as the consumer electronics market continues to evolve, capitol contin-ues to set the standard for helping residential and light commercial installers and dealers throughout the

u.S. by giving them the knowledge and support they need to grow their businesses in any eco-nomic scenario, but especially challenging ones.

From home theater and telephone to integrated home systems and commercial a/v, capitol offers the latest in technology from more than 140 leading manufacturers. the company stocks more than 5,000 products, with more vendors and in-demand lines being added all the time, so that electronic system contractors and retailers don’t have to commit financial resources to carrying inventory.

as the advent of no new (long) Wires technologies picks up speed, capitol is com-mitted to being the distribution leader in this burgeoning category by featuring the most promising and profitable options from leading vendors, which in turn are introducing highly efficient powerline carrier (plc) technology products, wireless, existing low voltage wire, and more.

no matter what the application, capitol’s experienced staff is ready to help professionals design and install systems that will keep them

ahead of the curve. capitol built its reputation by enlisting industry professionals to serve its clientele. the company’s sales team boasts frontline experience as integrators, dealers and technology specialists. their background and expertise continually prove to be assets as they help customers understand and promote the benefits of important new technologies that offer tremendous opportunity in the current market.

in 2009, the company embarked on its first capitol Sales learning institute – regional Out-reach program. this year, the program grew into an aggressive program that typically features key vendors providing a soup-to-nuts education in the most relevant new products and tech-nologies in their lines, as well as proven tools and techniques for increasing sales through cost-effective marketing and business manage-ment practices.

as the market evolves, so does the number of ways in which capitol serves its clients. For instance, the company recently launched a new Web 2.0 site that is 100% intuitive, giving visi-tors easy access to all the product information they need. capitol considers the site (www.capi-tolsales.com) the ultimate source of information on the products and technologies that offer the best profit-building opportunities for light com-mercial and residential systems professionals.

Of course, the most important aspect of customer service is timely shipping. More than 98.5 percent of orders capitol receives are shipped the same day, through 6 p.m. central time. Orders placed online are shipped free when delivered via upS parcel to a primary business location.

capitol’s president and cFO, curt Hayes, sums it up best when he says: “as much as we’d like to think that the business will return to the peak of the pre-2008 market, the fact is today’s professionals need to stay abreast of the many business-building options at their disposal. it’s our job to make sure our custom-ers are fully equipped to grow their businesses throughout the new Year and beyond.”

CORPORATE PROFILE

dealers purchasing equipment wholesale from cWr electronics receive our pledge of meticulous service, absolute lowest pricing, and the widest selection of whole-

sale products available anywhere. this power-ful combination positions cWr as the most customer-oriented distributor in the industry and results in the most gratifying and lucrative wholesale shopping experience for dealers of wholesale products anywhere.

Originally located in Somers point, new Jersey, cWr formed in 1981 as a wholesale marine electronics supplier with a modest dealer base of only 4 customers. as the business ex-panded, new lines beyond the scope of whole-sale marine electronics, such as wholesale gpS products, were incorporated. today, cWr has a master distribution center located in Bayville, new Jersey, and a dealer base that numbers in the thousands.

in our commitment to always offer our deal-ers the very best, cWr electronics launched a fully interactive website in 2001. the website

has many service advantages for our dealers of wholesale electronics. it offers the ability to order online 24/7/365 for dealers that may be located in other time zones across the country and overseas. additionally, our dealers can check live inventory so they know that items ordered are available and ready to ship the same day. We will drop ship to any location in the world using our dealer’s shipping label and packing slip, with no extra fees or minimum order sizes. Online order tracking is another advantage we have added for our dealers.

the interactive website shaped up as a great tool for our dealers, but we thought we could make it even better. We added product images, descriptions and shipping weights. these added features offer our dealers an extra advantage because they have all the information they need to close the sale, with numbers they can count on!

the cWr sales and management staff has over 30 years of experience selling wholesale products. this collective experience, coupled with the powerful tools we offer online, provides

our customers with a distinct advantage over their competition and assures that their ques-tions are answered and needs are met in a timely fashion. as we plan for future growth, our promise to our customers remains strong: We will continue to work on other developments that will give them the ultimate advantage in the wholesale marine electronics industry.

cWr is a factory authorized distribu-tor for over 150 manufacturers. We have the most extensive selection of wholesale marine electronics, recreational and consumer related electronics and accessories available anywhere. the products we offer are in stock in our own warehouse, not in the manufacturers’. various industries served include: Marine, camping, running, Sporting goods, climbing, cycling, training/Fitness, golf, consumer electronics, auto, recreational vehicles – and more – all housed in our Bayville, new Jersey, warehouse. With a list of products that extensive, is it any wonder why cWr is recognized as the leading wholesale distributor in the marine electronics industry?

