Vutec In The News

Vutec’s Artscreen has been showcased in feature articles in two magazines—Angie’s List and DuPont Registry.

Vutec is proud to announce that its Artscreen SoundScape 360 was honored by Electronic House with a 2006 Product of the Year award, presented at CEDIA.

Vutec introduced SoundScape 360, a flat screen masking system for LCDs, Plasma TV’s and video projection screens, in response to the new surround sound technology developed by major audio manufacturers, such as Boston Acoustics, Mirage, Polk Audio, and Yamaha. The new surround sound technology delivers a five-channel sound field from a single horizontal speaker instead of the current system of hard-wired, multiple speakers.

SoundScape 360 incorporates a hardwood frame and retractable screen with a digital art-on-canvas print to create a technologically advanced masking system. When the artwork is retracted, the screen is visible for projection or for television viewing within the frame. When the television is not in use, a reproduction of art or photography is displayed within the frame. Integrated into the housing, SoundScape 360 features a fully dimensional sound compartment that can be positioned above or below the video display, which meets all existing manufacturer’s specifications.

In accepting the award, Howard Sinkoff, president of Vutec, commented that, “We are proud to have designed a product that fuses AV technology with art because it enables consumers to enhance their total audio-video experience by integrating high-performance technology with the aesthetics of their living environment.”
