Just wanted to revisit an older blog post, as it definitely applies as the Cinema lineup is reaching a larger audience every week.

“We’ve had a lot of questions over the last few years of growth in the Home Theater community.  One of which is, “Hey do you have some place local I can listen to your products?”  We have found that a lot of owners don’t mind sharing that experience with a demo of our equipment.  The key is getting the two parties a method to communicate.   So we were sitting around discussing some things that we would like to see, and the conversation turned to using a Google map to help encourage this communication.

For current owners that wouldn’t mind auditioning their products for potential buyers please follow this link:

Audition list form.

The form will ask for the following information.  First name,  Zip Code for general location, Elemental Designs products available for demo, then a preferred method of contact.    All other details can be hashed out once the contact begins.  No street address is required for safety reasons.

New additions can take upwards of 24 hours to be imported to the map.

The map can be found here:

Elemental Designs audition map.

Simply zoom into your region and find the nearest placemark.  We hope this will soon become an excellent resource for those looking to hear product before their purchase.  It will also allow other enthusiasts to connect to locals with the same hobby.

If in the future you would like to be removed from the list, please email sales@edesignaudio.com “

Into Production the logo has gone, and out comes an updated A6.t cabinet.  Now the update isn’t much more then a cosmetic based feature.  After hearing for quite some time that we should feature some sort of logo on our Iowa built products we are happy to celebrate this moment with a sale on the A6.series speakers as well.

Save 20% on both the A6.t and A6.mtm until Friday April 20th 2012 @ 6 PM CST.  With this sale you are saving more then the package builder discounts, with that there will be no further discounts available.  If you’d like to add a subwoofer to a package please give us a call @ 641-792-2501.

Reg: $205
Sale Price: $164

A6.mtm Pair:

Now on to the visual goodies:

We’re throwing a crazy price tag on both the e3.8 and 13av.2 subwoofers! The 13av.2 can be had for $185 (+shipping) and the e3.8 can be had for only $40 (+shipping)!

13av.2

e3.8

All you have to do is pick your speaker, select your favorite coil configuration, put in how many you want, add to cart and off you go! Wait a couple of days and your new subwoofer will arrive via fedex. You can use these subs in a car! In your home! In a boat! As a point of reference to measure weird items in your house! Anything you want, just don’t void that 5 year warranty! But as the title says, there are a limited quantity. So you definitely don’t want to hesitate if you want in on this deal.  If you are also looking for amplifiers for 12v applications, please give us a call for some amazing deals on Avionixx amplifiers.

Crazy.

February 15th:

Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s day, if you are looking for some products today that were here yesterday but gone today.  It may be that you missed this blog. Starting today we are streamlining things back with a few of the models going on hiatus to allow us to focus on getting specific models back in stock and shipping within 1-3 days of order.  Now if you were looking for something specific, please feel free to give us a call.  There will also be a few products hitting the website over the next week, so keep an eye out for those release blogs as well.

Also please note that custom projects are still welcome: flat packs, unloaded enclosures, the occasional snake cage, etc.  Just give us a call and we can go over pricing and options available for any of these projects.  We like custom projects, and with the streamlining of production models right now they will help production get a small break in the sea of cabinets they will be producing.

You’ll be seeing this show up as a logo in a little bit, just wanted to show with a little bit of fun that all of our cabinets are made in IOWA:

This is something that we are extremely proud of and happy to have this with our speakers.  I’d guess that it will wind up on the cabinets soon as well.  With some of the cabinets having it shown externally, while others will show it internally due to size constraints.

Speaking of being proud, check out the latest review of the EL8.3t speakers over on Goodsound.com.  The compliment of being a bit on the “old school” side of things makes us smile.  Solid construction, built here in Newton, Iowa from better materials. =)

What is SOPA?

Many websites world wide are shutting down or alerting people to the dangers of SOPA. We join them in making people aware of SOPA and encourage individuals to contact their congressman or fill out one of the many online forms.

I did.

Howdy guys (and gals)!

Starting February 15th we will be making quite a few temporary changes to the product lineup.  The reason is to focus on core products, to focus on what makes us who we are, and to have immediate supply for our highest demand items.  From now until February 15th, we will be focusing on satisfying all current orders on all of these products.  If you see anything on the list that you were on the fence about getting, now is the time to put that order in; as after February 15th the following items will be on a full hiatus (or have extremely limited quantities from our final push before the hiatus):

Home Subwoofers:

DIY kits:

So you might be thinking, “Well, geez. That’s a big list. What products will you guys have available after February 15th?”

Available products AFTER February 15th:

Our goal and focus is to have these items in stock and shipping same day at all times. When it comes down to making decisions like this, it is never easy, but it’s always necessary when discussing the growth and future of the company. We are still 100% open to doing custom items as well, so feel free to call us if you have ideas or need something custom done.

Again, if you want anything that is on the website right now that is headed for hiatus/sabbatical, make sure to put the order in before February 15th. This isn’t a change that will last forever as these items or their updates will return when the time is right. But that time just isn’t right now.

There’s a spot in the forum you can openly discuss these changes that can be found here: http://forum.edesignaudio.com/showthread.php/were-making-some-changes-starting-76834.html?p=621402#post621402

The main lobby area of the Elemental Designs HQ is in need of a re-design.  For the last 6 years it has been all car audio reviews and magazine covers.  We are now looking at our customer base to assist in the decorating.

What we want to do is frame some of our customers photographs, they can be of anything from our home audio line, or DIY that you built with our speakers.

It can be of the entire room, close ups of the speakers, or really anything. Here are some great examples.

Photo submissions can be done here:  Elemental Designs Forum or by emailing brettb@elementaldesigns.com

Please include the products you are running so we can include them in the photo.

The top 3 photos will also receive a special prize.