d&H distributing has been serv-ing the dealer, retailer and reseller community for 93 years. the company delivers a multi-divisional product assortment, spanning

the areas of consumer electronics, mobility, home entertainment, home networking and automation, small office/home office, video surveillance, digital imaging, video gaming and more. it focuses on emerging technologies and personalized service, offering dedicated account reps, flexible credit options and value-based programs, carrying thousands of skus from hundreds of manufacturers.

d&H’s sales model is rooted in the tradition of taking a hands-on role in achieving its custom-ers’ goals. Originally a regionally based company, d&H built its business by providing dutiful support to its customer base, delivering consultative industry knowledge and identifying sales op-portunities to help each account grow within that limited territory. Since then, d&H has extended its geography across north america—but has never deviated from the formula that made it successful: Find each customer’s unique needs, proactively help them succeed, and we’ll all prosper together.

every d&H customer is assigned a dedicated account representative, regardless of size. the account manager serves as a per-sonal, seasoned industry consultant, working closely with his or her customers more on the order of a vested partner in the customer’s ongoing business strategy, as opposed to just a salesperson. Many of our representa-tives have seven or more years’ tenure. Our cross-divisional expertise allows those reps to offer advice on comprehensive, room-by-room solution sales, from an entire home theater set-up with new 3d components, to a fully connected outdoor living space. d&H’s staff can offer guidance on the best way to increase sales, whether by adding related accessories to one-off product transactions, or by helping the customer expand its core competencies through new niche markets.

d&H employs ecologically conservative shipping and automation processes through-out its five distribution centers, which deliver accurate order fulfillment and custom-shipping capabilities within two days to customers in most of the uS. Special services such as drop-ship capabilities and just-in-time inventory let

dealers and retailers take advantage of d&H’s warehouses to accommodate extended prod-uct offerings while keeping their own shelves stocked with top-selling items.

the distributor offers a range of support programs, including $40M in expanded credit issued in 2009 and $20M more in 2010 through the Business assurance program. Other offer-ings include an “incentives” rewards plan with a newly expanded range of prizes and manu-facturer participants; and special, vendor-based promotions developed with its partners on an ongoing basis. the dandh.com website is con-stantly evolving, offering tools such as a brand new digital Home guide, which identifies hot, holiday items and assembles them into full-room solutions throughout the home; a d&H calendar function, which posts daily news and product information; a “green” product search to locate environmentally efficient merchandise; and educational presentations such as the “d&H tv” streaming media webisodes.

all in all, d&H has the product breadth, expertise and service to function as a trusted, one-stop resource for its dealers, etailers and retailers.

Etymotic Research, Inc.

etymotic research is exhibiting at ceS in 2011 with new products, more varied pricing and expanded international distribution to reach a larger audience that includes

retail, specialty and cellular partners. etymotic welcomes new dealer and distributor inquiries focused on serving enthusiast consumers in all related channels.

etymotic research is an engineering-driven research, development and manufacturing com-pany that spans an impressive 27-year history of innovative, practical and high-fidelity solutions to challenging hearing and hearing-loss prevention issues. in 1983, after two decades of design-ing transducers such as precision microphones and receivers for hearing aids, Dr. Mead Killion founded etymotic research to design products that accurately assess and protect hearing, improve the lives of those with hearing loss, and enhance the listening experience of musi-cians and music lovers everywhere. etymotic’s engineering team is led by Dr. Killion, an audiolo-gist, engineer, inventor and jazz musician. audio engineers, musicians and audiologists working together have generated over 100 patents is-sued and pending.

With deep roots in acoustics, etymotic

research pioneered in-ear technology in 1984 with earphones used primarily for acoustic research and clinical testing. each successive innovation up through the present has refined this technology for different user groups.

etymotic’s newest technology applies a patent-pending, response-shaping process that corrects known defects of moving coil drivers. termed accu·chamber™ technology for its unique sound path, the construction creates an acoustic side branch that redistributes acoustic energy to smooth undesirable response peaks and compensates for the weak high-frequency response characteristic of dynamic drivers. the result is excellent sound quality at lower cost, which is virtually indistinguishable from etymot-ic’s renowned sound signature in Micropro and hf-series products.

