Sanus Introduces The “Designer” Furniture Series By Cramer Studio



By Gary Reber



Sanus Systems® has announced a new series within its AV Foundations™ furniture line scheduled for shipment in mid May. Appropriately named the "Designer Series," this collection of AV component stands was created exclusively for Sanus by renowned industrial design firm Cramer Studio, which had previously designed the Sanus AV Foundations™ Component Series.

Models DFAV30, a four-shelf component stand, and the three-shelf DFV49 lowboy offer the perfect balance of aesthetic appeal and functionality for today's AV user. Each unit features a unique combination of elegant mocha-finished hardwood legs and smoked tempered glass for the top, sides, shelves and doors. A number of design features allow for optimal performance of the user's AV equipment, including:

Smoked tempered glass for an enclosed look that doesn't interfere with infrared remote control signals (even when the doors are closed)

Spacious shelves designed to accommodate large AV gear

Generous cable management channel for concealing and routing wires behind the furniture

Steel back panels which can be removed individually for easy maintenance and to allow for
additional depth

Multi-adjustable hinges for smooth movement and perfect alignment of doors

Convection cooling system that allows heated air to escape through the top as cool air is drawn in through the bottom

The DFAV30 includes four shelves and six removable back panels and supports TVs up to 37 inches, where the DFV49 has three shelves and four removable back panels and supports TVs up to 52 inches. The products list for $429.99 (DFAV30) and $449.99 (DFV49) USD. For information on product dimensions or shelf size/capacity, please visit www.sanus.com.
