"The AV Technology 'Out of the Box Award' was created to recognize original thinking, creativity, and design in a digital signage installation. But make no mistake, this is about way more than hardware or software—it's about pushing the imaginative terrain. In 2015, the inaugural winner is the Viacom HQ install at 1515 Broadway in NYC. With dynamic and immersive elements, interactivity, sleek design, dazzling visuals, a smart infrastructure, and a live content management strategy would make any media company jealous, this AV project sets a new standard. The AV Technology team congratulates everyone involved in this project, and hopes it serves as a stellar example of innovation for the AV industry." — Margot Douaihy, editorial director of NewBay Media's AV Technology, Eduwire, and Tech Manager Today

Following the successful launch of the LUCIA concept with four low-impedance models, Lab.gruppen now has extended its range cost-effective power amplifiers with addition of two dedicated 70V output models: LUCIA 120/1-70 and LUCIA 240/1-70. With power ratings of 120 W and 240 W respectively into a single output, the new amplifiers offer AV installers the option of driving 70V distributed loudspeaker systems while retaining the small form factor, input flexibility, build quality and GPIO facilities also featured in the LUCIA low impedance models.
