Niles’ whole-house audio system extends its reach to world-wide proportions with new international modules, receivers and user interfaces
MIAMI, FLORIDA — March 22, 2007 — Niles Audio Corporation, The First Name in Custom Installation, announced today that the company is enhancing and adapting its award-winning IntelliControl ICS whole-house audio system to be compatible with the international market. Five new components have been created to make this possible, including the GXR2 EX Modular Multi-Zone Receiver, which is designed to work with an international power supply of 230 Volts/50 HZ ; a new iRemote family of products designed with international radio frequency levels in mind: the iRemote EX, the RBX-1, the iRemote base which can also be used alone as a repeater station for large installs and RHS-1, the iRemote handset and the TM-AM/FM EX source card module, designed to accommodate international radio frequency signals.
Since its introduction in America, international demand has been high for IntelliControl ICS — which can accommodate up to six sources, distribute audio in up to 30 zones and be programmed for customer use in less than 10 minutes. With its international availability, IntelliControl ICS is now poised to dominate on a global scale in the home automation arena.
“IntelliControl ICS has been a huge success for Niles in the United States,” said Frank Sterns, president of Niles Audio Corporation. “Custom installers and dealers from around the world have been asking us to make this award-winning system available on the international market, and we are thrilled to now offer it for them,” Sterns added.
IntelliControl ICS accommodates all of today’s popular sources, delivering detailed information to and from its keypads, touchscreens and wireless remote controls. Several of the American IntelliControl ICS products can be used with the international version of IntelliControl ICS, including the RS-232G Bi-directional Gateway, which seamlessly integrates subsystems such as Lutron lighting controls and, Escient and ReQuest music servers; the IM-Audio card for incorporating legacy audio sources such as CD players; the IM-iPod source card for integrating iPod media; and the Contact, Display and Single user interfaces.
The entire IntelliControl ICS product suite represents a technology platform to accommodate customers today and into the future. In all, the system has won six of the industry’s most coveted awards and accolades, including a Sound & Vision Editor’s Choice Award, an Electronic House 2006 Product of the Year Award, a Residential Systems RESI Award for Best Combined Product Family, a Custom Retailer Exc!te Award for Most Exciting Distributed Audio System, a CE Pro CHIP “Innovator of the Year” Award and a CES Innovations Honor — continuing Niles’ legacy of award-winning design, strong dealer relations and commitment to excellence. Shipping now, the new international version of IntelliControl ICS will be sold at select, factory-authorized Niles IntelliControl ICS dealers across the globe.
