off erings. Snap One already
had the Chime video doorbell
from its Control4 brand.
" We're all about helping
our partners build better
businesses and deliver better
end-customer experiences
together, " Harper says.
" A lot of what you see
perspective.
The impact of industrial
design, the ability to work
in light commercial applications,
concealment capabilities,
and ample vendor
support showed in the
booths I visited and products
I saw at Fira Barcelona
Gran Via to close this year's
record-breaking expo.
Snap One: The solutions
at the Snap One booth
conveyed how their brands
are working in harmony
and providing a compelling
unifi ed story for dealers and
their clients.
Eric Harper started
by showing Snap's new
video surveillance products
from Luma and Clare. The
AI-enabled x20 from Luma
previewed at CEDIA Expo
is NDAA compliant, now
works with OvrC, and sends
customers device alerts and
information via the new
Luma Insights platform.
On the Clare side,
Harper was excited to show
attendees the new ClareVision
Smart Video Doorbell,
which makes sense in the
product family to complement
the brand's video
walking through the booth
is just that, all tying it
together. Think about what
would otherwise be disparate
categories - media
distribution, networking,
surveillance control. How
do we bring these together
to make a partner's project
better for the end customer,
more reliable, save the
technician more time on
every project so they can
be more productive. We've
done that across the board
with these categories. "
Toward that end, Snap
within its large booth
showed its new Binary and
Episode MoIP amplifi ers;
WattBox power products
in multiple outlets and
form factors, including
Multi-Function 800 Series
Trigger; and sleek Control4
Smart Lighting keypads.
McIntosh & Sonus Faber:
You couldn't miss McIntosh's
stack of new MC2.1KW
Monoblock Amps in its
booth, bearing the 75th
anniversary logo. The new
amplifi ers also feature the
acclaimed company's iconic
blue faceplate and produce
up to 2,000 watts power.
The celebratory occasion
for McIntosh coincides
with increased visibility for
the brand among custom
integrators. The company is
pushing what it refers to as
Ci-Fi - high fi delity audio
for custom integration. On
the ultra-high end, Sonus
Faber introduced the Suprema
system to begin its own
milestone year.
" It's been a very busy beginning
to the year. Not only
are we celebrating 75 years
of McIntosh, but it is the
40th anniversary for Sonus
Faber, " notes McIntosh
Group's David Mascioni.
" We wanted the two
brands to start the year
off strong, which is why
we went to CES. We had
been working on this crazy
project between the brands
and we put three years of
development to come up
with Suprema, which is
by far the most ambitious
project ever put together
[by the brands]. "
