VARIETYDon’t play what’s there – play what’s not there. Miles Davis

Fredrikstad, Norway, 7 May 2008 - Lifting

the wraps off the all-new range of high-end

home cinema video projectors, the avielo

series comprises five different models. They

are introduced by Norwegian projector

manufacturer, projectiondesign, and use

Texas Instruments DLP® technology for

the ultimate in image quality and resolu-

tion. The projectors in the avielo series are

superbly styled and packaged, continuing

projectiondesign’s tradition for top-level

industrial design.

“Customer expectations in the high-end

home cinema segment are sharper than

ever,” comments Anders Løkke, Internation-

al Marketing & Communications Manager.

“The HD revolution has changed the way

consumers perceive TV and movie content,

and people will no longer settle for second

best.”

“At the same time, standards of interior

design are also rising very fast. It is not

enough merely to offer the very latest tech-

nology – you have to package it in a way

that suits the aesthetics of the living space,

and complements the end customer’s life-

style.”

The first three models to be released

are the avielo prisma, spectra, and optix.

All models were first shown at High End

in Munich, Germany during April and they

are based on the philosophy of providing

the best possible image quality and user

experience at their respective price levels.

All feature projectiondesign’s exclusive

RealColor colour management suite, Texas

Instruments DLP technology, full 10-bit

video processing, and proprietary designed

custom optics. Each projector is hand-built

and uniquely characterised and calibrated.

Boston, MA – When Tivoli Audio CEO Tom

DeVesto and his team of engineers set out

to create the next generation of home audio,

they began with a simple question: What

would the ideal radio do? The new Tivoli

Audio NetWorks radio is the answer to that

question. Taking advantage of broadcasting

over the Internet, NetWorks delivers crystal-

clear reception of any radio station, near or

far, with no need for a computer. NetWorks

allows listeners to tune in to Italian Opera

from Milan, rock music from New York

City, or any specialty, niche radio station

from any location in the world in its native

language, and in real time. It also allows

access to music stored on PCs from any

room in the house through a wireless or

Ethernet connection. NetWorks features

Tivoli Audio-quality sound as a stand-alone

unit, but can be expanded with a stereo

speaker, CD player, or subwoofer. And the

NetWorks radio builds upon Tivoli Audio’s

reputation as a design leader, offering

a choice of furniture-quality hardwood

cabinets. The result is an elegantly simple,

beautifully designed, yet technologically-

advanced NetWorks that points to the

future of home audio entertainment.

“It has been our goal to continually bring

the most innovative radios to market with

the quality and high performance that our

customers have come to expect from Tivoli

Audio,” says Tivoli Audio Chairman and

CEO Tom DeVesto. “The greatest challenge

in designing the NetWorks Global radio

was in making it simple to use. It combines

function and design with the ability to deliver

the world of radio broadcasts to home radio

listeners, offering audio networking that

sounds as good as it looks.”

Accessing AM and FM stations via a

Wi-Fi or Ethernet broadband connection,

NetWorks connects to thousands of free

radio stations worldwide. It easily searches

for stations by country, genre, or a station’s

call letters. It is also one of the first audio

products to be user-upgradeable, so your

advanced radio can keep pace with rapidly

changing technology. NetWorks comes

with five pre-sets, but through its exclusive

Global Portal can add an unlimited number

of Internet stations that are stored to

a “Favorites” list. These would include

GENEVA: Simplicity. Re-EngineerediPod Generation Transforms Home DesignStunningly-finished cabinet delivers studio

quality sound in one simple piece

With the release of the Geneva™ Sound

System the iPod Generation transforms HiFi

and home décor with a polished wooden

box containing the graceful power of digital

audio as used by Grammy artists and Oscar

winning professionals.

Slip an iPod into the piano-lacquered

wood cabinet. Then grip the remote control

and be prepare to be blown back as Ge-

neva™ Sound System produces up to 600

watts of astonishing stereo sound. It fills

the home with a sonic clarity found only in

the mixing rooms of recording studios.

The Geneva™ Sound System plays iPod

brilliantly and has a built in slot-loading CD

and a FM radio with digital tuner presets. It

also connects to all regular audio sources

like other MP3 players, vinyl, TV or any oth-

er audio with line-out.

It’s available in three colors: White, Black

& Geneva Red. It comes in three sizes, M, L

& XL.

The M is a 8 inch solid cabinet. The L is a

12 inch solid cabinet with subtle low ends

that rise up to 100 watts of high-end digital

stereo. The XL is 24 inches of pure visual

style, but it’s also a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

It embraces the listener at low volumes or

it can power a party by unleashing it’s full

600 watts of stereo. Unlike plastic desktop

peripherals for the iPod; Geneva Sound for

iPod delivers mind-blowing sound more ac-

curately than high end separates or multi-

speaker hi-fi systems.

“The iPod generation wants music at

home to be as simple, powerful, elegant as

the iPod,” says Jan-Erik Lundberg, founder

of Geneva Lab ( www.genevalab.com ). “

As the iPod puts all your music into one el-

egant little device, we transform stereo into

a single unit that fit’s into a contemporary

home by cutting the clutter of components,

speakers and cables. On the outside it’s

high-end home furniture; while on the in-

side it’s the latest all-digital electronics. It

for the person who likes results without the

fuss.”
