In 1997 Icon Enterprises International Inc, A Leading Manufacturer of high quality components for many OEM, and name brand companies, started IconTV. From the beginning IconTV had the idea that a quality engineered LCD monitor system could change the 12Volt Industry. Add dedication, experience, hard work and by 1998 IconTV had the first LCD model ready for worldwide distribution. This Monitor was the perfect mix for stand-alone and headrest applications. Till this day almost a million of these moni-tors have been sold worldwide. Since the 1st monitor in 1997, IconTV has grown to become a leading worldwide automotive multimedia company. Currently Icon offers over 140 Multimedia products, ranging from Super High Resolution Monitors, to professional quality DVD Players. Since 2001 IconTV was rated #1 in a leading trade publica-tion more times than any other company in Multimedia products, voted by installers nationwide. In 2001 IconTV was accepted into the Consumer Electronics Association, and the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association. In 2002 Icon-TV won the Prestigious Innovations Award. Winner of 2 Grand Prix Awards “Monitors” Rated #1 By Dealers Nationwide. (Street Beat) Best Show Vehicle of the year. And a proud member of CEA, MERA and SEMA. In 2003 Icon-TV was a 2 time Winner of the Prestigious Innovations Award and a 2 time Winner of the Grand Prix Award. In 2003 Icon-TV became, and still is in 2008, “the most award winning Automotive Video Company in the World!” To this day Icon is the only company called “The Best” by Car Audio & Electronics, which has been the “automotive electronics” most trusted publication for over 20 years. In 2007, not only is ICON still the worlds most award winning A/V company, but we are the only company to be officially awarded "the BEST in Mobile Video" by the Consumer Electronics Association during this years CES show in Las Vegas. Since its inception in 1997 ICON has graced the pages of thousands of national & international magazines in addition to nationally televised networks such as ABC, FOX, ESPN, SPIKE, Speed-vision, The Discov-ery Channel, and many more. In shows such as "Extreme 4x4", “The Other Half”, “The Wayne Brady Show”, “NOPI”, “Car and Driver” etc... and has sponsored award shows such as “The DVD Awards” on Fox hosted by Jenny Mc-Carthy, and many other nationally televised shows. This “cool factor” is one of the many reasons why movie stars, TV stars and professional athletes choose only ICON for their cars. ICON currently spends over $500,000 worth of development a year. Since 2000 we have applied for sever-al patents and will continue to innovate to better serve our

growing high-end customer base worldwide. During the next year many of these innovations will come to

market. SVC-X offers incredible system integration and custom flexibil-

ity to re-stylers and cus-tom install-

ers world wide, while our ICON-PC has taken the world of in-car computing and performance by storm, and our U-NAV systems are the smallest and smartest designed GPS units for the automobile available today. ICON is currently building a 500,000 square foot manufactur-ing and assembly facility in upstate NY. By 2009 ICON will manufacture more mobile multimedia products in the US than any other. IconTV is devoted to the enduser and dealer alike, with a knowledgeable tech line ready to serve. Today IconTV is the high-end choice of profession-als and beginners alike. No wonder Icon is “The most award winning Automotive Video Company in the World”. The Story however does not end there. Icon Enterprises International owns not only the world's best and Most Award winning A/V company, but we are proud to also own the worlds BEST Car Audio Manufacturer. This is a Car Audio company whose Super-Fi electrostatics have made a serious impact in the world of high-end mobile sound ever since the early 1990s. Critical Mass was formed by one of Car Audio's first innovators and most influential people in our industry who actually started the world's first Car Audio and enhancement school back in the late 1980s. From this school Critical MASS was started in Orlando, FL, in 1990. We have been leading the way to max per-formance hi-fi on the road with our $259,000 CES 5.1 one of a kind ESL system. Not only does Critical MASS make the most expensive car audio system in the world, but this system is so good, that earlier this year (July 2006) Car Audio Magazine tested the least expensive part of our (CES5.1) ESL system the UL12 (MSRP $1999.00) and called it "the Perfect Sub", and "the BEST" and added that it was so good that he would sell a few things, to own one because it's worth every dollar! In addition the Critical MASS UL12 was rated #1 over all other Subwoofers tested including woofers made by companies such as JL Audio, Image Dynamics, Alpine, Xtant, Kicker, Arc Audio, MB Quart, Digital Designs, Cerwin-Vega, Orion, Phoenix Gold and Earthquake (October 2006 Issue Car Audio and Electron-ics). Imagine how good the rest of the system must sound if the least expensive part of it is the world's BEST subwoofer? Many years ago when we acquired Critical MASS we did it for the love and passion to be the very best in Car Audio just as we are in Video. We are proud to say we have undoubtedly accomplished this and many other challenging goals. Over the next 2 years will con-tinue to wow the world with more than 50 new high tech innovations in the world of high tech A/V, from our elite team of engineers and design-ers at MASS Engineer-ing (a division of Icon Enterprises International

Inc.)

