HAYWARD, CA (10.18.2019) – Expanding Earthquake’s line of audio problem-solving products; the new GLI-200 and ISO-200 are the leading ground loop isolators and signal converter on the market. The standard A/V receiver output is 600Ω yet most ground loop isolators on the market today have 200Ω at best. When using these substandard products, your A/V receiver has to deliver 3X more current and or compromise the output level.
The new GLI and ISO 200 come with an impedance of 600Ω right out of the box matching that of the industry standard. Unlike other products on the market, the GLI and ISO are constructed with high-quality components and will not roll-off the low frequency response due to undersized transformers resulting in poor performance. They were designed to kill off annoying buzz noise or ground loop that will allow your audio system to perform at its very best.
The ISO-200 is unique because it not only serves as a ground loop isolator, but it is also a 2-way signal converter. It will convert an unbalanced consumer level RCA signal to a balanced professional level XLR signal and vice versa. This gives the installer more wiring options whether it be used for home, mobile, or pro sound applications.
The compact and rugged construction of the ISO and GLI 200 allow for them to fit into virtually any audio system, and can be mounted to any surface with their built-in mounting brackets. This will give you a cleaner looking install and be hidden out of sight. These products are also must-have tools of the trade for installers when diagnosing audio systems. When it comes to audio noise and hum issues, Earthquake Sound offers great problem-solving solutions for audio professionals and installers to the everyday home and car audio enthusiast.

METAIRE, LA (10.17.2019) – Oracle Lighting has announced the debut of the new Ford F-150 LED Off-Road Side Mirrors for model years 2015-2019 (MSRP: $399.95; p/n 5816-001).
Oracle Lighting will showcase the new Ford F-150 LED Off-Road Side Mirrors during the 2019 SEMA Show, held in Las Vegas, Nev. from Nov. 5-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth #C21505.
“This innovative new product from Oracle Lighting features a set of high powered LED light bars integrated into the factory-style side mirror caps of 2015-2019 Ford F-150 and Raptor models,” explained Justin Hartenstein, Oracle Lighting director of development. “This integration allows for easy installation and a clean, almost OEM look while providing functional peripheral illumination for the driver.”
Why is peripheral illumination important? Factory headlights and most auxiliary lights only illuminate the area in front of the vehicle. Ideally for off-road activities, such as trail riding, the driver needs to be able to clearly see the area on the sides of the trail to spot obstructions, which would otherwise go unnoticed and could be a potential hazard.
“Besides being functional, our new LED mirrors look great as well,” Hartenstein continued. “The LED light bar is a custom design that features a total of 24 powerful Cree LEDs. This gives the driver increased visibility and peripheral illumination. Each unit has a 45 beam angle to optimize the driver’s peripheral visibility whether riding on the trail or in the desert. Multiple aluminum heat sinks are used to effectively wick heat away from the LEDs and are designed to use the airflow through the mirror housing to increase cooling similar to a radiator.”
The new LED Off-Road Side Mirror housing material is made from rugged Polycarbonate and bolts onto the vehicle using the factory mounts for easy installation. A set of anodized rock guards protects the LED acrylic lenses, which also houses the DBM Reflex LED optics. These efficient optics focus the light for optimal visibility from the driver seat position.
Additional product features include:
• 24x 1W Cree LEDs
• 2200lm total output
• 45 Degree LED beam angle
• Advanced LED optics
• Uses factory mounts
• 6000K color temp
• 2 Amp power draw
• 2-year warranty
• Patented design
• Will not fit tow-mirror equipped vehicles
Package includes:
• 1 x Driver Side Oracle 2015-2019 Ford F150/ Raptor LED Off-Road Side Mirror Cap
• 1 x Passenger Side Oracle 2015-2019 Ford F150/Raptor LED Off-Road Side Mirror Cap
Celebrating its 20-year anniversary in 2019, Metairie, Louisiana-based Oracle Lighting has been designing innovative lighting products and technologies for the automotive/12Volt, powersports, motorcycle, and marine markets since 1999. Oracle’s philosophy is this: in today’s world of fly-by-night vendors, we think it is important to partner with businesses that you can trust to be there for you today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
