October 2008 — SIM2, the Italian manufacturer whose striking, high-performance, high-definition projectors are known worldwide for their pristine video images and elegant cabinet designs, is thrilled to announce the visit to its factory of 5-time Academy Award-winning film director, writer and producer Francis Ford Coppola.

Mr. Coppola had previously experienced the Company’s unmatched product quality during a presentation in his Napa Valley studio this past Spring. He took advantage of being in Europe, while filming his latest masterpiece project, to pay a visit to SIM2 headquarters for a private tour of the factory and to pick up the company’s flagship PRO5DL video projector - which the Maestro will use to edit his upcoming and highly-anticipated film “Tetro” - scheduled to be released in Spring 2009.

Mr. Coppola arrived in Pordenone (a small town near Venice) where he was welcomed by SIM2’s executives, the town Mayor, and the Cinema Muto Festival and CinemaZero representatives.  read more »

October 2008 SpeakerCraft, America’s original manufacturer of in-wall speakers is pleased to announce the launch of an ultra-small speaker designed to mimic the look of a miniature can light. The NEAT 3 will almost disappear into the ceiling having a minimal footprint and no exterior bezel.

“Looking at the popularity of small flush-mounted spotlights inspired us to design a loudspeaker to match,” says Jeremy Burkhardt, SpeakerCraft’s outspoken CEO. “We know that homeowners prefer speakers that are less conspicuous and the NEAT 3 is just that.”

Featuring a 3-inch full-range driver, this speaker can be installed in almost any location. It’s diminutive size dramatically increases its application flexibility and should prove to be a popular solution in many installations. Due to the size of the drivers a subwoofer is recommended. Either the SpeakerCraft BassX series or the new in-wall Cinema Subs would be excellent choices.  read more »
