Wave Electronics is moving to a new 50,000 sqft Super Facility!Memo

 

To: Wave Electronics Dealers

From: Mark Fukuda

Date: April 6, 2010

 

  

Dear Loyal Dealers,

 

Wave Electronics is thrilled to announce that the largest independent CI distributor in the territory just got BIGGER with a new 50,000 sqft Super Facility located at 8648 Glenmont Ste 130, Houston, TX 77036. Both existing Houston Wave Electronics locations and corporate offices will be combined and moved into this amazing new facility with the first day of operation scheduled for April 12, 2010.

 

Friday April 9, 2010 is the last day of operation for the following Wave Electronics locations

  • Wave Electronics Northwest 11323 Tanner Rd
  • Wave Electronics Southwest 8898 Glenmont (closed Sat April 10, 2010)

 

Wave Electronics has been very fortunate to continually achieve growth and success due in large to our devoted customers. We at Wave Electronics embrace the importance of our partnerships with you the dealer and feel that it is a necessity to invest into a new facility with solution driven “Tools” to continue our growth and success together in the future.

 

The new Super Facility is specifically designed and built for the needs of our dealers targeting every aspect of day to day dealer business with enhanced showrooms and a streamlined will call experience.  

 

Dedicated Dealer Showrooms

The new Super Facility will offer two types of dedicated showrooms:

 

  • “Dealer only showrooms” are contained in the Wave Electronics distribution area that include a theater room, electronics and speaker auditioning room, and a myriad of lifestyle vignettes for audio video and automation products. These showrooms are designed to give you the dealer a complete understanding and direction on what products are a perfect fit for your next bid.
  • “My Showroom” housed in the new Super Facility next door to Wave Electronics, is a full 2500 sqft experience center home complete with a full array of automation and audio video products displayed in a real world environment. “My Showroom” is an exclusive approach for our dealers to bring in their customers by appointment only basis and use it as their own. Our dealers will now have a showroom separate from the distribution side of the business that can be used to demonstrate and close whole house solutions to their customers. (Scheduled opening of “My Showroom” is second half of  2010)

 

Quicker In and out times

We realize that your time is valuable and that the time in and out of our location should be just that…QUICK! Wave Electronics new super location will offer all hand pick products or quick purchase products in a 3,000 sqft self pick area similar to the “Home Depot” style of shopping you are familiar with. Selecting obscure parts and accessories is a hands on experience that eliminates the need for you to know specific part numbers…just browse through the well merchandised area and pick the products you need in a snap!

 

Warehouse

The new Super Facility contains 35,000 sqft ware house space to accommodate more just in time inventory and overstock merchandise to better service our dealers.

 

Delivery

We do realize moving locations could cause some inconvenience for some of our dealers so we have taken steps to increase our daily delivery service to accommodate your buying habits. We do not want to interfere with your daily mode of operation and suggest that if delivery is in the best interest of your company that you give us a call to discuss the option of our delivery program.

 

That’s not all! 30 days from the opening of the Super Location, Wave Electronics will also open a second facility to better serve our dealers on the north side of Houston located 221 Barren Spring Dr, Houston TX 77090. We will announce the hard date very shortly.

 

If you have any questions about our move just give us a call, we would be more than happy to assist you. Until then, all of us here at Wave Electronics thank you for the continued support and wish you a very successful and prosperous 2010. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Mark Fukuda

Senior Vice President

New Arrival: BDI FurnitureWAVE Electronics is proud to announce we are the exclusive distributor of BDI Furniture!

 

We will meet or beat any local competitor’s price

 

BDI High Performance Furniture

 

Now in stock at all WAVE Electronics locations

 

BDI AVION8927ES

Avion 8927 is a three compartment wide home theater cabinet with integrated center channel speaker and media storage. The versatile center drawer conceals a center channel speaker (up to 7.25” tall) and media storage or may be removed for speakers up to 8.25” tall. The best feature in my opinion is the hidden wheels!

Overall Dimensions: 22.5H x 65W x 22D in

 

BDI NOVIA8426CC (Hidden subwoofer feature!)
Novia 8426 is a unique home theater cabinet that is perfect for systems with subwoofers. Usually an eyesore, the subwoofer is completely out of sight, concealed behind the left side of the cabinet. The top compartment can conceal a micro system, additional components or a speaker, while the lower cabinet provides media storage shelves

and an adjustable component compartment.

