~ New SonicPrint Artistic Acoustical Panels to Benefit from Large Image Library ~

DENVER, CO – Auralex Acoustics, the industry leader in innovative sound control solutions, announced its collaboration with Hallmark Licensing at this year’s CEDIA show, opening the door to Hallmarks’ six million licensed images to be used on Auralex’s newest custom-printed acoustical panel line of products, SonicPrint.

“Auralex Acoustics is taking acoustical treatments to the next level through our collaboration with Hallmark Licensing for our new SonicPrint artistic acoustical panel products,” says Tim Martin, director of sales and marketing for Auralex. “Our customers have told us they want not only great acoustics, but want more design options to express their style as well. With the help of Hallmark Licensing, we have made a giant leap forward in meeting our customer’s expectations.”

This picture perfect agreement also allows Auralex to work directly with Hallmark’s design team, which can provide additional services such as custom cropped images, etc, to be tailored specifically to Auralex’s new line of acoustical panels. For added customer convenience, Hallmark’s licensed images, including both artwork and photography, will be available on Auralex’s Web site at www.auralex.com/sonicprint.

“Hallmark Licensing is eager to begin working on this program, as this new agreement with Auralex Acoustics is the perfect marriage between our companies,” says John Oliveros, licensing director at Hallmark Licensing. “This is a great way to bring our extensive library of images into the homes of America and beyond.”

SonicPrint artistic acoustical panels are first-to-market, custom-printed ProPanels that are designed as artwork by blending unparalleled design and style options for any room, while incorporating the company’s acoustically proven technology of its ProPanel product line.

For the home theater enthusiast, this exclusive offer opens the door to numerous home theater décor options, as the acoustical panels are camouflaged under the design of the customer’s choice. Users are no longer limited to single color fabric choices, and can now outfit any space with paintings and drawings of any kind. Auralex is also currently negotiating several licensed properties to provide additional graphic options.

Auralex ELiTE ProPanels are designed to reduce unwanted room reflections, slap and flutter echoes and provide a more pleasing and accurate listening environment. ELiTE ProPanels have a fiberglass core with chemically-hardened edges. From stock 2’x2’x1” and 2’x4’x1” panels perfect for small room environments, to custom 4’x8’x2” panels enabling full-frequency control of large spaces, ELiTE ProPanels provide professional, aesthetically-pleasing acoustic treatment in any facility. All ProPanels meet the Class A fire rating per ASTM E84, use in areas with strict fire codes. Standard wall-mounting hardware is included with all orders for easy installation.