Models in the mc-series include the mc5 earphones and mc3 headset with 3-button remote control. the mc3 headset is Made for ipod, iphone and ipad.

analyses by independent labs of in-ear and active noise-canceling headphones indi-cate that etymotic earphones have the highest noise isolation of all earphones (in some cases twice as much). Frequency response accuracy is highest by a significant margin. Optimal

acoustic performance and best noise isola-tion are achieved when the ears are sealed, an attribute of all etymotic earphone and headset products. research has proven that listeners choose safer levels when they use earphones that seal the ears. a new custom·Fit op-tion complements an assortment of eartips, for extended wear and ultimate personalized comfort.

during a project with the noise committee of the chicago Symphony Orchestra in the mid 1980s, Dr. Killion realized there was a need for custom Musicians earplugs that protect hearing but do not alter sound quality. a non-custom version soon followed and remains the highest fidelity earplug available anywhere. etymotic research was honored with the 2010 Safe-in-Sound award innovation award, a joint recogni-tion by the national institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the national Hearing conservation association for its “pioneering technical expertise, remarkable influence, ardent support and essential sponsorship of hearing loss prevention research, services, products and public outreach.”

the name “etymotic” (pronounced “et-im-oh-tik.”) means “true to the ear.” www.etymotic.com

With SYnneX corporation’s acquisition of Jack of all games in March, 2010, the company now gives consumer electronics retailers the power to also include total gaming experience bundles as a part of their home entertainment portfolio.

in just the past year alone, new age elec-tronics and Jack of all games bundling program

has realized an increase of 193%. retailers have taken advantage of this comprehensive program because it enables their sales team to do consultative selling and provides consum-ers with one, convenient and comprehensive solution versus selling individual products solely on price point. new age electronics’ bundling programs also reflect important seasonal trends when consumers are inclined and motivated to purchase new products including back-to-school, holiday, Super Bowl and more.

new age electronics is also helping retailers maximize profits and better manage returned goods by providing refurbishment solu-tions, which incorporate margin-rich refurbished goods into their line-up. With new age’s refur-bishment programs, retailers not only eliminate waste by finding opportunities to put returned or dated product back into the mix, but also increase their profitability while doing so. Since these items are often priced 30 percent lower

than a comparable new product, it pays to put them back on the shelf and quickly.

Superior logistics continue to be a hallmark of new age electronics through their Supply chain Solutions program, formally known as SYnneX FlexSource. With 12 strategic distribu-tion centers located throughout the country, the company is better equipped to help minimize product touch points, which ensures that retail-ers get products faster and for less. new age electronics monitors their inventories, shipping and logistics on a monthly basis for continual improvements, and these increased cost efficien-cies are passed on to retailers for added savings.

their progressive approach and innovative solutions add up to more profits for a retailer’s bottom line. new age electronics invites you to call to discuss how they can help you do more business with less and provide the right ce experiences and product offerings that drive customers to your store.

Samsonic Trading Co.

Since doors opened for business in 1971, Samsonic has been expand-ing rapidly by continuing to create more and more ways to satisfy cus-tomers. initially, Samsonic special-

ized in distribution of brand name groups includ-ing but not limited to canon, Olympus, pentax, casio, and Fuji. Soon after, Samsonic broadened its horizons by distributing almost every item the consumer electronics market has to offer.

Years later, Samsonic founders nessim, Joe and david Hadef, had a new vision for the company. after noticing that the camera industry had few dependable, quality items, for an affordable, everyday price, the Hadefs quickly got to work. a strategic decision was made to partner with the Sharper image to obtain a license for new products. Soon after, Samsonic introduced their Sharper image line of cameras and camcorders with hot features such as 1080p Hd and waterproof capabilities. One of our best selling products is the Wp5, a

waterproof 5Mp digital camera that retails for just $69.95! it comes in a dashing metallic blue, attracting the eyes of customers countrywide. another hot seller is the Hd920, a 1080p touch screen 5Mp camcorder that retails for just $199! each Sharper image product is designed to incorporate the latest advances in digital tech-nology with a focus on ease of use. Samsonic’s Sharper image line was a smashing success, attracting major retailers such as Macy’s, Jc penny, Best Buy and lord and taylor.

Samsonic’s Sharper image line made a dra-matic entrance into the market and Samsonic quickly became one of the world’s leading man-ufacturers. “these significant strategic alliances are a testament to the strength of the Sharper image brand and will complement our overall assortment of consumer offerings,” states Fed-erico de Bellegarde, vice president of licensing at the Sharper image. “there has been consid-erable interest to license the brand and we are carefully selecting partners to cover a host of

categories. these additions and renewals to our roster of licensees shall continue to position the Sharper image brand as a leader in innovative and technology-rich lifestyle products.”

the Sharper images motto: quality, in-novation, design is the perfect way to describe Samsonic. We bring you fresh, easy-to-operate, eye-catching products at an unbelievable price. at any age, people all over the world are enjoy-ing the benefits of our Sharper image products. Your complete satisfaction with our products is our ultimate goal. each Sharper image product is designed to incorporate the latest advances in digital technology while also being easy to use. We pledge to continue to design fashion-able, cutting edge consumer electronic prod-ucts manufactured under strict quality control guidelines and in an environmentally friendly process. it is our hope that this commitment to your needs and expectations will result in your consideration of other Sharper image products in the future.

