a reduced number of new home starts, people are no longer house-hopping. That’s what makes the PROFICIENT ZERO ideal for retrofit applications where homeowners would like a whole-house sound system but without the mess and expense of getting into the walls to run wire. Installing dealers can put in a four to eight room wireless sound system in a day while they are doing a flat-panel TV job.

Unlike almost every other custom install product out in the marketplace today, system integrators can easily demo PROFICIENT ZERO in a home or business. They can quickly show the benefits of a wireless multi-room system or simply a cost efficient improvement to a new flat screen sound system. Proficient will be offering to system integrators a “Music in Minutes™” demo kit to easily facilitate demonstration.
   
The PROFICIENT ZERO system product will be shipping in Q4 2011.
