First of its Kind Application Rapidly Assembles and Configures Sound Systems Online!

Please access http://www.connectsound.com/configurator to view our unique online Optisystem™ Configurator! which is very easy to use and will benefit the entire industry. Please send me any feedback at jsankey@connnectsound.comConnectSound, Inc. (www.connectsound.com/) has recently launched the highly anticipated Optisystem™ Configurator (www.connectsound.com/configurator/) which utilizes expert system software to automatically assemble and configure sound reinforcement systems over the Internet.

Optisystem™ was specifically engineered for use by musicians, DJ’s and houses of worship who are looking to rapidly configure sound systems. Contractors can also use Optisystem™ to obtain quotations for small projects and can even order the products directly from the web site.

Optisystem™ uses an advanced, artificial intelligence engine, maintained and programmed by acoustic and sound experts, to custom design sound systems for a wide variety of applications. Optisystem™ starts with a dynamic form that prompts users to answer questions about their application. Users can select either the Novice or Advanced level of questions depending on their sound expertise. Specific answers trigger additional dynamic questions.

Once the questions are answered, Optisystem™ first matches the technical specifications of the products. Using an expert system, the optimal components (speakers, subwoofers, power amplifiers, microphones, mixers, etc.) are selected from ConnectSound's large product database. The database stores the key performance specifications for all of the equipment including reliability rating, review rating, drop ship ability and shipping weight. Equipment compatibility is always ensured throughout the selection process within the expert system. After choosing the equipment, Optisystem™ then selects the appropriate cables to interconnect the system components. All of this is done within the given budget and there are also price discounts built right into the configuration process.

At the end of the configuration process Optisystem™ allows the users to modify, add, or delete any item. The user always has the ability to select a different compatible product based on personal preference.

J. Chris Henry, Senior Vice President, is proud of the Optisystem™ as he stated, “The amount of hard work we put into the Optisystem™ can not be understated. It was a collaborative effort of our best sound and technology staff and I’m very pleased with the ease of use of the system. It’s possible to configure a complete sound system in under a minute.”

Optisystem™ is designed for assembling ultra-portable, portable, and smaller permanently installed sound systems and will design and configure sound systems for rooms where the largest dimension is less than 135 feet. For larger systems ConnectSound can put the user in touch with a certified contractor by sending an email to support@connectsound.com or calling toll-free at: (888) 454-6863.

Mark Loschiavo, President and COO, stated, “We constantly focus on the vitality of the music and sound industry and the Optisystem™ is another innovative service that will aid the integration of technology into the industry. End users who want to buy complete sound systems will benefit from the Optisystem™ and it can also be used as an innovative tool for contractors who need to quote small jobs in a fast and efficient manner.”

Patrick Baird, Senior Solutions Developer, added, “We placed the utmost importance on providing the user a streamlined and intuitive question process which lets the artificial intelligence engine do the complex matching and configuration of products. The best feature of the Optisystem™ is that it takes the mystery and guess work out of the buying experience.”

ConnectSound is an innovative business providing e-commerce solutions for the music and sound products industry with an initial focus on an Internet retail web site (www.connectsound.com/) replete with an extensive technical data warehouse.
