Newsletter - 5 March 2007 - Home Cinema |
|
|
You may have noticed that we have a new look. We've been
busy streamlining HiddenWires.co.uk
and moving to a new server. There is still some springcleaning
to do, but hopefully the result is a faster and easier to
navigate site, with one click access to all the main pages
from wherever you are.
Following on from our market research last year and from
general feedback, we are pleased to announce that we will
be adding training and recruitment sections this month. If
you're interested in being included please let us know - if
you're on the HiddenWires Call4Content list, then you will
receive details shortly. (Anyone who is interested in keeping
up to date with opportunities to contribute to HiddenWires
can subscribe to the Call4Content list by sending an email
to info(AT)hiddenwires.co.uk with 'Subscribe Call4Content'
as the subject.)
Our feature this month is Home Cinema, and is sponsored by
Ingenium.
We have six articles covering home cinema control, how large
flatscreens are affecting the projector market, surround sound
with fewer speakers, HDMI, consumer storage trends and custom
installers as high-end distributors.
Finally, we'd like to welcome Nuvo
Technologies as a Silver sponsor and Genelec
as a renewing Silver sponsor.
