Hush Media Centres Herald Silent Revolution in Home Entertainment (7/12/2007)

The new generation of home entertainment has arrived with the announcement of the launch of three innovative new HD Media Centres from German manufacturer Hush Technologies.

The Hush E1200, E5200 and E5200d redefine quality, design and performance for people who demand the ultimate home entertainment experience. The Media Centres allow you to store all of your music, movies and photos and play them back in full HD audio and video quality, all from the comfort of your own sofa with a simple-to-use remote control unit and Microsoft software. The systems are full of the latest technology and stunningly designed, to make them not only a unique one-stop entertainment centre but also a gorgeous aesthetic enhancement to your home.

The Hush Media Centres have more processing power than any other dedicated home entertainment system, making them hugely versatile, fast and flawless in operation. The standard system has a huge 1TB hard drive - capable of storing up to 18,000 albums. The Media Centres are also completely silent, thanks to the unique fanless cooling system.

Hush has worked with Microsoft to ensure that the Media Centres are simple to use and the software is logical and very robust. Each system is operated with one simple Microsoft Media Centre Remote Control Unit and runs on Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium software. You can broadcast to any room in the house with simultaneous individual selection of sound or vision, using Ethernet connections.

The Media Centre range is priced at between £1,200 and £2,800, depending on specification - a fraction of what you would pay for a top level media player device, and each comes with a full two year guarantee.

Each system is supplied complete with Microsoft Vista Home Premium and includes a Digital TV receiver with twin tuners and interactive 14-day electronic programme guide, a DVD recorder and a Personal Video recorder for recording TV digital to hard disk and a Microsoft Media Centre Remote Control Unit.

There is a choice of 250GB, 500GB, 1TB or 2TB hard disk storage and each system can support a variety of connections including HDMI, VGA, DVI, USB, LAN, S/PDIF (optical and legacy connections) as well as an Optional Card Reader for Compact Flash/Micro Drive, Memory Stick and SD Card/Multimedia Card.

The Hush E1200, E5200 and E5200d go on sale on 15 November 2007.
