avassets new products LCD PROJECTOR LONG-RANGE LOUDSPEAKERS Meyer Sound has announced the newest addition to its series of long-range loudspeakers. The SB-3F soundfield synthesis loudspeaker is designed for projecting mid- and high-frequency energy over distances up to 1km. Assuring intelligibility at long distances from the main point-source loudspeaker system is one of the most frequent issues in large-scale sound reinforcement, especially in the 2 kHz to 9 kHz frequency range. Employing a total of 448 high-powered, 1-inch neodymium transducers purpose-built to create a highly directional wavefront, the SB-3F is used for overcoming high-frequency loss over long distances. U.S. list price for the SB-3F is $21,950. Visit www.meyersound.com. The new Sony VPL-FX41 projector is an XGA unit that produces 5,200 lumens and completes a product line-up that also includes the VPL-FX40 and VPL-FE40 models. The VPL-FE40 offers SXGA+ resolution, while the VPLFX41 and VPL-FX40 offer native XGA resolution for high image quality. The projectors use 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction Circuitry for accurate gamma correction, resulting in uniform image color and brightness across the entire screen-viewing surface. The series is available at $6,270 for the VPL-FX41, $4,399 for the VPL-FX41L, $6,000 for the VPL-FE40, $5,730 for the VPL-FE40L, $4,670 for the VPL-FX40, and $4,400 for the VPLFX40L.
