Active Thermal Cool-Line
This slim, linear styling makes it ideal for use below flat-panel displays, or mounted on kick panels where quiet cooling is required and space is limited. Powerful but quiet cross-flow fans move air in or out of the enclosure to be ventilated. Temperature controlled and multi-speed, the fans are completely automatic. The aluminum Cool-Line systems ship configured to exhaust heated air from enclosures, but are easily changed in the field for use as intake devices. Wood Cool-Line versions must be ordered as either intake or exhaust models. Matching grilles, both metal and wood, are available without fans to trim passive openings.

"Just a quick email to thank you for recommending Subcast for our wireless installation needs. A truly perfect solution. Transmitting a full spectrum signal, the product is entirely suited to our needs, connecting a pair of Bose 901's as a second pair or 'rear' speakers in the main room. "
Cheers John

"Thanks for the reminder Phil.
A big thanks to LeisureTech also, for the manufacture training sessions at the expo. It’s much easier to talk to customers about products when I’ve had the hands on experience and had them explained to me. It should reignite some enthusiasm for me and some sales. "
