Later this year, Redbox and Verizon will be revealing a joint venture that will offer both streaming movies and movies on disc with a low price of entry.

They have a frequency range that starts at 8Hz thanks to a 40mm transducer developed in-house.
The SIM2 M.150 is more than just a projector.It's an impressive projector, to be sure, but when not in use for movie watching it takes on another form. The M.150 can function as a light, with the ability to add a bit of ambience or go full bore with colors and your own preferred imagery.