Critical MASS CES5.1True Surround Sound Electrostatic

Hybrid Speaker system. MSRP $259,000.00 (Installed by Critical MASS Elite Team)

System consists of 4 separate front sound stages in the same vehicle, made of a total of 12 electrostats. Each front sound stage has 1 Left ch 1 Center ch and 1 Right ch directly in front of each listener. With conventional systems this would not work because the left channel of the passenger side would mix with the drivers side right channel and create a mono signal and visa versa, instead of a true stereo signal. Due to our newly developed patent pending Electrostat materials and manufacturing methods we have been able to miniaturize the size of an electrostatic transducer to just under 2" high and 3" wide, and focus all of the audio produced by these ultra exotic and sonically perfect 24 Karat gold plated Electrostats directly in front of each listener without interfering with each other while creating a sonically perfect surround sound experience . Each system ordered will be custom designed for the specific sound signature of each car and will be inspected and supervised each step of the way in the 2-3 month process directly by Mr. Wayde Alfarone (head engineer and founder of Critical MASS) and Mr. Claudio Laraia (CEO and Chairman of Icon Enterprises International "the makers of both Icon-TV and Critical MASS"). In addition 1 more renowned audio engineer and 2 master installers will devote their time and best work for up to 6 months per vehicle. With a maximum installation capability of 4 systems per year Critical MASS is not expecting to make any significant profit on these ultra exclusive and ultra expensive systems, but rather has made a serious commitment to the car audio industry and audiophiles alike, which undoubtedly makes Criti-cal MASS the absolute BEST Car Audio manufac-turer and one of the few and last remaining true high-end Audio brands left today. When it comes to audio no one does it better. The system is by far the best sounding audio system, surround sound or otherwise, ever installed in any vehicle! As the Editor of Car Audio Magazine said "The Best Car Audio System I have Ever Heard” Don't believe it? Go to www.CriticalMASSaudio.com and read the November 2006 Test Review of the Critical MASS CES5.1 Super-Fi Surround Sound system. As car audio says we are "the 5.1 Reference system". No other sound system much less Surround Sound system can touch it. When it comes to Sound reproduction and Imaging we are second to none. For the few lucky Elite people in this world that can afford it, keep this in mind. Critical MASS is lucky enough to employ the only 3 people in the world that have the knowledge, experience and technol-ogy to make this system happen, and after 10 of these systems are installed they will never be made again. There will only be 10 of these Ultra High-End Super-Fi systems made (EVER). After the first 10 systems are made there will be no more raw ma-terials/components and these systems will belong to Automobile and Audiophile History! Holding the eternal spot as the worlds Most Expensive and Best Sounding Car Audio System.

CAR AUDIO & ELECTRONICS “It’s not just hi-fi. It’s Super-fi!" “The CES5.1 ESL system performed with stunning power. It had an incredibly deep soundstage, with lightning fast dynamics and ex-traordinary precision that was always true to the source. All four seating positions had the same amazing sound quality with perfect imaging.” “This is the first time in car audio history that everyone in a car was able enjoy their own independent front stage with the same imaging and clarity.” “With a luxurious price tag of $259,000 for the system alone, you certainly can expect it to be nothing short of spectacular.” “CREATED BY AUDIOPHILES WITH ANEXTRAORDINARY PASSION FOR HIGH-FIDELITY” “The system was truly amazing.” “The sound stage was wide with a distinct center image, crisp but natural highs with openness and depth only heard from ESLs”

ULTRA-PERFORMANCE LIGHTWEIGHT SUBWOOFER DESIGN:This driver is the first Ultra-Performance Subwoofer to be made with the automotive performance enthusiast in mind. At only 18 lbs, this subwoofer handles up-to 3 times more power, has a considerably higher linear and maximum excur-sion, and audibly lower distortion, while weighing as much as 66% less than other Ultra-Performance Subwoofer (woof-ers with an excursion capability of greater than 2.5”). These subwoofers made by other companies can weigh as much as 55 lbs. On the other hand, the Critical MASS Ultra-Perfor-mance Lightweight Subwoofer will not only play louder and handle more power, but it will also play in a smaller box, and therefore, can save you as much as 100 lbs from subwoofer system weight when combined with the reduced weight of a smaller enclosure (based on two 12” subs). A 100 lbs re-duction in your system weight, translates to accelerations gains resulting in up to 1/10th of a second off your 0-60 mph times, or as much as 1 car length faster. So the next time you plan to invest $1000 on an exhaust system, keep in mind that you may have already lost your expected performance gains, unless you are using Critical MASS UL-Series subwoof-ers and speakers.

MMAG TECHNOLOGY:Allows for much greater linear excursion and power han-dling than conventional drivers. This Ultra-Performance Subwoofer utilizes the Dual Gap configuration of the patent-ed MMAG motor technology, which results in up to 2.5 times more X-max than conventional motor designs. Huge, radial slot vented, NEO motor structure. Utilizing high temp, high grade Neodymium-Iron-Born magnets, which generate up-to 10 times more magnetic energy than con-ventional ceramic magnets of equivalent size. The radial slot vents keep the motor running cool, enabling much greater power handling capability than conventional Neo designs.

