Extron Sets the Bar for AV Manufacturers to Attain in GreenAV
Everyone’s probably familiar with UL and their certification of power supplies in electronics gear in the USA. No dealer would buy or integrate non-UL certified AV gear, would they? Why would they want the liability of not installing a UL-approved supply?
Well, Extron went one further. Earlier this summer, they became the first domestic company to successfully undergo UL Environment’s independent testing for U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR performance and earn the UL Environment Energy Efficiency Certification (EEC) Mark for external power supplies and professional audio amplifiers. The mark will appear on two models from the Extron PS Series Desktop Power Supplies and packaging, which have been proven to meet energy efficiency criteria under the ENERGY STAR Single Voltage External AC-AC and AC-DC Power Supplies specification, Version 2.0. The mark will also appear on Extron XTRA Series Power Amplifiers, which meet the new qualifications under ENERGY STAR Audio/Video Specification 2.0 program requirements.
