DENVER, Sept. 4, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Epson Ensemble HD(tm) Home Cinema System, a fully-integrated high-end home theater solution, has added another award to its list of accolades with a 2008 Exc!te Award from CustomRetailer Magazine. The Exc!te Awards recognize innovative products that demonstrate excitement and growth in the custom installation and consumer electronics industries.
Ensemble HD is the world's first complete, fully-integrated audio and video projection system. Recognized as a breakthrough home entertainment product, Ensemble HD offers a complete home entertainment solution for thousands of dollars less than comparable home theater systems, and is designed to seamlessly transform virtually any room into a high-performance home cinema.
"Being honored with a CustomRetailer Exc!te Award further demonstrates the value that Ensemble HD brings to custom installers -- a complete, affordable home entertainment solution for a customer-base that previously would have only dreamed of owning a high-end home theater in their home," said Rajeev Mishra, director, Projector Marketing and Development, Epson America.
Featuring a high-definition projector for crystal-clear, widescreen video, Ensemble HD also integrates surround sound engineered by Atlantic Technology and a motorized 100-inch screen to provide the ultimate big screen experience at home. Also included is an AV controller with built-in DVD player, universal remote and equipment cabinet. In addition, Ensemble HD comes with all the necessary mounts, brackets, cables and materials needed for professional installation in as little as four hours.
The CustomRetailer Exc!te Awards are chosen by the publication's editors and contributors, as well as select retailers and industry observers. The 2008 award winners will be announced on Sept. 4 at CEDIA Expo.
