1-Mar-00

Niles, the leader in custom installed audio, video and home automation products, will feature its full line of iPOWER Intelligent Power Management Systems, including the award-winning IPC-12 Intelligent Power Control System. Based on solid scientific principles, Niles iPOWER Systems, represent technological advances in every area of power management. iPOWER yields real breakthroughs in noise filtration, power protection performance, ergonomics and systems integration.iPOWER Power Management Systems are ingeniously designed to protect valuable electronic equipment from damaging power conditions, and can actually improve the performance of audio/video products. Developed with custom installation professionals and system designers in mind, the iPOWER line comprises a complete series of power management systems designed to meet the needs and budget of nearly any home entertainment enthusiast.Thew ICP-12, flagship of the line, has already been awarded an Innovations Design and Engineering Award, honoring products that represent the best in new and innovative technology, by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). It includes such installer-friendly features as programmable, microprocessor controlled power-up and shut-down capabilities, true line diagnostics and feedback, and a versatile dual-zone trigger system that responds to o 3-30VAC or DC. The unit's UL-listed surge-suppression circuit offers 1550 Joules of protection for AC outlets. In addition, the IPC-12 features an automated turn-on circuit, and six outlet pairs that can be individually programmed for switched, unswitched or delayed operation (with programmable delays of from 1 to 99 seconds). Most of these features, plus many others, are found in all iPOWER Power Management Systems.The real iPOWER story lies in the sophisticated solutions provided for powerline management issues. The AC power line is the foundation of all performance characteristics in a A/V system. Unfortunately, good, clean power is hard to come by in our highly industrialized world. Noise from a multitude of sources, including computers, RF broadcasts and automation products, rob detail, impact and clarity from A/V system performance. At the same time, today's high performance home entertainment electronics, especially high resolution HDTV and DBS systems, can reveal the smallest shortcomings in the quality of AC power.Niles iPOWER products are fully integrated power management systems that solve the power dilemma, providing performance, safety and an unrivaled level of system integration. Featuring three innovative technologies, i3 three-stage power protection, iDefinition circuit topology, and iQ optimal Q impulse AC line noise filtering, iPOWER Power Management Systems unleash the performance of home entertainment systems, while providing a solution to the problem of power management that exceeds even the demanding performance requirements of HDTV and DBS.Finally, iPOWER products feature an elegant, approachable user interface. As a pioneer of home A/V customization, Niles understands that technology is only useful if it is used. IPOWER gives installer the flexibility and incentives to design and execute spectacular systems consumer can actually operate.The iPOWER line consists of four microprocessor-based, component-style systems, the IPC-12, ICP-10, IPC-8PRO and IPC-8, and five models employing a convenient strip-type configuration, the AC-8DSS+, AC-8DSS, AC-8CX, AC-6+ and AC-6.Niles iPOWER Intelligent Power Management Systems:- IPC-12 $499.95 - IPC-10 $449.95 - IPC-8PRO $349.95 - IPC-8 $299.95 - AC-8DSS+ $229,95 - AC-8DSS $189.95 - AC-8CX $129.95 - AC-6+ $149.95 - AC-6 $ 99.95About NilesNiles, a 21-year-old company based in Miami, Florida, offers technically brilliant, elegantly desgined line of custom installation products engineered to meet the needs of consumers and installers.
