Nashville, TN - April 3rd, 2024 - The Mobile Electronics Certified Professional Program (MECP) has launched two new Specialist courses and exams to provide education and certification for technicians highly focused on specific industry tasks or roles. The two new courses are on the MECP Learning Portal Courses page. In addition, new two-year certificate length options are now available for most certifications.

The MECP Light Duty Fleet Services Specialist is tailored for technicians who install, maintain, troubleshoot, or service standard fleet vehicles. The MECP Autosound Specialist is honed in on the audio upgrade and integration technicians. Both offer these techs the ability to increase their knowledge and grow their expertise in these areas without getting frustrated with other education areas they do not need for their job path or role. Each of these certifications will be supplemented with a higher-level certification version focusing on more advanced applications, like heavy-duty vehicles like tractor-trailers, buses, and farm equipment for the fleet side in the future.

"These new courses complement our long-standing Product Technology Specialist certification for sales specialists and our recent Security & Convenience specialist certifications, aligning what we offer with the expertise that retailers and technicians need to both benefit from and promote to their customers," said Kris Bulla, MECP president.

Access to the new courses and the new 2-year versions of the applicable certifications is already available on the newly refreshed Mobile Electronics Certified Professional (MECP) Program website.

By leveraging advanced monitoring technology and proactive enforcement strategies, the partnership aims to create a cleaner and more transparent online marketplace for Race Sport Lighting's products.

"We are thrilled to partner with Race Sport Lighting in their mission to preserve brand value, profitability for their dealers, and combat online pricing discrepancies," said Tom Ameduri, National Account Manager of MAP Services.

Anchorage, AK 3/11/2024 Known by so many throughout the industry as “Big Bro”, SoundShield founder and CEO, John Schwartz has earned that title by doing whatever he can to help others be their best. At the next Knowledgefest event, which takes place in Nashville, TN from April 19th through April 21st, Schwartz’s company will continue that tradition by sponsoring the seminar entitled “Cast Off the Crutches”. This seminar, which will be delivered by Jon Kowanetz of Pathways Coaching & Consulting, aims to help attendees to identify and overcome the obstacles that are holding them back from getting to where they want to go in both their personal and professional life.

Through the sharing of personal experiences with habit and behavior change, Part 1 of this seminar seeks to empower others to proudly acknowledge the areas in their own lives that they would like to change and shows them how doing so could benefit them both at home and at work. Whether the habit is as seemingly harmless as nail biting or excessive social media usage, or as destructive as alcohol and drug dependence, attendees will learn a step-by-step process to overcome it.

Part 2 of Cast Off the Crutches is a workshop that builds upon what attendees learned in Part 1, by giving them an opportunity to use that same step-by-step process to create an actual plan to change their unwanted habits and behaviors, in a way they may not have encountered before. “We all know that in order to change a habit or behavior, we must first acknowledge it,” Kowanetz said “But to create the desire to actually make that change, we need to clearly define why it is a problem for us, how much it could negatively affect our lives if we don’t change it and how much our lives could improve if we do!”

“Look, we all need to make money, sell more, install better and there are so many classes at Knowledgefest that will teach people how to do those things,” said John Schwartz of the sponsorship “But what is all that worth if we are not good within ourselves? The industry needs a class like this and SoundShield is proud to support it!”

Part 1 of “Cast Off the Crutches” will be delivered at 8:00 am on Saturday, April 20 2024 in room 103 A and Part 2 will be delivered at 10:30 am on Sunday, April 21 2024 in room 103 A, as part of the Knowledgefest Nashville event, being held at the Music City Center in Nashville
TN. Please contact Jon Kowanetz at Pathways Coaching & Consulting with any questions.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, March 13, 2024 – Eleven Engineering, Inc. (www.elevenengineering.com), a market leader in semiconductor products for wireless audio for home theater, multi-room, portable, professional, 12 Volt (car, truck, motorcycle, power sports, marine) and gaming applications, is proud to announce that Jessica Ritchie has joined the company’s growing Research & Development Design Team.