OSD TECHNOLOGY:Up to 25% more air movement do to Oversized Sd technol-ogy as compared to other drivers with comparable excur-sion capability. Combined with the X-max improvements of the Dual Gap geometry, this subwoofer delivers over 200% more linear air movement (more Bass) than conventional

subwoofers with the same size voice coil.

HEAT-SINK BASKET TECHNOLOGY:Utilizing a unique and efficient way of transferring heat, from the motor, to the basket body, and then to the bas-ket mounting flange. This Ultra-Performance Subwoofer actually transfers the heat from inside the Box to the outside world by utilizing its heat-sink fins on the face of the woofer’s mounting flange. Not only does this tech-nology allow for increased short-term power handling, but also for greater power handling over long periods of time (many more hours than conventional designs).

CARBON FIBER SANDWICH CONE:This cone is one of the only cones that will with-stand 5000 Watts of peak music power. The Lightweight Carbon Fiber Sandwich Cone increases rigidity, and therefore efficiency, which ultimately means more, undistorted, car-shaking bass.

8” Thin & Lightweight Midbass Driver

Absolutely the finest dynamic Component speaker systems available today. Keeping in the Performance Series tradition these Drivers are made of the finest rigid lightweight composite materials available today. Not only are these Drivers 40-65% lighter than most others, but also are up to 70% thinner than most, and handle up to 5 times their power. Unlike other so called Hi-End Components with cheap 1” Voice Coils, CRITI-CAL MASS Pro Components all have the best 2” Voice Coils available today. This gives our component sys-tems an enormous power-handling boost, not to men-tion greater linear cone control hence truer sound re-production. Keeping overall performance in mind with 2 ohm impedance, these CRITICAL MASS Component systems will also make the best of your multi channel amp with up to twice the amplifier power output with-out adding additional speakers to your doors.Why use 4Ω Components when your amplifier makes up to twice the power at 2 ohms? Free up that power, with any of our 2 ohm Performance Series Drivers. All Performance Series speakers have High-Tolerance Built Rubber Surround and High Qual-ity Woven Kevlar / Carbon Fiber Cones for decades of Audiophile sound reproduction and greater reliability. If all that doesn't convince you that this is the finest Component System ever, their faithful sound reproduc-tion will.

I re-ally can't express how happy we are with this set - and every other Critical MASS product we've had the pleasure of listening to!"

High-Performance Subwoofer Design:This Series of Subwoofers are the first High-Performance Subwoofers Designed by Critical MASS to be made with the automotive performance enthusiast on a budget, in mind. Make no mistake, this is by no means an in-expensive woofer, but compared to our Perfomance or UL series Subwoofers that retail for as much as $1,999 each, this series is definitely affordable. In the past we have always focused on the absolute highest performance using the absolute highest quality parts regardless of cost (Simply the Best) but this time we have combined all the best parts that make sense to bring you the absolute most Bang for your hard earned buck. At about 5 lbs, this subwoofer can handle more than 2 times the power, has a considerably higher linear and maximum excursion, and has lower distortion, while weighing as much as 20% less than other Subwoofers costing twice as much. While other companies focus on looks mostly, we at Critical MASS decided to focus on Power, Excursion, Durability, and Lightweight. Therefore this Critical MASS High-Performance Subwoofer will not only play louder and handle more power, which together allows this woofer to also play in a smaller box, which saves you as much as 30 lbs from the subwoofer system weight, when combined with the reduced weight of a smaller enclosure (based on two 12” subs). The End re-sult is a combination of Power to weight to Price ratio that is unbeatable in the industry. In other words the absolute most performance for your money.

Heat Transfer Technology:Our unique technology allows for much greater Long-term power handling than other Subwoofers with voice coils that are much larger while retaining the efficiency of a 2” Voice Coil. This High-Performance Subwoofer utilizes a High-Temperature Voice-Coil and High-Heat Dissipation-ring with a Ventury cooling configuration. This results in up to 3 times more long term power handling, when compared to conventional motor designs. The system keeps the Sub’s motor running cool, enabling much greater power handling for a much longer period of time. So crank up your system and enjoy, because we can take the heat.

High Excursion Design:Up to 50% more air movement do to higher excursion tech-nology as compared to other drivers with comparable pow-er handling capability. Combined with the power handling improvements this subwoofer delivers over 70% more linear air movement (more Bass) than conventional subwoofers with the same size voice coil when used in small sealed boxes.

Quality components:Rest assured that this Subwoofer will stand the test of time. Using time tested components that perform better and lon-ger we have created a Subwoofer that can last 2-3 times longer than most subwoofers today.

Carbon Hybrid Polymer Cone:This cone will withstand 1000 Watts of music power without distorting or coloring the sound.Do to a special process created by fussing high grade poly-mers this Hybrid Cone will increase rigidity, and therefore increase efficiency, which ultimately means more, undis-torted, car-shaking bass.
