Sept. 14, 2006-- Universal Electronics Inc. today announced that a limited edition high gloss black version of the award-winning NevoSL controller will be unveiled at the upcoming Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) Expo to be held in Denver, CO on September 14 -17. The High Gloss Black NevoSL will be available only through select distributors for the custom electronics professional.

One year after its introduction, the NevoSL has quickly gained recognition from the professional custom installer community.

This High Gloss Black NevoSL will provide custom installation professionals a control option to match the growing trend of high definition television monitors that are offered in gloss black or dark wood finishes.

The new product adds yet another SKU to the UEI family of products, accessories, and services offered to the custom installer. Equipped with the recently launched NevoStudio 2.0 software suite, the High Gloss Black NevoSL is a unique and powerful package that enables custom electronics professionals to differentiate their businesses by providing more innovative, faster home theater control installations and unmatched after-sales service and support to the homeowner.

"We are very excited to offer this visually stunning product to the high end professional custom installation market," says Paul Arling, chairman and chief operating officer of UEI. "Aside from its aesthetic appeal, the High Gloss Black NevoSL further enables custom installers to build and differentiate their business."

NevoSL has garnered numerous industry awards, including Residential Systems' RESI Award for Best Handheld Controller, the Electronic House "Product of the Year," and CEDIA Australia's Best in Show. The Limited Edition High Gloss Black NevoSL can be purchased through AVAD, Positive Marketing AV, and Digital Delivery Group. The sleek new design comes with a matching high gloss black charging cradle.
