Sony, Quantum Media Systems, and Indy Audio Labs Rely on Torus Power’s RM Series and AVR Series to deliver clean, isolated power to their high-end AV demos.
TORONTO, ON, CANADA (August 20, 2024) For almost two decades, Torus Power Inc. has emphasized to the systems integration industry the importance of clean, isolated power to the performance of high-end residential AV systems. At CEDIA Expo 2024, attendees can experience firsthand the difference Torus Power’s isolation power transformers make across several different exhibits.
Torus Power CEDIA Expo 2024
- Convention Center Lobby, street entrance (with Sony)
- Booth #4121 (with Quantum Media Systems)
- Room #207 (with Quantum Media Systems)
- Sound Room #9 (with Indy Audio Labs)
Large, high-end home theater installations and high-performance audio systems draw a substantial amount of electrical power. When that power is unstable, image and audio quality can suffer, leaving systems integrators frustrated and the customers dissatisfied. To prevent these inherent electrical-related issues from degrading AV performance, Sony, Quantum Media Systems, and Indy Audio Labs are relying on Torus Power isolation power transformers to prevent electrical transients, surges, and voltage irregularities from impacting their AV demos and ensuring visitors leave thoroughly impressed with the exceptional quality and reliability of their systems.
“We are honored to be chosen by so many legendary CI companies at this year’s CEDIA Expo to ensure the success of their demos,” says Kevin Main, Torus Power president at COO. “The importance of clean, regulated power for the optimal performance of AV systems is clearly gaining traction within the systems integration community. Our solutions are making a significant impact on the CEDIA Expo show floor, and these benefits translate directly to real-world projects, enhancing performance and reliability across the board.”
Just inside the Denver Convention Center, CEDIA Expo attendees can get an initial demo of Torus Power’s flagship RM 20 isolation power transformer. Located in the lobby at street level, Sony integrates the RM 20 isolation power transformer to optimize the audio fidelity and video clarity of its premium ES (Elevated Standard) line of AV components. The request for Torus Power’s flagship isolation power transformer came after a group of Sony manufacturer reps experienced improved audio/video quality at a dealer event in Chicago earlier this summer.
The RM Series was also the choice of Quantum Media Systems for its demonstration of a 20-foot 4K DCI-compliant video wall. In Room #207 two RM-100 BAL units from Torus Power deliver clean, isolated power to Quantum’s multi-award-winning XDR Pro Cinema Video to prevent voltage irregularities and electrical distortion from degrading the performance of the demo.
To ensure the audio quality of its two-channel and surround-sound demonstrations are as crisp, clear and realistic as possible, Indy Audio Labs called on Torus Power to provide an AVR2 Elite 90 BAL unit. This problem-solving product decouples and electrically isolates the audio components from the incoming power source to eliminate transients. By dramatically lowering the noise floor while adding better dynamics, imaging, and bass, the AVR2 Elite 90 BAL helps create a truly immersive audio experience.
For a closer look at Torus Power’s line of power isolation transformers, CEDIA Expo 2024 attendees can visit Booth #4121. Here, wall- and rack-mounted solutions will be displayed, along with a new line of Torus Power Armada series panel-mounted whole-house surge protectors.
