Peerless launches connectors range
Peerless-AV Europe has launched an AV cables and interconnects range, designed by connectivity guru Ray Phillips and Peerless’ own Jim Edwards.
Offered in four quality tiers, ‘Ultimate’, ‘Best’, ‘Better’ and ‘Good’ - including an ultra-thin Slimline HDMI - the range is intended to offer a connection solution to multiple end-users, with the ‘Ultimate’ Omega heading up an HDMI range which uniquely provides HDMI 1.4 specification from a premium £149.99, to a super-affordable £39.99 from the ‘Better’ Delta.
“The Peerless AV Connectivity range is just what the market has been waiting for,” says Gordon Dutch, Managing Director of Peerless-AV Europe. “A range of top-to-bottom cables which suit all types of end-users, and provide - with the Ultimate and Best options - the last-word in cable technology for today’s high-end screens and source products, particularly the up-and-coming 3D launches and super-slim LED TVs.”
Omega has been designed to offer the ultimate performance from high-end home cinema equipment, in particular the forthcoming 3D Blu-Ray and TV displays coming from companies such as Panasonic and Samsung, and is available in 1 and 2 metre lengths, at £129.99 and £149.99.
Pictured here, Sigma (’Best’) complements Omega as a more affordable high-end solution, with HDMI, stereo RCA, digital coaxial, digital optical and Scart. The Sigma HDMI costs £69.99 for 1 metre and £89.99 for 2 metre lengths.
The ultra-thin, 2 metre Slimline (’Specialist’) is intended for connecting to wall-mounted super-slim LED TVs. It has been specially tooled with a 90 degree connector at one end that only projects 14mm from the rear of the screen once fitted, and has a low profile 3mm flat cable. Designed to complement the HCD award-winning Peerless Slimline wallmounts range - enabling screens to be positioned closer to the wall than ever before - it is also HDMI 1.4 and costs £59.99.
The Delta (also ‘Better’) series is intended for those wanting to up the ante on performance - with a mid-range, superior upgrade within reach of the typical consumer. Delta is available in 1, 2 and 5 metre lengths across nine different cable options, including HDMI 1.4 (also available in 3 metre lengths), component, Scart, digital coaxial and digital optical - 17 product options in total. The HDMI option costs £39.99 for 1 metre and £49.99 for 2 metre lengths.
Alpha (’Good’) is the ideal ‘first upgrade’ cable, a represents a significant improvement from cabling generally supplied with AV equipment. There are 25 cable options in total, including HDMI, component, Scart, digital coaxial and digital optical, at 1, 2 and 5 metre lengths. All Peerless cables and interconnects make extensive use of easy-to-understand icons to allow the consumer to choose the right cable for them, showing clearly which AV component can be connected to another.
