The old cliché “ Music soothes the savage beast” is not an understatement. Some of my favorite downtime is spent enjoying one of the 2000+ selections on my iPod. The iPod/iPhone/iPad now allows you to carry your entire music library, if you wish, with you on the go. You are virtually unlimited in your listening experience at all times. However, earphones are not my experience of choice. The player is not limited to earphones and by connecting to the docking connector output you can unleash your listening experience.<br />

Connecting to your docking port on your iPod/iPhone/iPad gives you access to an uncompressed music port that will connect to any auto head unit with a 3.5 mm (1/8") auxiliary input, dual left and right RCA's on your home stereo/receiver or professional XLR’r or ¼" audio connections on a soundboard or PA system.<br />
You can also import music from your CD collection in a Lossless audio format for true CD quality sound. My Lossless imports on the iPod are limited to only Miles Davis - Kind of Blue and Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters. Lossless uses a lot of memory and Apple's ACC(Advance Audio Coding) is better than the MP3 audio format and sounds pretty good for most music.<br />
<br />
Let's get back to connecting your iPod/iPhone/iPad. The docking connector is a true line level connection, which means it is not controlled by your volume and is a steady-state signal. However, equalization settings on the player are still in effect and you can vary the treble and bass, depending on your preference. Of course mine is set for Jazz. At home I use a docking cable with the optional USB cable plugged into an AC outlet to USB 5V adapter for charging. In the car the 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) with optional USB allows charging from the cigarette lighter using USB 5V adapter.<br />

They range in size from a small 12 inch LCD to 55 inches Plasma or a newer LED displays, with some weighing over 100 pounds. Plus to complicate the situation, there are just as many variations of mounts available, slim, low-profile, swivel, tilt and adjustable tilt. How do you choose and how much is it going to cost are the two questions asked all the time.<br /><br />First, let us tackle the question on styles. Choosing the type of mount requires you to take a few factors into consideration. Displays should be viewed at eye level to avoid neck fatigue. When mounting the display above eye level a tilt mount or mounting the display as far from the viewing area as possible is recommended. Distance reduces looking up at a sharp angle. However, for standard tilt mounts as much as 4 inch spacing may be necessary. A corner mount location will require some swiveling and tilting to get the optimal view. Mounting on a wall that can be viewed from the sides require a low-profile mount. This provides a neat side profile view and hides the connections. The newer low-profile mounts only require a 0.31 spacing between the wall and the display. If you are tilting the low profile mount a minimum spacing of 0.75 inches is required between the wall and the display. In addition, some ultra slim low profile mounts have less weight capacities. You want to stay with a high weight capacity fixed or tilt mount for the bigger displays, especially if ultra slim low profile is not a concern.<br /><br />VESA is a Video Electronics Standards Association, which helps display manufacturers standardize the four holes mounting pattern on the back of the display. Nowadays most manufacturers comply with the standards, but the standard still varies depending on the display size and the manufacturer. Most new displays will comply with VESA whole patterns. The display’s VESA actual requirement is located in the manual. <br /><br />Wall mounts are constructed from steel. Displays are made from a combination of plastic, metal and electronics. Important because you want the display to stay on the wall, where ever you decide to hang it. Falling of the the wall is not an option. This is not a problem if you attach the mount to the wall properly and the display to the mount properly. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8FO0YJGinrrKdIFdMl9T8SMWSpG5khvqdtsPJfWc5i1B2oD9mx87sCtX0gI4-XpSL9KcS0C3A0xyPg69yPykoI1ekRoaIKdBzX82OZRe_6EGN2CRD4tmvM1ztFMCeZxPlmc9/s1600/Wall_mtd.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578853054102797506" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8FO0YJGinrrKdIFdMl9T8SMWSpG5khvqdtsPJfWc5i1B2oD9mx87sCtX0gI4-XpSL9KcS0C3A0xyPg69yPykoI1ekRoaIKdBzX82OZRe_6EGN2CRD4tmvM1ztFMCeZxPlmc9/s320/Wall_mtd.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br /><br />Now that VESA makes it simple to match the display pattern with the proper mount designed, one more critical factor is the display's weight. A steel mount will specify the maximum load weight. As we stated, an average 50-inch displays will weigh 70 to 80 pounds and some older plasmas as much as 100 pounds. Remember the mounts are steel and most will support the weight they are designed to carry. The critical component is the wall and the structure of the wall to support the weight. If you are mounting a heavy display unit on a wall, make sure the wall is structurally sound, follow the mounting directions and you will not have any problems.<br /><br />Finally, how much should you pay for a wall mount? This will depend on the profile, swivel, and tilt requirements. You do not need a name brand mount, unless you have a specific design problem. These are steel mounts and as long as you matched them to the display’s mounting specifications, adhere to weight limits and install them properly, they will perform as design. So save your money and put the savings into upgrading the display, adding a Blu Ray or surround sound system, which are more important for a full high def experience.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17516136104355160212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19101083.post-29474823154019075052011-02-18T15:38:00.010-05:002011-04-14T14:21:35.489-04:00Compression Connectors and ToolsThere are three things you want when installing an audio/video system, so you can get to the job of enjoying the finish results.