ANAHEIM, CALIF. (Feb. 23, 2010) – Even in today’s technology-driven classrooms, hearing the instructor or multi-media presentations is vital to a student’s performance. To ensure crystal clear audio from instructional technology devices, Premier Mounts (www.mounts.com) has introduced two Universal Short Throw Projector Wall Mounts with Audio components (UNI-STA+Audio and UNI-EXT+Audio). This product provides a cost-effective and high quality audio solution for educational institutions in a time of extremely limited budgets for technology.

Designed with two 25 Watt speakers and a 50 Watt amplifier, the UNI-STA+Audio and UNI-EXT+Audio are flexible mounting options for all of the latest short-throw projectors. A GearBoxâ„¢ is integrated into the projector base plate, which securely stores away A/V and IT components, providing a clean appearance and enhanced security.

“We’re thrilled to be the first to bring this product to the marketplace, because we know that it’s going to make a huge different in the way classrooms function,� said Lee Dodson, president at Premier Mounts. “Having high-quality sound is as important as having clear video, but unfortunately, we’ve become accustomed to the audio falling short. By adding high-quality audio to our Universal Short Throw Projector Mounts, we’ve created an environment where technology enhances the learning experience for all students.�

An affordable, integrated solution, the UNI-STA+Audio and UNI-EXT+Audio are the newest products in Premier Mounts’ 2010 game-changing lineup. Additional features of the mounts include:
• Two 25 Watt two-way speakers with a 5-inch woofer and directional tweeters
• A 50 Watt power amplifier residing in the integrated GearBox™ enclosure
• Multiple inputs, including separate line-level mic input
• Dynamic sound range distributes the audio evenly throughout a classroom
• Extends from 7 to 27 inches from the wall (UNI-STA) and from 37 to 60 inches from the wall (UNI-EXT)
• Mounts to single or dual studs, steel studs and concrete
• Includes universal projector mount (PDS-PLUS)

The UNI-STA+Audio and the UNI-EXT+Audio will be shipping in May 2010. Pre-orders are currently being accepted. The products are available for purchase through all authorized Premier Mounts dealers and international distributors. UNI-STA+Audio MSRP: $949.00; UNI-EXT+Audio MSRP: $999.00.
