SANUS to Debut Latest AV Innovations for the Residential Electronic Systems Industry at CEDIA 2011

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — SANUS, the leading global brand of
audio/video mounts, furnishings and consumer electronics accessories, will be
debuting an assortment of its innovative new AV accessory products at this
year’s CEDIA EXPO, the leading tradeshow in the residential electronic systems
industry.

AV Racks and Accessories

Appearing in SANUS booth #4154 at the Indianapolis show from September 8-10 will
be the highly anticipated SANUS EcoSystem(TM), a revolutionary multi-volt power
supply and a suite of AV rack accessories designed to create a seamless
interaction between low-voltage and household line voltage. When used together,
the SANUS EcoSystem will save installers time, space, and easily provide an
aesthetically perfect AV rack.

The EcoSystem includes a multi-volt power supply, which consists of power
switches, USB ports and 12 outlets with both 12V and 5V options. The accessory
also includes a thermostat kit that actively monitors temperature inside the
rack. Should the temperature inside the rack reach 85 degrees, the thermostat
automatically activates fans, cooling the rack to a maximum of 75 degrees. Other
features that make up the SANUS EcoSystem include LED task and work lights,
multiple fan options, a thermometer and wire. The SANUS EcoSystem is expected to
be available for purchase in November 2011.

Says Steve Durkee, President for SANUS products, “The SANUS EcoSystem is a
revolutionary product offering that is designed to provide a cleaner,
aesthetically pleasing installation and free up valuable space inside a rack by
consolidating low voltage power into a single device.” Durkee continues, “We are
very excited to introduce it at CEDIA.”

Another main attraction at the show will be SANUS’ newly redesigned Component
100 Series AV racks. Offered in various sizes including a 15U model (CFR2115),
27U model (CFR2127), 36U model, (CFR2136), and a 44U model, (CFR2144), the new
100 Series racks feature removable side and back panels for easier access to
components. A 3U panel located at the back of the racks can be placed on top or
bottom of the rack’s rear door for customization in wiring. Vented shelves with
backstops, and cooling shelves at the top and bottom of each rack ensure proper
airflow for AV equipment. New add-on accessories are now available, including
vented blanking panels and shelves, ganging kit, tie bars, solid steel blanking
panels and power strips. The Component 100 Series racks are expected to be
shipping before the end of 2011.

TV Wall Mounts and On-Wall Shelving

SANUS will be debuting three new Super Slim wall mounts for flat-panel TVs.
SANUS’ Super Slim mount category offers brackets that allow TVs to be mounted as
close to the wall as possible, accentuating the thin appearance of flat-panel
screens. The new VLF320 and VMF322 mounts allow TV placement incredibly close to
the wall while also offering full-motion capabilities, a benefit other
ultra-thin mounts on the market don’t offer. The VLF320 offers 20 inches of
extension for TVs 37″ – 65″. The VMF322 offers 22 inches of extension for TVs
26″ – 47″. Both models feature an integrated cable management system that hides
all wiring and cabling within the extension arm. With integrated tilting
capabilities, the VLF320 and VMF322 can be tilted with the touch of a finger,
allowing for effortless adjustment of the TV’s viewing angle. Post-install
leveling adjustments ensure TVs are perfectly positioned after hanging. The
VLF320 includes decorative covers that conceal mounting hardware for a finished
look. Both mounts will be available in early 2012.

The VSL12 is a Super Slim low-profile mount that highlights the sleek look of
LCD and LED TVs by placing them only .62″ from the wall. Compatible with 13″ -
26″ TVs, the VSL12 features a two-piece design for quick and easy installation
and a click-lock feature for added safety. The VSL12 will be shipping in late
September.

Another exciting new product from SANUS, the VMA401 on-wall shelf is designed to
hold components up to 15 lbs. The VMA401′s slim profile (1.38″) works well with
mounted ultra-thin TVs because the shelf can be mounted directly below the TV
for a seamless look. The VMA401 features integrated cable management for hiding
and organizes cables. For those looking for a two or three shelf solution,
multiple VMA401 units can be combined to provide a one-piece look. The product
will be available before the end of 2011.

AV Furniture

At CEDIA EXPO, SANUS is excited to offer a first look at several new offerings
from its Basic Series furniture line. Expertly crafted for high performance and
value, all of the new Basic Series furniture can be assembled quickly without
tools. New additions to the line include the BFAV546 with a modern two-tone
walnut finish and dual pullout media drawers for storage. Another new model, the
BFV157 features a heavy-gauge steel construction and open design to maximize
airflow, while the new BFV348 provides a classic look and feel with a distressed
black finish. The BVF348 is expected to be shipping in late 2011, while the
BFAV546 and the BFV157 will be available in early 2012.

HDMI Cables

Several consumer electronics accessories will also be debuting in the SANUS
booth during CEDIA 2011. Among them include new Super Slim HDMI cables models
ELM4303, ELM4306, and ELM4308. The cables feature an ultra-flexible design
making them perfect for connections behind ultra-thin TVs, which often offer
little clearance and can make connection difficult. All three models are
Ethernet enabled and can handle 1080p video resolution and beyond for future
generation displays. All models will be shipping in September.

iPhone App

SANUS will also introduce the iPhone version of its popular SANUS Install Tool
Kit(TM) app at CEDIA 2011. Previously only available on the iPad, the SANUS
Install Tool Kit(TM) features SANUS’ industry leading MountFinder(TM) and
HeightFinder(TM) tools, which makes it easier than ever to find compatible
mounts for any TV and get help with installation. Live demos of the SANUS
Install Tool Kit(TM) iPhone and iPad apps will be available at the SANUS booth
during the show.