<br /><br />1. It should be easy<br />2. Work properly<br />3. Last forever, without any problem.<br /><br />Compression connectors matched with the right coaxial cables are designed to provide all of these.<br /><br />The connectors are available in three primary styles, which will fit the needs of consumer, professional and commercial applications. RCA connectors are the most common and found on most consumer audio/video electronic products. For broadband and CATV, you will see the F connector. Professional and commercial installations used BNC connectors.<br /><br />Two types of coaxial cables RG-6 and RG-59 are found in 90% of the installations. Old installs used RG-59 for common house runs. The RG-6 is popular today and my favorite. RG-6 is a 18 gauge single conductor solid or stranded wire. Solid conductors offer the best properties and are easy to use with compression connectors. RG-6 works for audio and video, both digital and the older analog signals. The larger 18 gauge is also good for longer runs.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh63USp8d_qo5JVYBY6Wyq-s_e3vEFxQQqhLTWCIxF7_ilFR7qZRY_ncQQFGoLQTFgJy8a5YHvbnZuY4qLk2VBgWDSwU8QI_XtbJyahwcsm1N8MP8Xr_3E0jlXTSgGW23N23Wol/s1600/Compression-tools.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 99px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh63USp8d_qo5JVYBY6Wyq-s_e3vEFxQQqhLTWCIxF7_ilFR7qZRY_ncQQFGoLQTFgJy8a5YHvbnZuY4qLk2VBgWDSwU8QI_XtbJyahwcsm1N8MP8Xr_3E0jlXTSgGW23N23Wol/s320/Compression-tools.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575132747172619346" border="0" /></a>Terminating RCA's, F’s or BNC connectors to RG-6 is a four step process and requires only three tools, cable cutter, coaxial stripper and a compression crimping tool. A small curved jaw cutter does a nice clean cut without deforming the cable. However, any sharp wire cutters will work that are designed to handle up to 12gauge wire. The coaxial strippers are connector specific and cable specific. Liberty offers a complete CM-TOOL-PAC that includes all the tools with a case for easy storage.<br /><br />The one piece all metal connectors from Liberty and White Sands Engineering are high quality great value products. They are an all-metal design rugged and can handle tough conditions. Instructions for terminating connectors are simple. Details on terminating the connectors are available online. The Liberty connectors have a nice color-coded feature to allow you to confirm you are using the correct connected with the cable.<br /><br />Cables made with these connectors and coaxial cable, will work on the following applications left/right audio, composite video, component video, subwoofer, S/PDIF, CATV or HD SDI. In other words they will work for just about every audio or video application you require. What is the down side? None!<br /><br />On your next electronics install project check out the compression connector products and you will be pleasantly surprised, how easy and fast you will be enjoying your listening or viewing experience and not worrying about problems for years to come.<br><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pIfG2F-Hu08" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17516136104355160212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19101083.post-57353973166622190452011-01-19T13:18:00.002-05:002011-01-19T13:23:54.652-05:00Digital to Analog - What do I really need ?<span style="color:#000000;">We get many questions a day regarding the differences between part #'s GTVDD2AA & GTVDIGAUD2AAUD. What really is the difference, What do you really need?<br /> <br />Part # <b>GTVDD2AA</b> (the decoder) is the most compatible and takes all of the channels and puts them onto the stereo output. This unit will accept PCM or bitstream.<br /> <br />Part # <b>GTVDIGAUD2AAUD</b> only outputs the two stereo channels onto the two stereo channels.</span> This unit MUST be used with a device that outputs PCM.<br /><br /><b>PCM Definition: </b>PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. PCM technology is a means by which standard audio signals (which are represented by waveforms) are converted to digital audio signals (which are represented by 1's and 0's - much like computer data) with little, or no, compression. The method of audio conversion is used on most digital audio formats, including CDs and DVD-Audio, and is also used to some extent in Blu-ray and HD-DVD applications. The PCM signal is converted back to analog form for distribution to loudspeakers. PCM, although digital in nature, should not be confused with a Dolby Digital or DTS Bitstream, which is compressed, and digitally encoded in a different manner than PCM. However, Dolby Digital and DTS encoded audio signals can be decoded into PCM signals and transferred via HDMI to a growing number of Home Theater Receivers for further processing and amplification. This is common in most Blu-ray and HD-DVD player applications.<br /><br /><div><b>Bitstream Definition: </b>A Bitstream refers to binary bits of information (1's and 0's) transferred from one device to another. However, in Home Theater applications, Bitstream refers to a digitally-encoded Dolby Digital or DTS-related compressed audio signal from a source component (such as a DVD, Blu-ray, or HD-DVD player, HD-Cable, or HD-Satellite Box) to a Preamp/Processor (either standalone or built into a Home Theater Receiver) for decoding and distribution to the amplifier stage for final sound reproduction, in analog form, by the loudspeakers. The Bitstream can be sent via <a href="http://hometheater.about.com/od/hometheaterglossary/g/digitaloptdef.htm">Digital Optical</a>, <a href="http://hometheater.about.com/od/hometheaterglossary/g/digitalcoaxdef.htm">Digital Coaxial</a>, or <a href="http://hometheater.about.com/od/hometheaterglossary/g/hdmidef.htm">HDMI</a> interface. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19101083.post-89274751972562907672010-11-17T16:40:00.000-05:002010-11-17T16:40:21.797-05:00FREE SHIPPING and iPod HD Audio Cable SALE!<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">RAM is giving away <i>FREE SHIPPING</i> on <u>ALL Orders</u>* starting <u>TODAY</u>!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