Sanus designs and builds a broad variety of home av furnishings, tv and speaker wall mounts, speaker stands, and accessories to thou-sands of major consumer retailers,

professional av dealers and system integrators around the world.

the company was formed in 1986 by Jim Wohlford as a producer of audiophile grade speaker stands for the residential market. in 2004, chief Manufacturing and Sanus com-bined to form chief Sanus audio visual (cSav),

which was later updated to Milestone av technologies. the duchossois group (tcg), a privately held investment group, purchased Milestone av technologies in 2008.

throughout its history Sanus has prided itself on innovation. in 2002, Sanus was the first company to introduce a universal mount for flat-panel televisions. prior to this, each bracket was designed to fit a specific tv. With the vMpl50 mount, Sanus developed the “virtual axis™” mechanism which allows users to tilt the view-ing angle of a tv with the touch of a finger.

Other featured technologies the company has developed include proSet™, which lets users make micro-adjustments to the height and level of the tv after installation, and Followthru™, an innovative in-arm cable channel that protects and conceals cables the entire length of the extension arm for a clean appearance.

product safety is also a guiding principle of Sanus. each wall mount produced by Sanus is tested and meets ul certification. When installed properly, every Sanus wall mount will hold four times its rated weight.

celebrating its 30-year anniversary in 2010, Scosche is still 100% family owned and operated with over 120 great people alongside them. Sco-sche industries began in February

1980 as a research and consulting company for other manufacturers. Scosche’s initial business goal was to provide both the novice and profes-sional installer with the most up-to-date informa-tion on installation techniques for a variety of vehicles. Companies such as Alpine, Kenwood, craig, pioneer, Jensen and Harada all used Sco-sche to provide them with vehicle information.

through their research, they realized that dedicated installation kits, to achieve ease of installation and a perfect factory-like fit without cutting the dash area, would soon become “the

necessary accessory”. they then designed and patented kits for the most popular vehicles, allowing installation of almost any head unit in place of the stock system.

Founded on innovation, Scosche continues to diversify its product lines with a full line of iphone and ipod accessories. these cutting-edge accessories continue to lead the industry with unique, award-winning products including cases, chargers, remote controls, earphones, cables and mounts.

Scosche continues to expand its after-market accessories with new products includ-ing Bluetooth interfaces, gpS and navigation accessories, handsfree Bluetooth accessories, stereo replacement interfaces and factory ipod integration interfaces.

Scosche industries continues to market the products that founded the company with Scosche’s signature “Custom Kit, Factory Fit” dash and wiring installation kits for most new domestic and import vehicles.

in addition to these signature products, the following are some of the products Scosche industries markets through its four different brands: award-winning high-end power wire, platinum plated distribution blocks and audio cable; sound damping and heat insulation mate-rial; and high-end speakers and amps. Scosche industries currently holds 70 patents for its innovative product designs and markets distinct brand lines including eFX®, realM®, Blue-Fusion®, e2®, accumat® and the signature Scosche® line.

another innovative program developed by Service net was “easy Mobile tech”. this program provided retailers with access to their

own network of in-home technology technicians without incurring the cost of hiring their own staff and support infrastructure.

CORPORATE PROFILE

a trend was building. Homeowners across the country were migrat-ing to their backyards, taking the best of their indoor spaces to the great outdoors. With the installa-

tion of outdoor fireplaces, kitchens, heaters and protected patios, families were creating outdoor living spaces that, in some climates, could be enjoyed year-round.

In Moorpark, California, Larry Kaiser, ceO of an av manufacturing company saw this trend as an opportunity. He believed that if people were spending more time outdoors, then television entertainment would soon be in demand. Kaiser manufactured commercial outdoor solutions for quick-service drive-thru restaurant displays, so he had the knowledge and infrastructure to develop an outdoor tv. He contacted tom Weaver, a long time friend and highly-skilled and experienced electro-mechanic engineer and entrepreneur to propose a part-nership.

the duo pooled their extensive experience and resources and established SunBritetv llc. as they designed the first all-weather tv, their

objective was to build a tv that would be rug-ged and durable enough to be permanently in-stalled outdoors and withstand the vast climatic conditions across north america.

they integrated an lcd panel within a powder-coated aluminum all-weather exterior that would protect the internal components from rain, snow, insects and dust. they added cooling fans and thermostatic heaters to guard against extreme weather temperatures and condensation, and an anti-reflective window for added protection and improved viewing. to keep the cables dry, they designed an innova-tive watertight cable pass-through entry system.

