TRUFIG contributes to brilliant architecture and interior design by subtraction

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/09/2010 -- DSI Entertainment Systems, a leading Electronic Systems Contractor specializing in home theater, home automation, and custom audio video installation is proud to have one of the first showrooms in the country to display the new TRUFIG flush-mounting system in their West Hollywood Experience Center showroom. TRUFIG is a revolutionary mounting system that allows items such as light switches, electrical outlets, phone/data jacks, Lutron HomeWorks SeeTouch keypads, Crestron touchpanels, volume controls, loudspeakers, and more to fit flush with the finished wall surface. TRUFIG presents the ability to take technology supplied by various manufacturers and provide a uniform industrial design, consistent color, and a mounting process to achieve a perfectly seamless installation into a wall or ceiling.

With the highly successful launch of the flangeless flush-mount "Architectural Series" loudspeakers launched by Sonance in 2007, the next evolutionary step was to take this clean look to standard home devices. TRUFIG, a sister company of Sonance, collaborated with architects and interior designers for many months to round out the product line.

"Through exposure to the Design Community, we realized that architects and interior designers go to great lengths to minimize the visual impact of common devices like receptacles, structured wiring jacks, lighting control keypads, etc. By tweaking a mounting technology that was pioneered for Sonance Architectural Series Speakers, we've brought a refined, repeatable process to make those devices disappear into the design of the space." says Jason Sloan, Vice President of Sales at TRUFIG.

Says Josh Christian, Vice President of Marketing at DSI Entertainment Systems, "World-class architects and interior designers call on us to deliver their clients high-end technology that disappears. Dozens of these professionals have been through our showroom to see our TRUFIG implementation and the reaction is always the same.  Once they see it installed, TRUFIG becomes a "must-have" product that they can't wait to tell their clients about."

About TRUFIG
Headquartered in San Clemente, California, TRUFIG was founded by Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer who introduced the world's first in-wall loudspeaker system to the consumer electronics market in 1982. With TRUFIG, never before has a homeowner been offered the ability to take equipment from many different manufacturers and integrate them seamlessly into the decor and design of the home. By providing uniform color and industrial design, TRUFIG ensures that every device in the home matches perfectly while providing the ability to install the products absolutely flush into any given surface.
