We’re seeing more and more LED video walls pop up in the world of home cinema. However, many of today’s LED walls are adapted from the digital signage industry, not created for home theater specifically. Quantum Media Systems is an exception to the rule with its new Fine Pitch XDR LED Video Wall, designed from the ground up for ultra-high-performance digital home cinema. The XDR lets the audience enjoy a truly high-performance image with the lights on thanks to its extreme brightness (up to 1000nits), providing an expanded High Dynamic Range of deep blacks and bright whites within the same image frame. Beyond its incredible performance, QMS pairs its video wall with an ecosystem that enables integration partners to create a visual experience beyond what is commercially available.
Quantum Media Systems’ XDR LED video wall will debut at CEDIA Expo 2022 in the Arts District #7 Demo Room in the Skywalk to the Omni hotel, adjacent to the convention center. learn more here: https://www.qmsprivatetheater.com/.

Jon Peckman has a strong sales background in the tech industry and deep understanding of integrator’s needs to elevate opportunity and prosperity for Access Networks.
Los Angeles, CA (July 12, 2022) – Access Networks, the premier enterprise-grade networking solutions provider for the modern smart home, continues to deliver exceptional products, services, and support to the technology integration community with the recent appointment of Jon Peckman as Sales Director. In his new role, Peckman will develop and execute new business and sales strategies to drive awareness and adoption of the Access Networks solutions through ongoing education, training, onboarding and support.
“Access Networks has built a solid reputation for not only its exceptional networking components but its dedication to its dealer partners. My goal is to build on this momentum, exposing integrators to the exciting business opportunities enterprise-grade networking brings,” Peckman says. “Today’s bandwidth-hungry households demand networking systems that are exceptionally stable, secure, and robust, and Access Networks is in a prime position to deliver it. We want to show dealers how to align with us, how our solutions keep their clients’ environments better connected, and how to leverage their network offerings with enterprise-grade systems.”
Satisfying consumers’ technological appetites with cutting-edge systems is nothing new to Peckman. As a sales executive at Garmin early in its inception, he witnessed the birth and growth of a new breed of portable navigation technology and company expansion from 300 to 4,000 employees. Later at Wilson Electronics, he established key distribution channels for another up-and-coming technology, cellular amplifiers. “These companies were each a pioneer in their respective industries, and now with Access Networks, I get the chance to work with yet another pioneer, to see the company prosper as the networking market continues to evolve and grow.”
Consumers want and need better connectivity; Peckman aspires to deliver it by educating dealers and end-users on the key performance differences between off-the-shelf kits and professionally installed, customizable, enterprise-grade solutions. “Education, training, and empowering our Partners is all part of our plan to increase sales,” he says. “The Access Networks brand is poised for amazing growth as a critical component of connected environments, and I’m eager and excited to help lead the way.”
Peckman says Access Networks’ passionate IT experts and entrepreneurial spirit inspired him to explore sales opportunities with the company. “I love the energy, the enthusiasm, the knowledge and the level of dedication the entire Access Networks team demonstrates consistently.” It’s this same level of excitement Peckman seeks during his free time. “The garage is my favorite ‘room’ of the house.” It’s here that he puts his hands to work, “wrenching” on cars and motorcycles and taking them for a spin. With a relocation from Kansas City to Phoenix in the next few months, he and his wife plan to put the garage handiwork to good use as they explore their new stomping grounds.

WALL-SMART renders the popular pint-size Lutron Pico keypad a seamless part of any wall surface with innovative wall mount.
BUFFALO, NY (June 29, 2022) WALL-SMART, the leading manufacturer of innovative mounting hardware that enables a wide variety of smart devices to be installed flush with wall and ceiling surfaces recently introduced a custom-designed and engineered solution for Lutron’s popular Pico keypad. Intended for installation during home construction, the design-friendly mount can be recessed into any wall material, including drywall and solid surfaces like concrete, wood, metal, and marble. Once the mount has been installed into the wall, the Lutron Pico keypad inserts easily into it, where it sits perfectly flush with the surface. Without constraints on where the mount can be installed or concerns over its impact on design, the Pico keypad can be placed in areas where it is most convenient to use.
Further camouflaging the keypad, the trim of the WALL-SMART mount can be painted to match the color and texture of the wall surface. Constructed of moisture-resistant MDF and engineered for easy insertion and removal of the keypad, the mount ensures optimal performance and control of lights, automated window treatments, and audio systems. WALL-SMART’s flush mount for Lutron’s Pico keypad rounds out its portfolio of other Lutron wall mounts, including versions for Palladiom, Alisse, and seeTouch keypads.
“Our new wall mount customized for Lutron’s popular Pico keypad offers designers, architects, and home tech integrators yet another option for integrating Lutron control products seamlessly into home environments.

