March 15, 2004 – Selma, OR – Equi=Tech Corporation “The Pioneer of Balanced Power” shows off the newest addition to their balanced power lineup of products at this year’s NSCA Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Keeping up with its industry leading position as the innovator of revolutionary power products, the company introduces the Model QV1000 as the first product of its kind designed specifically for cleaning video images on CRT’s, LCD’s, projection systems and in associated video signal processors.

The primary differences between the QV1000 and its audio related power equipment is the bandwidth of noise rejection achieved in the video versions of its systems.  While their audio related balanced power systems already sport the widest bandwidth of harmonic load-noise attenuation of all similar products, the QV1000 extends the bandwidth of noise attenuation even further, up into the frequency range of the MPG compressed video stream. “It’s the best video cleaner I’ve ever seen.  It made my regular TV play like an expensive video monitor.”, states John Guidi of Evolution Audio and Theater in Agoura Hills, California.

The QV1000 has a 10-amp capacity, large enough for the most formidable home and commercial projection systems and also enough power in reserve to accommodate additional source video electronics and other signal processors.  The system also includes a CATV isolator built into the rear panel of the chassis to protect the system from unwarranted cable noise on the line.  The QV1000 lists for $1889 retail.  Dealer inquiries are invited.  More information about the new Model QV1000 can be found here.

"The most prestigious of all awards to be won, the "Best Sound of Show" is what all exhibitors are shooting for," states Martin Glasband, Equi=Tech's President.  "I spent a few hours just listening to the remarkable sound in that room myself.  When they demo'd Loius Armstrong's rendition of St. James Infirmary, I knew we were in a special place." he continued.  "It was captivating and exciting to hear music reproduced with such clarity and realism.  We were fortunate indeed to be teamed up with the companies who shared the space with us as I am equally proud of our contribution." he concludes.  The Model 2Q was Equi=Tech's featured item present in the "Harlem Suite" with other fine components from the other room contributors.  San Francisco's 2004 show also featured the newest of Equi=Tech's super-high resolution front end models, the Q650, providing stunning clarity and detail above and beyond all other similar products.

Balanced AC, pioneered by Equi=Tech, has recently found its way into many households as well as most professional recording studios.  Increased sonic resolution and detail as well as tighter more defined bass response are two of the benefits that Equi=Tech's balanced power products offer to the high-end audio marketplace. The impact that this technology has had is ever expanding across the technology map.  The benefits realized in the high definition audio arena is just one more example of what solid science can do for people in many different ways.

Equi=Tech, Manley Labs and Joseph Audio plan an encore presentation at the next Home Entertainment Show scheduled for San Francisco in June, 2003.  (Another convincing win.) If you can attend either of the shows in 2004 which will be held in New York and San Francisco once more, please do so.  You will be treating your ears to something really special.

Undergoing some recent major design changes, the revolutionary Wall Cabinet Balanced Power System has gained a very strong foothold in the professional audio marketplace.  Many of the largest and most well known studios have opted to use these wall systems for their studio's technical power needs.  Among some of the major studios who have chosen the Wall System are (in no special order), Ocean Way Recording, Avatar Studios (Power Station), The Plant, Sony Music, Glennwood Studios, Ray Charles Entrerprises, Wonderland and Sound Services Inc. (SSI).  Many others too have made the wall system their choice because they simply want the quietest studio possible.

This is the second time that a Wall System has received a nomination for this award.  A Previous version of the Wall Cabinet System, the Model ET10W, received similar acclaim in 1998 just after the product was first introduced.  The newest redesigned version however has substantially launched this product into greater popularity than ever before.  Now 25% larger and having the capacity to accomodate more circuits, studio designers are finding it much easier to retrofit or design new rooms than with the its predecessors.  Many studio owners have commented that this is the most refined balanced power system on the market today.  This has simplified their choice knowing that they can acquire the best there is for their studio investment.

The MIX foundation has been presenting awards for Technical Excellence and Creativity since 1985 and since, they have come to be regarded as the benchmark awards in the entire audio industry.  The nomination process involves 185 industry leaders who choose from a prospective list of nominees or submit their own choices.  The nomination ballots are then tallied and the nominees are officially chosen.  5 nominees from each category are placed on an official ballot appearing in the August issue of MIX Magazine.  The voting is then done by the readership.  Winners will be announced at the TEC Awards Banquet at the Marriott Hotel in New York on September 22 during the AES Convention.

Balanced power, which has up to now been the exclusive domain of the audio and video industries has become the heir apparent to many other types of power conditioning technologies used in a variety of commercial and high-tech environments.  These areas include data processing, R & D, telecommunications, automated manufacturing and specific areas of commercial lighting.

“Building on our success in the audio/video and broadcast markets, it was the logical next step.” states Martin Glasband, President of Equi=Tech Corporation and author of the new NEC Article 647.  “What we've managed to accomplish here in the a/v industry in a few short years represents what I believe is the beginning of a revolution in power quality technology that will surely sweep through the world of high-tech electronics.” he adds.

Revised once every three years, the NEC is the principle reference to which electrical engineers, contractors and inspectors refer for up-to-date industry standards and as a legal reference for local building code enforcement.  The technical committee's 17-1 vote exceeds the required 2/3 majority vote required for acceptance and insures that the amendment will be on a fast track for adoption in the 2002 code.