“We have seen a continued need to grow our R&D department the past couple years due to unrivaled growth for Eleven Engineering," said Rex Whitehead, Eleven Engineering executive vice president, sales & marketing. “Jessica’s education and drive make her a perfect fit for our Research & Development Design Team.”

Ritchie graduated the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering with a biomedical engineering minor. 

“I was initially drawn to Eleven Engineering because of my interest in RF technologies, and I was also intrigued that they designed their own processors as this is almost unheard of in wireless audio,” said Ritchie, whose current responsibilities include writing firmware for products such as Dillinger Labs’ Death From Below subwoofer, and improving internal software tools. “It was obvious Eleven Engineering is doing something unique and I wanted to be a part of it. Since joining, I have already learned so much about audio engineering and embedded systems, and I am very excited to be part of the team.” 

SKAA has become the go-to wireless solution for the emerging PSM (Party Speaker Market) due to its long range and the fact that no network is required. Additionally, SKAA wireless lets the integrator easily create a dedicated multi-room home audio superhighway with a range up to 150 feet with a robust, interference-free low-latency signal eliminating lip-sync issues with TV and gaming.

In environments laden with heavy Wi-Fi and Bluetooth traffic, SKAA navigates through these hostile environments with best-in-class reliability. SKAA also allows for uninterrupted audio signals that are delivered with the highest sound quality to all speakers without the latency that is inherent in other wireless solutions.

SKAA is available as a built-in technology not requiring an external transmitter in purpose-designed partner products. SKAA transmitters work with iOS & Android mobile devices, Mac & Windows computers, televisions, and just about any product with a line output or a headphone jack.

Monday, March 4, 2024 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the newly upgraded line-up of USA Made Beast subwoofers: the 9900C Series. One look at the 9900 and you know why it’s called The Beast. With 3 inches of magnet cross section over a 10 inch outer diameter and a weight of 70 pounds for the motor alone, this abomination of rage lobs clean forceful strikes of relentless fury, pummeling the air with unadulterated ruckus and attitude. Carefully wielded by a rare breed of indomitable bassheads, this ornery giant has been earning its bones from the lanes to streets for over a decade. Now, with all the features that DD-vo-tees have come to love in the new 2508G, 9500L and Z Series, this already belligerent beast is ready to be unleashed for pure audio carnage.

The 9900C combines performance redefining technologies, such as the aluminum Dual Stage rear mounted Heatsink, USA Made Iron Cloth Spider System, 2nd generation V-ROM surround, and more with the immense power of DD’s largest ferrite motor subwoofer series, optimized for a 2000 – 3200 watt power band, and the ability to handle power bursts well over 10,000 watts.

When supercharged, the 9900 motor throws nearly 9000 gauss through a 30mm deep gap, where the 8 layer coil is driven to 40mm of one way travel, with 15mm of coil still driven in the magnet gap resulting in exceptional coil control and excursion driven through the stiffest and lightest moving parts. The Free Flow Cooling System and multi-point heatsinks offer unbeatable heat dissipation to protect the high-temp insulated voice coil. The non-pressed carbon fiber loaded pulp cones are made to be incredibly light and strong, with the audibly distinguishable quality of being handmade in the USA.

Custom 9900C Series subwoofers can be ordered through your local dealer or if you don’t have one, directly by contacting DD AUDIO. Among the custom options are DD’s in-house fabricated composite sandwich cones and dust caps. These feature ultralight CnC machined foam-cores sandwiched between layers of Kevlar, carbon fiber, and S-glass for even greater durability in applications where that’s needed. They can be made in a variety of colors to match any aesthetic. All cones and dust caps are fabricated at DD AUDIO’s headquarters in Oklahoma City, OK and are assembled by hand with aerospace grade epoxy.