Overall Dimensions: 31H x 52W x 22D in

 

Special Features:

 

Hidden Wheels

Concealed wheels are built into the leg assemblies of home theater furniture that feature this icon. This means - even if fully loaded - the piece can be moved away from the wall by one person for easy access to cables and connections. Levelers allow the unit to be raised off its wheels, securing it in place if desired.

 

Precision Hardware

BDI’s furniture features only the finest quality materials and finishes. Sturdy

construction and steel or interlocking-panel supports provide a strong foundation for you home theater. Additionally, BDI specifies only the finest European-style hardware. Door handles and other metal details are beautifully finished. The unique soft-close hinges on most door assemblies, for example, are fully adjustable to ensure that doors hang evenly, swing smoothly and close gently.

 

Cable Management

BDI home theater furniture is engineered to keep the usual tangle of cables and connections neatly under control. Cabinets feature removable back panels for easy access to the rear components. Integrated routing channels provide space for speaker and TV cables to be neatly concealed. Open TV stands feature back panel with generous cable-routing openings. Whichever model is chosen, the user can gather and secure all cables out of sight by using the supplied Velcro® closures.

 

Flow-Through Ventilation

In order to perform at peak levels, components not only need to look cool, they have to stay cool. BDI cabinets facilitate airflow through generous ventilation slots integrated into the bottom panel, wood shelves and removable back panels. Cooler air is drawn in from the bottom of the cabinet, while hot air is naturally expelled out the back. BDI’s open TV stands are fully ventilated, with open shelving providing the ultimate in heat dispersion.

Facts and Features Volume 5We will meet or beat any local competitor’s price!

 

Product Focus #1 - Take control of your environment...from your couch.

 

Finally. The Holy Grail of convenience has descended upon us. Let's say you're enjoying a movie on your couch and you suddenly get warmer or cooler than you think you should be. Your eyes move over to the thermostat on the wall. You think to yourself "I don't want to get up and have to re-contour the couch cushions to my body." Well, guess what? Now, you don't have to walk all the way to your thermostat. 

The combination of RTI and Aprilaire is the ultimate union of reliability and comfort. On one hand, you have RTI...the rock solid remote which can control almost anything with an IR or RS232 port. On the other hand, you have Aprilaire which makes some of the smartest thermostats on the market. Together, you can have full two-way communication between your remote and your thermostat. RTI has even done the hard stuff and written the two-way drivers for you. With the drivers already written, you'll be getting real time HVAC status on your T3VZ before you know it. For those who haven't taken the RTI plunge (or those of you that fancy IP control), the 8870 can also be controlled from any personal computer, anywhere. They've even posted a cool demo here. Give it a shot. So, if you have any customers that want to stay thermally comfy from the indentation on their couch, pitch this cool combo.

 

Aprilaire Model 8870 Thermostat    RTI RK3-V

 

A typical system would need to include the following*:

• Any Zigbee RTI remote (to get the most out of the experience, the T3VZ and up are recommended)

• RTI XP8

• RTI CM232 (RS232 adapter cable)

• Aprilaire 8870 Thermostat

• Aprilaire 8811 protocol adapter

• Aprilaire 8818 (if you are using more than one 8870)

*Please bear in mind that these systems are custom for each person's house and the actual

 components may vary slightly

Product Focus #2 - Amtrust Full Circle Warranties

 

With increased competition from Big Box retailers and web sites, flat panel margins have been plummeting over the last several years.  Are you satisfied making 0-5% on a TV?   Homeowners spend millions on consumer electronics and custom integration each year.  After such an enormous purchase, peace of mind is an easy investment for homeowners to make. We make it easy to supplement your product sales with extended warranties.  Our Full Circle Coverage plans are designed to cover all things electronic, and will put profits in your pocket!

 

Specifications:

Full Circle Coverage plans are available for TVs purchased at WAVE, Big Box retailers, or any other manufacturer authorized reseller.  For larger home theater jobs, full system warranties can be purchased which cover every product that has been installed as well as labor costs for diagnostic, removal, and reinstallation of components.

