Las Vegas, NV (June 13, 2005) -- At InfoComm 2005, exclusive U.S. distributor American Music & Sound (AM&S) introduced two new loudspeaker products from NetCIRA(tm), a division of Fostex Japan. Enjoying their U.S. debut were the new ES6300 EtherSound-enabled speaker and the cost-effective SH-6 installation speaker.
 The new ES6300 is a versatile powered speaker/receiver that receives audio data converted to Digigram EtherSound protocol and employs the exact same 4-inch magnetically shielded full-range driver and chassis as the best-selling Fostex 6301B speaker system. The ES6300, which features a built-in D class power amplifier rated at 10W output, features a rotary volume control on the front and additionally offers remote control of audio channel and volume level using the LR-1 remote via the RJ-45 remote terminal provided.
An additional phone jack input is available on the rear panel of the ES6300 for analog source monitoring, together with a mono phones output. The switching power supply allows for easy worldwide use. The rugged, all-metal, compact enclosure may optionally be bracket-mounted.
The cost-effective SH-6 compact 2-way ceiling-mount speaker provides good sound reproduction via its 6.5-inch coaxial unit. Ideal for speech and background music, it offers quick and easy installation. The SH-6 supports a frequency response of 55Hz - 20kHz and has a rated input of 50W (100W program). Output SPL is 88 dB/W (1 m).
