Buhl vs. 3M

We just finished a series of tests comparing two well known purveyors of tried and true AV technology: Buhl overhead projectors and 3M overhead projectors.

As an industry pioneer, 3M has been responsible for many of the past advances in AV projector technology. In recent years, Buhl has become a major innovator with features like 360 degree rotating heads, double fresnel lenses, rack & pinion focusing, ambidextrous operation, auto lamp changing, and Hi-Lo switching.

Read all about it in our posted article.

Our delegate mics feature:

• elegant, state of the art design
• excellent sound quality
• built-in loud speakers
• push-to-talk controls on each mic
• microphone on light indicator
• advanced software control

We are proud to add Hamilton Electronics to our extensive line of School & Classroom A/V.

Hamilton Electronics is a U.S. based manufacturer of high quality, easy-to-use portable public address systems; podiums and lecterns with integrated microphone systems; digital duplication systems; presentation furniture; megaphones and a variety of essential classroom AV equipment.

Founded in 1933, Hamilton Electronics was a division of Weldotron (a shrink wrap products pioneer!) until a group of employees and investors (headed by current company President Sheldon Goldstein) organized a buy out. Under Mr. Goldstein's guidance Hamilton and its sister companies have seen revenues grow from $3 million to $30 million in just 10 years.

Hamilton designs A/V equipment with both educators and students in mind. Hamilton products are easy to use, intuitive and built to last. Recent additions include childhood digital photography products, which enhance and enliven the classroom learning experience, compact and portable PA systems with built-in wireless microphones and a unique CD/DVD boombox.

We recently spoke with Sheldon Goldstein about his company's philosophy and what follows are a few excerpted comments.

"We try to keep consumer costs down across the board. For example, everybody realizes you don't need to spend $150 to hook up your VCR to a DVD recorder, and we take that idea seriously in all our product lines. And the internet represents a means of keeping those costs down as well. We see the future of the internet because we've learned how immediate the response is - the very next day you can make adjustments. That's a huge improvement over past methods..."

We couldn't agree more.

Look over this list and you'll get an idea of why we are so excited by this new opportunity at AudioLink:

• The Hamilton Boombox DVD/TV package includes a 7 inch LCD color monitor with remote control along and a CD/DVD player boom box.
• The new Hamilton Learning Center includes a CD/Cassette/AM-FM boom box, a six-station stereo jack box with individual volume controls, six HA-5 headphones and a foam padded carry box with a free combination lock included for personalized privacy.
• The Hamilton EZ CRATE is a large capacity utility cart which conveniently folds flat for easy storage. It's made of lightweight durable plastic, has two non marring casters, and an extendable easy grip aluminum handle. Just right for the presentation pro on the go!
• To celebrate the launch of this line we are offering great specials and invite you to call for volume discounts. And please remember that AudioLink now accepts Purchase Orders from qualified schools and educational institutions.

Do you have pro-audio questions? AudioMan's got answers!

As far as megaphones go, the SPL rating refers to the effective volume and range of a particular model. Therefore, the higher the SPL rating, the louder the volume and consequently the greater the coverage area.

AudioLink offers quite a diverse list of megaphones - and don't forget - we take Purchase Orders!

Hope this helps!

The Explorer Pro offers the latest in Anchor Audio sound system technology. It features a Class D amplifier, "voice over" music function, AC/DC operation, 110/220V power supply and an option for dual UHF wireless receivers. This unit is even powerful enough to operate a companion speaker in AC or DC mode. No wonder it has become a classroom and boardroom favorite!

Anchor Audio offers great, full-range sound, that's why the Explorer Pro easily glides from strong lows to the highest peaks. And it's simple to set up and operate. A heavy-duty amp and two-way speaker system (a 6 1/2-inch woofer coupled with a high output horn tweeter) faithfully deliver every bit of voice or music signal you can. You can even use it for high-fidelity playback for crowds of up to 300 outdoors, and even larger groups indoors. A variety of inputs and a battery-powered model that runs up to 6 hours on a charge make the Explorer Pro capable of handling an assortment of functions. And since it weighs only 23 pounds, transport is a breeze.
