Triad Factory Tour

September 11, 2017 By admin

I always enjoy taking tours of our vendors factories, because it helps you understand not only their product better, but who they are as a company.  After only 10 minutes or so of talking with their employees , the first thing you realize is these folks don’t make speakers because they think it is a good way to make a living, they make loudspeakers because they are passionate about sound. They make individually, hand crafted speakers that are not only great sounding, but beautiful to look at.  And they make them in such an efficient way, that they are competitively priced with mass produced “cookie cutter” speakers that are made overseas.  Triad has a 30 year history of making world class speakers right here in Portland, OR.

We started our tour by getting an overview of their product lines from Trainer Steve Colburn.  We then entered the factory floor, where we were able to see the entire process a speaker goes thru from being cut out on a precision CNC router machine, to custom paint or veneer finishes, to final assembly and packaging.  One of the components I was surprised to learn they make in house, was the crossovers for each speaker.  This important step gives them a great deal of control over the final voicing of the speakers, to bring out the optimal performance.

If you have spent any time studying loudspeaker design, one of the first things you come to understand, is that making a great sounding speaker is a combination of Science and Art.  Many companies focus exclusively on the Science part, and are satisfied if the speaker measures a flat frequency response in an audio test.  Triad takes things a step further.  They not only test and refine the performance of their speakers in their own custom built anechoic chamber, they also evaluate the speakers with two very sophisticated pieces of test equipment. Their ears!  This helps bring out the intangible qualities like imaging and transient response that separate good speakers from great speakers.

We ended our tour… how else…listening to music and movie clips in their dedicated listening theater. The recent development of Dolby Atmos has breathed new excitement into the home theater realm, after a relatively quiet period.  Triad has been deeply involved with this advancement in cinema sound, working as a Dolby Labs Atmos  Development Partner.  As we started to watch the first movie clip,  I quickly became lost in the intense action sequences and drama of the movie Unbroken.  We sampled some music tracks and other movie clips as well, on a full Silver System.  It was nothing short of fantastic.  With a custom solution for almost any room or application, Triad is a great choice for any listening environment.

Smart Lock

One of the great benefits of an Evolved Home is peace of mind. Get text alerts from your smart door lock – ” The kids are home from school – 3:08pm ” – , use your smart phone to monitor live security cameras, or arm and disarm your security system, whether your are home or away. Leaving on vacation? Turn on the Mockupancy™ Mode to give your home that lived in look while your away. A Mockupancy™ scene will alternate lights and shades—and even televisions—in a random fashion so that your home simulates your family’s activities to make it appear occupied while you’re away.

Superior Service

A big part of the Evolved Home difference is the commitment we make to you to insure your system runs smoothly and reliably.  You’ve made a significant investment in your Smart Home and it makes sense to protect that investment with one of our Remote Support Plans.

Remote Support enables Evolved Home technicians to access your Controller to make programming changes.  BakPak enabled routers enable us to monitor and correct network issues and perform firmware updates on a wide variety of devices.  IP addressable power centers allow us to be notified of potential power issues, including under voltage, over voltage, battery back up level, and power outages.  We can also reboot devices by power cycling the outlet they are connected to.  All of these remote capabilites enable us to respond faster, and at a lower cost than a site visit, to keep your system running optimally.

Some of the other benefits of an Evolved Home system are:

Remote Programming – Our support technicians can connect to your Control 4 system remotely to change basic programming features including modifying scheduled events, adjusting light levels, and various other functions.

Priority Remote Support – Pro Active and Pro Active Plus plan members receive priority response on service issues.  Most issues resolved in 24-48 hours.

4 Sight Subscription – This is an annual license from Control 4 that allows you to access your home system from a smart phone or tablet whether you are at home or an vacation.  It is also required in order to receive email notifications or to use Amazon Alexa voice control.  This license is normally $100 annually, but is included with Pro Active and Pro Active Plus plans, when you commit to a 24 month term.

Remote Rebooting – When your system includes IP addressable power centers, our technicians can remotely connect to the power center to reboot devices that may be locked up.  This is one of the most common service call issues.

Remote Firmware Updates – Evolved Home support staff can perform minor control system firmware updates, and if your system includes a BakPak enabled network device, we can also perform updates to a wide range of other devices.

Email Notifications – Receive email notifications from system events or devices.  ” The Kids are home from school – 3:08pm – Smart Door Lock”. Requires 4 Sight Subscription.

Discounted Pro Router –  In order to join the Pro Active or Pro Active Plus support plans you must have a BakPak enabled network device.  If you don’t already have this device, you will receive a substantial discount on the installation and programming of this device when you commit to a 24 month term. We use commercial class, gigbit routers for robust and reliable networking. Ask for details.

Primary Controller Upgrade – Pro Active and Pro Active Plus members who have owned their system for at least 6 months are eligible for a 15% discount when they upgrade their Primary Controller.

Control 4 Product Discounts – Pro Active and Pro Active Plus members are eligible for 10% Off Control 4 products that are purchased during the Primary Controller Upgrade.

Alarm Monitoring – Pro Active Plus members save $10.00 per month by combining Alarm monitoring with Remote Support.  Your Alarm system will be professionally monitored by a local UL certified central monitoring station.

Fire Alarm Monitoring – In addition to burglary alarm monitoring, our smoke detectors can report fire events to the central station, and fire department personell will be dispatched.  Requires DSC Neo or Power Series Panel.

This client utilizes a real functional video doorbell, not just monitoring who comes knocking, but allowing the client the ability to grant access from the SAME APP. A smart home is not for everyone, but practical solutions to everyday needs/problems are what an #evolvedhome is all about. Not just a #smarthome , but an #evolvedhome.

  • Visiting another #evolvedhome commissioned a couple years ago now. Just another rack picture but, what should this mean to you as a homeowner? It means the professional you hire cares about technology not intruding into the rest of your home with stacks of black boxes everywhere. It also means that the professional you hired wants to be able to efficiently service the system for any issues that may arise, or any upgrades you may desire. Not just a #smarthome , an #evolvedhome .
  • A job we are revisiting today. @henrystavern is a project overhaul we did some years ago where we added numerous televisions that are simplified by coming to life automatically on schedule. One of the few spots in #pdx for both isolated fine dining, a lively sports bar atmosphere and outdoor dining. They also host live performances, and major sporting events. #evolvedhome #automation #sportsbar #throwbackthursday #TBT
