Posted on: August 25, 2010 In: Blog
Introduced over 20 years ago, noise cancelling headphones were originally intended exclusively for use by pilots. Since then, the product has been adapted for use by anyone, in basically any noisy atmosphere, including airplanes, trains, buses, and busy office spaces.
Noise cancelling headphones feature ear cushions, designed to create an acoustic seal around your ears when worn, to comfortably reduce high frequency noises. However, low frequency noises are still able to pass through the ear cups.

Even if you don’t expect to purchase your dream audio system right away, pre-wiring your home, during early construction or renovation, covers you for future possibilities. Planning ahead can save you time, money, and improve the overall look of your new system, by ensuring the wiring is properly placed and hidden from sight.

A single HDMI cable can send full uncompressed 1080p video, up to eight channels of uncompressed HD audio, and a CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) connection, for up to 75 feet. CEC is the element that enables remote control functions in your audio/video components.

Setting up a home theatre and surround sound system in a home that wasn’t pre-wired can be difficult. Poking holes in walls or ripping off baseboards in an attempt to conceal wires can be a real hassle. Luckily, there is a way to avoid this common scenario!
The Bose® SL2 wireless sound link is a transmitter/receiver system that allows you to run your rear speakers wirelessly. The transmitter is connected to your Bose® surround sound system. A signal for the two rear speakers is sent, wirelessly, to a receiver at the back of the room, which is wired into the rear speakers.
The SL2 not only simplifies home theatre system installation, it also delivers the same high quality audio as Bose® wired home entertainment systems, and gives you greater flexibility in placement of your rear speakers.
