A/V installation at Lucha Cantina

We just finished a sound system and video installation at a new restaurant in Rockford's Edgebrook Center on Alpine Road, Lucha Cantina.  The audio side consists of a dbx zone processor, twin Crown amplifiers, a power conditioner and surge suppression from Furman Audio and twenty...yes, twenty JBL Pro ceiling mounted loudspeakers.

For video we installed a 50" and two 42" Panasonic plasma televisions in their bar area.  The audio from the 50" can be enjoyed in any of the five zones!  Lucha Cantina serves quality Mexican and American fare (99% of their food is fresh and made to order), a huge beer selection and of course...margaritas supreme!

Here is a photo of the three Panasonic plasma screens and three of the twenty JBL Pro loudspeakers.  Check out Lucha Cantina soon!


Sonos updates

Starting today Sonos owners can play music and podcasts stored locally on Android phones or tablets anywhere there is a Sonos speaker*. Simple, Clean, and Seamless. 


With devices running Android 2.1 and higher (podcasts are compatible with Android 2.2 and higher), people may access their music in three quick steps: 
1. Update the Sonos Controller for Android to software version 4.1.1 via the Google Play Store or Amazon Appstore. This release is for Android Controllers only — the rest of the components will remain on Sonos software version 4.1.
2. Ensure the smart device is on the home wireless network, and then launch the Sonos Controller App.
3. Go to the Music menu and select ‘This Mobile Device.’ 

Sonos sets out to continuously improve the home music listening experience. As a result Sonos keeps getting better by providing faster access to the music you love. Only Sonos lets you play all the music on earth—from any source to any room. This includes your music library no matter where it is stored. 

*Music downloaded through Google PLAY must still be synced to your computer.