 

The Process:

  1. Purchase Full Circle Coverage from WAVE Electronics
  2. Register product at digitaldeliverygroup.org or call 888-448-9333 within 30 days of purchase
  3. Give warranty certificate to customer (end-user)
  4. Customer (end-user) can file a claim by calling 888-448-9333

 

Special Features:

• 100% parts and labor coverage should your product require authorized

   service during the covered term

• Fully transferable coverage to the new owner of product

• Service available throughout the U.S. and Canada

• Unlimited number of repairs, not to exceed the product retail price

• Complementary replacement if product fails for the same reason three

   times (excludes product recalls)

Product Focus #3 - Not just your everyday IR plasma kit, it’s  much more!

 

Searching for an extra way to add dollars to your bottom line? The answer is “of course I am”. Good thing WAVE Electronics is your most complete home theater one stop shop. We are already ahead of the curve by helping you put more dollars back in your pocket with a better IR option. 

Where most other competitors only offer run of the mill IR kits, WAVE goes above and beyond with the Hot Link Pro IR system.

The ultra-sensitive eye knows which frequencies to accept and which to ignore. For example, if you have a room with a lot of fluorescent light, the eye will not let that interfere with the IR signal from the remote. Additionally, the eye is ultra thin so it can be placed almost anywhere with the included mount. If a longer cable is needed for the eye, it can be extended with standard RG6, RG6Q or RG59. On the other end, if you need to extend the emitter eyes, Microsmith also offers the Hot Link XL, which lets you extend all of the emitters over a single CAT5. So, do yourself and your customers a favor by putting the Hot Link IR kits in your bids.

On a side note, I’d like to share a story about the copper situation. In the past several months, the price of copper has fluctuated drastically. Some distributors chose to sell wire at whatever market value was that day, even though they owned the wire at a lower price. WAVE chooses to take an average of current stock and new purchases to keep more consistent and lower wire pricing across the board. It’s just one more way we try to pass savings along to you, our valued dealers. We know that wire is a staple in our industry and we wanted to go above and beyond the “norm” and made some new friends along the way.

Wave Electronics Facts and Features - Volume 4Product Focus #1 - Want to get more out of your tuner without paying for Satellite Radio?

 

Terk Powered Antenna (The Q)
 

Solution

Theses antennas will allow you to fine tune the stations you do like and phase out the stations that you do not. Also these powered antennas get rid of the UGLY dipole antenna that normally needs to be run up a wall to receive a radio signal. Best of all, it will put more dollars in your pocket.

 

Special Features:

Use the wide band tuning mode in most situations. The 8 LEDs now act like an analog tuner. Now, use the adjustable gain to achieve the best possible signal.

 

• When you want to fine tune a particular station, use the narrowing band tuning to select the
   correct  frequency. The 8 LED’s now act like an analog tuner. Now use the adjustable gain to
   achieve the best possible signal
• The Terk Q amplified antenna is an omni directional antenna that has an amplified adjustable gain
   from -26db to +6db

Product Focus #2 - Ride the Wave

 

Are you sick of wasting time compressing and crimping fittings for your RG59 or RG6 runs?  Are you sick of fittings that may or may not work with the compression or crimp tool you already have?  If so, then Planet Waves wire and fittings are for you.

 

Special Features:

Unlike other coax style cables, Planet Waves wire is neatly jacketed and bundled in 1,3,5, or 6 strands of highly flexible coax that is HD rated.  This cable is full bandwidth, broadcast quality with high impedance and low capacitance; enabling you to use it for all Audio/Video applications. The same cable can be used for everything from Component to Composite Video, Analog to Digital Audio, subwoofers, S/PDIF, even RF applications like HD Satellite and CATV. 

 

Why use Planet Waves?  All you need is a FLAT HEAD, and a CABLE CUTTER!  Simply cut the cable to your desired length then simply slip the Planet Waves RCA, F, or BNC over the jacket (no need to strip the wire just slide it over the jacket!), then just tighten down the screw located on the connector, and you’re done!  Planet Waves also makes a cable cutter that conveniently doubles as a tester!

Product Focus #3 - 40% Longer Projector Lamp Life!

 

Raise your hand if you like expensive home theater gear. Thought so. Now, raise your hand if you don't like getting the most out of your money. Yeah...thought so too. That's pretty much exactly what happens if you hook up your customer's $10,000 projector to the wall power without some kind of surge protection/power filtering.  You are all but ensuring a shorter lifespan for their prized posession.

