Harrisburg, PA, March 11, 2008 - On-Q/Legrand, the leader in Home Systems, announced today the launch of its newly
redesigned lyriQ™ Amplified Keypad. The updated keypad offers energy-conscious
green features, including a Class D amplifier and a sleep mode, making the
device both energy and cost efficient.
The improved keypad design utilizes a high-performance Class D amplifier rather
than a Class A/B amplifier. Replacing the amplifier allows the volume control
to run at a lower temperature while delivering maximum power to attached devices. In
addition, if the keypad does not receive audio input after 20 minutes, the
amplifier automatically disables and enters sleep mode. The new keypad
saves 50 percent in energy consumption.
“By redesigning the standard keypad, we can provide our customers with
better overall value in their multi-room audio system,” said Christine
Filowiak, Audio Product Manager for On-Q/Legrand. “The combination
of the Class D amplifier, the sleep mode, and the enhanced features translates
into cost savings for both the homeowner and the installer.”
In addition to its green features, the lyriQ Keypad offers ruggedized, noise-resistant
IR circuitry; new installer setup features; and an RJ45 connection. The
additional features save installers time setting up and troubleshooting audio
systems. The improved IR circuitry removes errant signals, making the
keypad more resistant to common inference issues caused by sunlight and fluorescent
lights. By including new setup features and an RJ45 connection, installers
can conveniently preconfigure settings as well as test the device.
While thefeatures enhance the functionality of the device, the keypad provides
the same ease of use of the standard lyriQ Amplified Keypad, allowing homeowners
to conveniently control the distribution and volume of Cat 5-based audio in
one or multiple zones of the home.
The new lyriQ Amplified Keypad will be available in the second quarter of 2008.
