making technology invisible

Home at last


FINALLY TIME FOR FINE ENTERTAINMENT.

For some, the greatest thing is browsing through an old record collection with a good glass of wine. Whilst others look forward to a fun filled afternoon of games with a console. Or streaming a slide show of holiday photo-graphs from an iPad to a new television set. And still others love to relax on the couch and take in a good movie.

We have technology to thank for many great moments,but does the entire living room have to be packed with technology?

Do away with loudspeakers, cable chaos, that bulky sub-woofer and amplifiers scattered about your living room. A home for the iPad and other devices would be handy.

NO TECHNOLOGY. JUST PURE ENTERTAINMENT.

As entertainment furniture specialist, that'sexactly the task we have made our business: bringing together better living and entrainment technology.

FOR PEOPLE

WHO PREFER TO HEAR LOUDSPEAKERS,

NOT SEE THEM.

With Ameno, the speakers are invisibly integrated in the furniture. They produce an incomparably rich surround sound without all those cables scattered around .

AND THE AMPLIFIER AND SUBWOOFER ?

Both are integrated in the sound system. So that they, too, are hidden out of sight.

Interchangeable Future-proofNEVER HAVE ANOTHER WORRY AGAIN

WHEN IT COMES TO NEW TECHNOLOGY.

Ameno is also available with a docking station for iPhone, Ipod, iPad and Samsung Galaxy. The docks and accompa-nying cables are located under the furniture's top panel. Mobile devices can be simply inserted from the top and are thus directly connected to the TV and sound system. This enables you to stream music, pictures and videos to the television or sound system directly. The dock also functions as a hidden charging station so there are no cables scattered about.

USE DIFFERENT APPLE DEVICES?

Attachable adapters are available for use with several Apple devices simultaneously or upgrading from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 with no problem. That way mum can plug in her iPhone 4, dad can charge his iPhone 5 and their little girl can listen to music on her iPad Mini. And there's also room for the family classic iPod Touch.

Spectral docks and adapters are developed further on a regular basis. All current docking solutions can be atspectral.eu/de/dockfinder

SPACE FOR DEVICES

OUTLET, APPLE TV, POWER SUPPLY, DOCK FOR MOBILE DEVICES

AND EVERYTHING ELSE ...

Cables, cables and even more cables.Those unsightly things are hanging everywhere you look. A horror, no doubt. Quick fix: simply remove the magnetic covering from the equipment section plug in the USB cable, power supply or whatever else and replace the cover. Presto, everything is now nice and tidy. Thanks, Ameno.

It is all possible with the heart of Ameno: the backbone made of high-strength aluminium. A cable compartment that is flexible to use, divide and easily accessible. The overlying cover can also be individually designed like the furniture itself.

FUTURE-PROOF.

And should you wish to insert your iPhone in addition to your iPad infuture: no problem. Just insert an additional dock and replace the cover. By the way, it takes less than two minutes.

The sound that emanates from a Spectral VRA sound system cannot be described by words. Canton speaks of itself as being by far the best front surround sound system in the world. At least its the most beautiful front surround sound system in the world to us.

VIRTUAL SURROUND SOUND?

SOUND COMPLICATED?

NO, SOUNDS FANTASTIC.

The left and right speakers and subwoofer (2.1) are incorporated in a single speaker unit. With the help of advanced sound processing, your ear perceives a surround effect without requiring five speakers and a sub-woofers as you do with a regular (5.1) surround system. Thanks to the DTS® Tru- Surround technology there is no need for walls or other reflective surfaces.

BENEFITS:

• No loudspeakers scattered about and no visible cables

• Integrated subwoofer and amplifier• Integrated RDS Radio (BRA1, VRA1)• Programmable universal remote

for controlling other devices (BRA1, VRA1)• furniture can be placed anywhere

within the room• ultra low heat generation thanks to the

digital amplifier• perfectly matched components

SOUND AND PRAISE FROM ALL SIDES.

A WIDE SELECTION OF SOUND MODES:

The sound systems have special programmes for sophisticated music enjoyment in stereo and two surround modes for movies and live concerts. Everything can simply be switched by remote control.

CHOICE OF 3 SOUND SYSTEMS:

GOOD: SCA3

Completely baffled by the voluminous sound that the SCA3 produces, we double-checked for safety's sake if there really were any other speakers or subwoofers running. Even in terms of performance, the "little" sound system showed impressive results in our big test room. Great effects, clearly understandable dialogues and a bass you can actually feel, we truly enjoyed how it played "Skyfall". The integrated Bluetooth 4.0 interface allows wireless music streaming from virtually any mobile device.

BETTER: BRA1

Our best-seller Enormously strong and stable surround sound system volume level that can be adjusted to acoustically difficult spaces, thanks to an advanced signal processor. For those who really want a home entertain-ment system from a one-box solution in the living room, the BRA1 is the best alternative.

BEST: VRA1

2.57 metre uncompromising performance instereo and surround sound. Sounds exciting lively and harmonious. Bass and base tones work hand in hand to offer a fantastic sound experience. Put simply: the best front surround system money can buy.

OBJECTS ON FURNITURE.

Furniture are items for personal use. You use them for this and that. And quite often people place objects on it. And you move them about a bit.

AHHHHH … SCRATCHED SURFACE?

No worries. The Ameno glass surfaces are many times harder than traditionally coated furniture surfaces. The ceramic surface is even harder, and virtually scratch- resistant. Just as it should be.

Anything else would simply be mad, right?

Tough and a homely appearance seem to be opposites. But not with Ameno. The ceramic surfaces feature a natu-ral texture and a harmonious colour scheme. That means they provide viewers with a moving visual and haptic experience.

A gold iPhone makes for a real eye-catcher on a matching surface.

A WORLD'S FIRST:

WOOD WITH ALUMINIUM CORE.

The cabinet frames and fronts are have an outer layer that is 4 mm thin. Thiscover forms the surface of Ameno, giving the furniture its unmistakable elegance.

With traditional methods, 4 mm wooden cover layers cannot be made to be warp-free and sturdy. That is why they have been made with a sturdy aluminium core for Ameno. The wood veneers are laminated wafer-thin from both sides on to the aluminium core.

The wooden covers are cut using a water jet. This method offers unrivalled precision and an elegant shiny edge.

VARIATION: ALUMINIUM SURFACE.

The aluminium outer layer is made from ALUCOBOND®, a bonded panel consisting of two anodized aluminium with a black synthetic core.This surface is extremely durable and resistant.