 

Electronics of all types today are filled with microchips, capacitors and resistors that are built to such tight tolerances, they're likely to give out if you look at them funny. They just don't make 'em like they used to. Adding insult to injury, the power grid in the US is less than stellar. Hard to believe, I know. All day long, your customer's oh-so-sensitive gear is subjected to spikes and dips in power. You may not notice, but their TV's circuit board does. The easiest way to help your customer get more life out of the stuff they spent their hard earned cash on is to put a surge protector between that circuit board and the wall. Let's say your customer spends $3000.00 on a shiny, new 55" Samsung 8000 series LED. What's another $200? For merely 6.6666666667% of the cost of their TV, they can add a little peace of mind. (For more peace of mind, see AMT extended warranties.)

 

 The Furman AC215 is a compact, fully functional surge protector that can be added to a single display. Whether it's a flat panel or a projector, there's sensitive stuff in there and your customer owes their TV a little clean power. You wouldn't make your kid drink muddy water would you?Don’t make your customer’s display drink muddy power. Also attached is a little success story from a satisfied Furman customer.

 
Furman AC215 
 

Specifications:

•Dimensions: 1.75” H x 5” W x 8.5” D

•Weight: 3 lbs.

•AC Current Capactiy:Input - 15 Amp capacity required Output - 15 Amps RMS (both outlets combined)

 

Special Features:

•SMP provides the highest level of protection available

•LiFT significantly reduces AC line noise

•E.V.S. protects equipment from dangerous over voltage conditions

•Zero ground contamination circuitry assures delivery of pure AC

•Compact chassis design allows for discrete, unobtrusive placement

•Included mounting brackets for installation on a flat screen television mount

•Three year limited warranty

Product Focus #2 - SI’s Black Screen = More Green $

 

You can now make more profit (GREEN $) while providing your clients with increased contrast ratio and an overall better image.  By selling the Screen Innovations Theater Reference Black Diamond, you’ll get better image depth and color saturation in almost any lighting condition thanks to the revolutionary 1.4 gain Black Diamond material.

 

Screen Innovations Theater Reference Fixed 16:9 92” Black Diamond HD 1.4 with a Black Diamond screen while being profitable!

 

Specifications:

•3.5″ Extreme contoured micro fiber frame

•Black Diamond™ HD Black 1.4 or 0.8 gain

•Easy to clean and assemble

•Bungee attachment system for Black Diamond

•2:40.1, 2.35:1, 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 formats

•Sizes ranging from 80” to 113

 

SI TRF92BD1.4

 

Special Features:

Many of today’s “theaters” are not placed in a dedicated media room but rather a “family” or “great/game” room where lighting produces an issue for most projectors/screen combinations.  The Black Diamond screen works well in a light-controlled room as well areas with no ability to control the ambient light.

 

The Black Diamond also reduces reflection of ambient light onto your customer’s floors and walls by directing more light back at the viewer creating a more vivid picture.  Your client can often lower their lamp mode to increase lamp life due to the nature of this screen equalling more savings for your client.  Now you are able to offer your client superior contrast and color accuracy by improving their projector’s performance in either a dark or bright environment.

Product Focus #3 - Affordable Premium Acoustic Panels

 

Primacoustic Broadway studio kits have been developed for typical rooms with dimensions that are common in both residential and commercial construction. These easy-to-use kits contain everything you need to address room problems such as primary reflections, flutter echo, standing waves and excessive bass. Room designs follow a variant of the LEDE concept (live-end, dead-end) whereby the source or transmit section of the room has greater dampening while the receive section is sparsely treated in effort to retain natural room ambiance.

 

London 12a™ Room Kit
The London 12a room kit includes a remarkable combination of acoustic panels and hardware that together solve many of the usual problems associated with studio acoustics. All panels are made from high density 6lb fiberglass and fully encapsulated with micromesh. Edges are resin treated to produce sharp-looking architecturally attractive lines. Panels are then covered with acoustic fabric in a choice of two neutral colors to match most room decors. The London kit comes complete with Surface Impalers to mount panels flush to walls, Corner Impalers to create the bass traps in room corners and all of the screws and wall anchors you need to do the installation. We even include the drill bit.

 

London 12a™ Room Kit includes:

Fabric wrapped fiberglass acoustic panels, all mounting hardware, impalers, wall anchors and instructions for easy installation.
 

