NuVo Technologies Offers the Innovative Simplese Audio Distribution System for the CEDIA Hot 50

June 2003, CINCINNATI, OH - NuVo Simplese delivers an innovative whole-house audio distribution system that opens up a new and profitable market for custom home installation.

A large potential growth market is the "up and comer" mass consumer purchasing a production home ranging from $200,000-$500,000. This consumer demands elegant design, high technology, and ease of use-all at an affordable price. Simplese lands squarely on the mark.

The NuVo Simplese dual-source, four-zone audio distribution system delivers a true multi-source, multi-zone audio system that is elegant in design, advanced in technology, easy to operate, and all at a price comparable to a system with just volume controls and simple amplification. For less than $1,000 retail, the NuVo Simplese System provides elegant backlit keypads that enable listening choices while utilizing advanced-system "home run" wiring. This wiring scheme allows independent control over multiple pieces of audio source equipment and the delivery of a highly efficient, high-fidelity audio signal directly to the speakers within that zone. Simplese represents a dramatic value improvement over low-cost, impedance-matched volume controls and a multi-channel amplifier.

Internally, advanced engineering has created startlingly clear audio reproduction. The use of high-quality fiberglass circuit board material decreases the amount of audio cross-talk and increases stereo separation and zone-to-zone audio separation for true reproduction of the source material. The use of a heavy extruded aluminum heat sink, as well as relay-switched outputs that eliminate any current draw from the amplifiers when they are turned off, allow the Simplese to run for prolonged periods of time with no perceptible increase in operating temperature. The result is a high-fidelity audio output and long-term reliability.

Four Simplese keypads ship with the system, complete with white, ivory, and almond Decora-compatible cover plates. They offer the consumer an elegant, backlit interface that is easy to operate, and incorporate advanced features such as zone control, EQ settings, and a unique setting that allows multiple keypads to share the same source selection. This feature is perfect for the open living spaces common in today's homes. A built-in infrared receiver is cleverly hidden under the volume button and allows easy wireless access to the audio source equipment as well as the Simplese keypad functions. Unlike many IR receivers, the advanced IR repeater of the Simplese System is not adversely affected by sunlight, fluorescent light, and plasma displays.

NuVo Simplese brings the advanced technology of superior home sound together with the simplicity of user-friendly design in a complete package retailing for $999. Highly reliable, shipped complete, with installation a snap…Simplese opens a whole new audio enjoyment opportunity for today's families.
