Knoll Systems Kicks off 25th Anniversary Celebration
Knoll
Systems, a leading provider of home theater systems and custom installation
products is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
It
was in January 1985 when Kevin Knoll, P Eng. established a small
home theater and custom installation business, in Richmond, B.C.
The business grew over the years and now has locations in the United
States and Canada and ships products worldwide.
Developing an atmosphere where teamwork, dedication, a lot of hard
work and fun are natural along with an open door policy where ideas
from employees, customers and dealers are heard and developed, Knoll
Systems has earned a rock-solid reputation for providing innovative
products and top-notch customer service. As Kevin Knoll says "One
of the cornerstones of Knoll's foundation is the importance we put
on promoting lasting partnerships with our customers and dealers
alike."
Focused
on delivering world-class products to an increasingly technologically
advanced client, Knoll has been an innovator in product development
and has established itself as a player in the industry. Kevin also
credits the endless hard work and dedication of employees; many
of them having been with Knoll for more than 10 years, for Knoll's
success. Everyone here works hard to stay ahead of the technology
curve to deliver products and solutions to keep our customers happy.
August 20, 2009 Knoll introduces its new Home Theater Projector
line proudly built from the ground up!
Knoll Systems is thrilled to introduce its
newest line of projectors, the HDP1100 and 1200. Knoll has been
manufacturing award winning projectors since 1991 and we can tell
you that we have never felt such excitement as we do now. Important
new features for these projectors include:
The all new MaxPlay™ imager and video processor, 2-HD™
lens shift and Dynamic Black™ automatic iris make installation
easier and faster as well as a picture quality that is nothing short
of fabulous. The HDP1200 displays almost all current formats including
Blu-Ray, DVDs and PVRs.
Dynamic Black™ automatic iris adjusts the iris to give you
the optimum picture quality of maximum black level or maximum brightness
depending on the source material and room conditions. The majority
of older high-end projectors require that their manual iris be adjusted
manually or with a remote control. The iris adjusts automatically
on our new projectors.

April 20, 2009 The GSZ44 is now available for shipping from
Knoll Systems
Knoll
Systems is delighted to announce that its third generation of multi-channel,
high-quality power amplifiers with a four source four room model
is available. Like it predecessors, the GSZ44 is designed to meet
the amplifier needs of custom installed multi-zone systems where
high-quality sound is a specific requirement.
The GSZ44 is the newest member of the Knoll Eco-System™ family
of products. This amplifier consumes almost no energy when the unit
is turned on and in standby. In fact it is so efficient, when a
channel is not in use it is shutdown drawing almost no power. This
feature saves thousands of dollars in power and air conditioning
costs over the lifetime of the GSZ44.
Some of the GSZ44 features include: four–rooms zone 30 watts
per channel RMS (60 watts total per room) with an 81 step volume
control; excellent sound quality with class AM amplifiers and automatic
protection circuitry.

to introduce its HDMI safety rated balun system
Almost
all conventional HDMI wires are generally safety unrated and most
jurisdictions require a minimum class 2 to install wires inside
walls. The most cost effective method to install a legal HDMI inwall
run is to use CAT 5e or CAT6 wires and Knoll’s HDMI baluns.
You will also be able to send DVD, cable TV, satellite and digital
pictures and sound from a few feet away to an incredible 70 feet
(21 meters) of cable with no discernible video distortion or cable
loss. The Knoll balun system offers superior performance than the
more expensive, specialized designer cables.
Visit
our product
listings for more information including specifications, typical
installation, and how to place