1. Broadband Panels (2) 24" x 48" x 2"

2. Control Columns (8) 12" x 48" x 2"

3. Scatter Blocks (12) 12" x 12" x 1"

Product Focus #2- u-TRAQ by Uplink

 

You're a business owner.  Chances are, you have at least one employee that drives one of your vehicles to job sites, to your local WAVE branch for equipment and any other trips that your business requires.  Now, I know installers always go exactly where they need to go as quick as they can get there (always obeying the speed limits), never making stops along the way.  However, if you're the cynical type (or realist), Uplink u-TRAQ may be for you.

 

The u-TRAQ is a GPS vehicle tracking system that can give you a myriad of details regarding the vehicle in which it's installed.  Install takes all of 10 seconds and the online setup is super simple.  Uplink offers 2 basic tracking services.  The less expensive, which costs you around $6.50 per month, gives you 5 minute intervals of the vehicle location and not much more.  The only real option in my opinion is the $13.50 per month selection that gives you real time location, speed, idle time and downtime.  If you're going to be Big Brother, you might as well do it right...I kid. 

 

But seriously, sending trucks out is expense and any small business owner wants to make sure they are getting the most out of their money and their employees, especially in these times.  In addition to using u-TRAQ in your own vehicles, they have a dealer program that lets you resell to end users for their own vehicles.  It's a great opportunity for residual income without having to do much leg work.  So, to sum it up, you need Uplink because you're a smart business man and you want to run your business as efficiently as possible.

 

Special Features

•Takes seconds to install on any late-model vehicle with an OBD-II port.

 More info on OBD here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics

•Two service options:  approximately $6.50 per month to $13.50 per month

  dealer cost (can be marked up for end users)

•Works great on company vehicles as well as your kid's vehicle

•Web based interfaced is easy to use

•Can be resold as a monitoring service for your customers

•Residual income

Product Focus #3- Put your customer's sub anywhere!

 

The Soundcast Subcast solves a dilemma that is all too common with retro installs: Where do I put the subwoofer? Many times it is expensive or impossible to run a new wire to the desired sub location. The Subcast’s technology allows you to send a LFE signal to your subwoofer wirelessly.

Wave Electronics Facts and Features - Volume 1Product Focus #1-Component or VGA over Coax
 

The last job that you did with multiple televisions in a house, did you ask yourself, “Can I just send one cable to all of these televisions and carry my High Definition content?”  If you did, we now have a way to do this.  It is using a ZV150 box to modulate a digital signal to your digital televisions.

 
Zee ZV150 
 

Special Features

•Modulate any 720p signal over existing coax to each of your digital televisions

•Picture is digital, so there is no degradation of signal to each television

•Use either component video with digital audio or VGA with digital audio. This means

  that you can also modulate your computer signal throughout the house.  Use with a

  wireless keyboard and you can use your computer in any room in the house

•When using multiple sources, combine ZeeVee with a component switcher and  you

  can see any of your sources throughout the house

•Works perfectly in a sports bar application for multiple televisions. Fewer wires to pull and gives a
  cleaner installation. Use multiple boxes with multiple sources and modulate on different channels

Product Focus #2-Make Money with Power Accessories

 

With declining margin on video products, be sure to attach one of the most profitable accessories. POWER!

 

Today's power lines are plagued with RF and EMI noise. When connecting sensitive equipment to your home's power outlet, AC noise couples into your system's critical components. This AC noise masks low level signals and cripples performance. This low level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and ambience in audio, as well as the depth and clarity in video.

 

With Furman and Monster’s filtering technology, televisions, projectors, DVD players, amplifiers, and processors are fed linearly filtered AC power. This dramatically reduces noise, ensuring consistent peak operation regardless of load conditions or the time of day. For the first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio system as it should be — uncompromised.

Special Features

•Some models can be hidden behind LCD or Plasma

•Protects components from strikes and surges

•Cleans noise out of incoming power resulting in better picture quality and audio

•Most component style models can be rack mounted

•Tri Mode Circuitry: patented Tri-Mode technology protects all three power lines (Line, Neutral, Ground) via relays, MOVs, and thermal fuses. During voltage sags and swells, the relays automatically disconnect the line and neutral power lines, and sound an alarm. Tri Mode circuitry immediately reconnects power lines when voltage returns to normal operating threshold

•Zero ground contamination circuitry assures delivery of pure AC

•When employing a high quality power conditioner, you will notice far clearer, stunningly focused sound and visual images from your system. Video presentation will be crisper and colors truer with greater gray and black scale definition. As a result, you’ll see noticeably improved depth and clarity in your picture
