New Home Developments Team With NextGen To Offer ZON Whole House Digital Audio

NextGen Now Installing ZON Audio for New Homebuyers in SC and GA

For Immediate Release (8 October 2003)

(Birmingham, AL) – Oxmoor Corporation today announced that NextGen Technologies has joined its family of ZON Audio dealers and integrators, providing the world's first all-digital distributed audio system to clients in South Carolina and coastal Georgia.

NextGen's first major projects include installation of ZON Audio in the model homes of three, upscale residential developments in South Carolina:

  • The Villages at St. John's Woods on John's Island
  • Bull Creek Plantation in West Ashley
  • Rivertowne in Mt. Pleasant

Model homes featuring ZON Audio are expected to open this winter in all three developments.

NextGen Technologies is a low voltage firm specializing in the evaluation, engineering, and installation of residential and commercial applications such as home lifestyle technologies and fire systems.

"A typical intercom system with radio is not as appealing today. Homebuyers are now more discriminating about the quality of whole house audio as the technology matures," said Chase Michaels, co-owner of NextGen. "We feel the ZON product better matches what our customers want. The partnership with Oxmoor is exactly what we have been looking for in the distributed audio genera.

"Aside from the fact that ZON Audio is clearly superior to the other distributed audio systems on the market, the Oxmoor team has experience as integrators, having installed IMAX sound systems around the world, and they really understand the challenges we can face." Michaels added. "We're pleased to offer ZON Audio to our clients because we know that it will provide them with many years of reliable, crystal clear, digital sound enjoyment and satisfaction."

Because of its all-digital architecture, ZON provides system integrators and end-users with new features and enhancements not presently available from other products on the market. For the integrator, ZON is easy to design and install and is well suited for structured wiring plans. For end users, ZON offers embedded capabilities that simplify control and management of the entire home audio environment.

"We are delighted that NextGen has chosen to offer ZON Audio to its clients and we look forward to working with them in the years ahead," said Lynn McCroskey, chairman and CEO of Oxmoor. "We appreciate the confidence they have shown in ZON Audio and will work hard to exceed their expectations in the workmanship of our products and in the quality of our customer support."

Since the introduction of ZON Audio one-year ago, Oxmoor has filled all pre-orders and is now offering same-day shipping on new orders.
