Almo Professional A/V Now Offers Expanded AMX Line

Almo Carries AMX Integrated Controllers, Touch Panel / DVX Bundles, Switchers, Amplifiers and HydraPort Systems; Shown on E4 AV Tour In April

Philadelphia, PA — March 30, 2011 — Almo Professional A/V, the nation’s fastest growing audiovisual distributor, today revealed it is offering an expanded line of AMX products, including AMX’s Integrated Controllers, Modero Touch Panel / DVX bundles, switchers, amplifiers and a modular port system. The new additions to Almo Professional A/V’s initial offering of the AMX Inspired Xpress product gives partners more choices to customize and complete their digital signage and other general professional AV projects.

AMX will exhibit these products during Almo’s 2011 E4 AV Tour, which begins in San Francisco on April 6 and continues on to Dallas on April 21. AMX will also host a training session on “Emerging Trends in Configurable Control Systems� during the E4 events.

According to Almo Professional A/V Executive Vice President and COO Sam Taylor, “We’ve had great interest in the AMX Inspired Xpress product since we began carrying it last May. Offering the expanded AMX product line is a tremendous advantage to our partners who can now source their AMX products through one provider.� He continued, “Combined with Almo Pro A/V’s in-house business development consultation, installation support, and AMX programs and product training, we are helping our partners to go further with the creation of every professional install.�

Almo Pro A/V partners now have access to AMX’s Integrated Controllers and RMS software solutions, which allow both the racks and the room to be controlled remotely, thereby reducing the need to send staff to a customer site. They can also get a special AMX distribution DVX bundle, which consists of a DVX-2100HD Environment Controller and the choice of a 7″, 10″ or 12″ wall-mounted or tabletop touch panel with preloaded MeetingRoom software, five-room RMS software and the necessary power supply. This solution allows installers, technicians and programmers with limited technical proficiency to configure a meeting or conference room control system by simply answering a series of wizard-based questions directly on a Modero Touch Panel.

Additional AMX products now available through Almo include HDMI and DVI switchers; analog switchers; stand-alone and rack-mounted distribution amplifiers; and HydraPort, a modular, retractable connection port system for routing signals through conference tables.

Almo will also provide resellers with ongoing AMX educational opportunities via live webinars, on-demand classes, and live instructor-led training. Partners have the ability to sign up for the AMX/Almo Pro A/V Digital Signage Solution Provider Program for additional training, product discounts and more.
