HOLLY HILL, FL, January 04, 2011 (Press-News.org) Metra Electronics, known for 60 years as a leader in innovative automobile accessories, announced today the introduction of the new Audio Solutions home and consumer product line. Audio Solutions - More Than Just Great Sound.

Audio Solutions' flagship products include 3.1 TV Audio Mount and 2.1 TV Audio Mount, proprietary product designs that blend functional convenience with a premium audio system. These patent pending products simplify consumer installation of flat panel TVs by integrating a sturdy wall-mount bracket with a subwoofer and speakers, revolutionizing the ever-growing flat panel TV market. The 3.1 model adjusts to fit any 37" to 60" screen, and the 2.1 model adjusts to fit any 32" to 55" screen.

The audio technology incorporated into these revolutionary products rivals stand-alone speakers of various price points. Each TV Audio Mount system incorporates D'Appolito arrangements utilizing dual mid-bass drivers and complementary, silk dome tweeters to provide low distortion and smooth vocal quality. The subwoofer is a proprietary woofer with a combination of high excursion and very shallow overall depth. It is loaded into a patented, acoustic manifold that increases efficiency, reduces distortion, and controls cone motion for high impact, high output bass. The 3.1 TV Audio Mount also incorporates Dolby ProLogic II for enveloping seamless, natural surround sound instead of hearing ordinary two-channel audio.