When SunBritetv rolled out the first 20.1-inch outdoor lcd television in 2004, customers quickly grasped the concept and the demand for the tvs grew exponentially. today, the company provides a full line of 22-, 32-, 46- and 55-inch lcd Hd televisions with a full line of weather-resistant mounting solutions.

in an effort to expand their market reach, SunBritetv recently introduced two new tvs to their product line. Model 3230Hd is the company’s 32-inch Hd lcd tv. this tv is

value-engineered with SunBritetv’s signature all-weather feature-set, and outdoor-rated aSa plastic resin exterior. the result is a sleek, lighter-weight, lower-priced tv, without compromising the durability and quality that SunBritetv customers have learned to trust. On the high-end, SunBritetv introduced Model 5510Hd. Sporting a 55-inch 1080p full Hd lcd screen with a 120 Hz. refresh rate, this tv is ideal for homeowners who are looking for home-theater quality viewing in their outdoor space.

also new to SunBritetv’s line-up this year is Model 2220Hd, a 22-inch lcd tv that is designed for the up-close and personal viewing areas such as spa, barbecue and other areas where space is at a premium.

SunBritetv’s outdoor tv concept and product line provides excitement and profit-ability for both small and large retailers. their all-weather tvs can be found in small- and medium-sized electronic stores throughout the uS, and more recently in online retail outlets such as Best Buy, Sears and target, with more in-store placement due on the horizon.

TechCraft Manufacturing Inc.

techcraft is a leading designer and wholesaler of electronics and enter-tainment furniture. techcraft was originally founded in 1974 as a divi-sion of major Japanese electronics

company. during those formative years, tech-craft employees garnered a deep appreciation for the essential elements of design and quality.

those lessons were first applied to the private-label (or OeM) markets. But in the last decade, techcraft has expanded to designing and building products under its own brand for retailers around the world.

today techcraft is a global company with our corporate office in Montreal and branch offices in toronto and north carolina as well as sourcing offices in Singapore and taiwan.

Our Montreal-based design team is con-stantly looking for ways to address the ever evolving consumer electronics industry as well as other areas of home furnishings. in concert

with this, our sourcing offices are always on the lookout for factories that we can truly partner with to provide a stable and high quality source of furniture to our valued customers.

at techcraft, we believe that our major strength has been our ability to adapt to chang-ing conditions in the marketplace. We have tran-sitioned through many extraordinary changes in the past few decades and today we stand as a strong, stable, current and extremely reliable supplier. From the days of speaker stands and component racks to the days of tube televisions to the new world of ultra slim panels, tech-craft’s product line and thought process have always evolved with one goal in mind—being responsive, giving our dealer base a steady and dependable source of profits in an increasingly complex and slender margin marketplace.

We have steadily worked to increase dealer aSps during the time of flat panel price attri-tion as well as provided dealers new reasons

to bring consumers to their stores. Our recent introduction of 23 new models of Quick-Fit no tools required credenzas and television stands has been extremely well received by our dealers and the consumers they serve. Our already low return rates have dropped even further due to the fact that much of the new furniture we build involves no tools or hardware parts.

ultimately at techcraft, we believe that what sets us apart is not our products or sourc-ing capability, but our ability to constantly deliver results to our customers. Whether it’s new and innovative products, incredibly low return rates, super fast shipping times or an excellent in-stock record, techcraft is constantly focused on delivering results to our customers and exceed-ing their expectations—and that focus is widely valued within the industry.

changed. Our new logo reflects our readiness to show urc customers, resellers and integrators en-tirely new ways to control their digital experiences, and communicates that those ways are not limited just to our remotes.

With the MrX-10 ad-vanced network System controller at the core, our new total control™ lineup includes the dMS-1200 network Multi-Zone amplifier, Snp-1 Streaming network player, two new 2-way handheld remotes, a 2-way in-wall keypad, a 2-way in-wall network touchscreen and ip surveillance cameras.

We’re now much more than remotes. urc now offers holistic control solutions for homes and busi-nesses. Our attractive value proposition of affordabil-ity, functionality and scalability fills a growing need in today’s marketplace—and tomorrow’s.