Uniden® Smart Cellular Booster Kits solve cell coverage problems while offering aggressive margins, brand recognition, and sales support for the custom integrator.
CHAMPLAIN, NY (June 27, 2022) — Uniden® cellular by Siyata is making inroads in the custom integration market with cellular booster kits for the home and small business that not only eliminate weak cellular signals for failsafe phone calls and text; fast, uninterrupted streaming; and total peace of mind for the end-user, but also offer attractive benefits that help grow the integrator’s business.

They also have access to the right cellular booster solutions to make their clients happy, which means repeat business and referrals.
“Everyone deserves a great cellular signal to enjoy all the benefits of a cellular device— whether they need it for safety and security on a job site in a small business, to communicate with loved ones, or for streaming entertainment like a movie or videogame in today’s smart homes,” says Ari Schachter, COO of Siyata. “We’re excited to increasingly work with integrators in the custom home technology channel, as well as those who do resimercial and light commercial work. The breadth of our product line means there is a solution to address poor cellular signal in homes and small businesses of various sizes while delivering key benefits to integrators.”

First, the Uniden® outdoor antenna captures the cellular signal from outside of the home or building and sends it into the Uniden® smart cellular booster. Then the booster amplifies the signal and sends it to the server antenna. Finally, the server antenna distributes the new, stronger signal to the troubled area, providing very strong signal for crystal clear phone calls and lightning-fast data speeds.
Uniden’s Home and Small Business line start with the Uniden® U60C Cellular Booster Kit ($397 MSRP), which boosts up to 20 cellular devices and is ideal for smaller homes and offices up to 1,500 square feet.

Music industry TV personality Allison Hagendorf knows great sound when she hears it, choosing Leon’s Terra line of outdoor speakers for her and husband Brian Jaffe’s new SoCal abode’s outdoor spaces.
[Ann Arbor, MI] – June 20, 2022 – Music is everything to television personality and music journalist Allison Hagendorf, and it’s easy to see why. Hagendorf’s love of music and renowned ear for rock has led to a career of dream music industry jobs. From VJing on MTV to scouting talent for Sony and Columbia to acting as Spotify’s “Head of Rock,” Hagendorf knows great sound. When it came to needing her own audio system in her new Southern California home’s outdoor spaces, it was important she found speakers that would accurately represent her music. Allison’s husband Brian Jaffe, also in the industry as a music manager, has high expectations for music reproduction, as well. They turned to Leon Speakers for audio that would allow them to hear the music as close to the original recording as possible. 
“YUNGBLUD came over to our house, excited to play his new music,” says Hagendorf. “At the time we had just moved into the house, and we were listening to his music on an unacceptable speaker … I was devastated while he was playing his music. He didn’t care, but to me, it was about the integrity of hearing the music as it should be heard and respecting the work he put into it.”
Hagendorf was looking to use the outdoor area not just as a relaxing oasis, but also as a place to host company and allow industry friends and coworkers to share their music in a way that would honor their talent. It was important for her that the high-end audio blend naturally with the surroundings and withstand environmental wear and tear. Leon’s Terra line of customizable and durable outdoor audio was the perfect match.
Working with Leon and local integrator Futronix AV, Hagendorf and Jaffe divided their backyard into four distinct zones of audio: the front patio, back patio, outdoor kitchen, and pool. Various models of Leon’s Terra speakers provided the ideal blend of high-fidelity sound, outdoor durability, and subtle, design-focused style throughout each area.
In the front patio, Terra Boundary speakers, finished in a bright white to match the furniture and surrounding structure, are tucked discreetly into the eaves of the patio roof to deliver an immersive audio experience. The speakers’ cast-frame AC Series woofers and inverted titanium dome fluid-cooled tweeter provide powerful bass and high, clear tones for anyone dining or enjoying the shade on a hot California day.
Recessed into the wall of the back patio is the “sonic centerpiece” of the backyard: a custom-designed Leon Horizon soundbar built with marine-grade outdoor drivers and dimensions matching Hagendorf’s 75-inch Samsung outdoor television. More Boundary speakers round out the system to create a next-level surround-sound environment.
For the softscape surrounding the pool and outdoor kitchen, Hagendorf chose Leon’s Terra LuminSound outdoor speakers for their combination of subtle, modern style and full-range acoustics. At night, the speakers’ 360° LED lighting also creates a diffused glow throughout the area. Installed alongside the LuminSounds, the Terra Outdoor Speaker and partially buried Terra Subwoofer create the perfect far-reaching, wide-range acoustic experience for the couple and their guests as they move about the area.
The entire Terra line is IP67-rated against water and dust, and features marine-grade drivers in precision-fit, waterproof cabinets, meaning Hagendorf’s sound system will be fully protected from the elements in even the harshest weather.
“Our experience with everyone [at Leon] was just so unique and so wonderful. These are real music people … we turned our backyard into the best listening experience possible,” adds Hagendorf.
