Salamander Designs Floating Wall Bracket
Salamander’s new Floating Wall Bracket creates an unusual and dramatic look for all nine styles of Salamander’s flagship Chameleon Collection of A/V cabinets. The bracket mounts flush against the wall, and connects to the rigid crossbar of the cabinet’s sturdy aluminum framework. Fully mounted, it creates the illusion a Chameleon cabinet is floating above the floor. The bracket, which mounts to conventional wood wall studs, is the essence of simplicity, but the effect is quite dramatic. The bracket is available in the four sizes of each of Chameleon’s nine styles and single, double wide, triple and even quad lengths (which can be 90 inches or longer).

Gefen GefenTV Auto Volume Stabilizer with Digital Audio Decoder
This solution has a big impact on the way consumers enjoy their entertainment systems. When watching television, for example, commercials are often much louder then the program. This device enables a smooth transition and consistent level of volume when listening to TV, movies and CDs. It automatically equalizes audio from different sources for a steady volume; everything is heard at the same intensity for a more enjoyable experience. The device is easily installed, and comes with analog (L/R) and digital (TOSlink, S/PDIF) connectors. It incorporates Dolby 5.1 digital decoding and converting to 2-channel to expand its compatibility and convenience. It will work with today’s television sets, A/V receivers, CD players, DVD players and more. Multiple sources can be connected at the same time, and accessed with the IR remote or a selector to switch sources. Whatever source is selected will be automatically adjusted to maintain your optimal level of volume. There is also a bypass button to prevent automatic stabilizing, if desired.
