Cumberland Consulting Inc.

Amplifiers
CCI has designed and can design Class A, Class AB and Class D amplifiers from 30 watts up to or over 1000 watts. We can make analog amplifiers that fit the sonic characteristics of your product line, or we can create a new ‘sonic signature’ just for you. With newer technologies Class D (digital) amplifiers can sound as good or better than the best Class AB amplifiers; we recommend their use. This technology has only become available in the past two to five years. Class D amplifiers are more efficient and can be made to produce more power from the given AC line power. This makes them ‘green’ with a “smaller carbon footprint”.

DSP
CCI has designed and can design custom DSP products to alter frequency response and/or phase. DSP’s can also be used to decode the various “MP3” types of music. The DSP has become the magic wand of the audio world. We can use this magic wand to aid your product in accomplishing many unique things since we design the circuit and can write the code to achieve your end goal. We can make this product truly yours. DSP’s have dramatically come down in costs. This means that even the entry product can do amazing things that could not be done before.

Speakers
CCI has designed and can design many formats of loudspeaker usage. We were among the first to design In-Wall speakers with multiple applications; including remote sensor eyes imbedded in the speaker itself. Early work, in the 70’s, included phase linearity embedded in amplitude linearity. Cabinet design, crossover design and driver design can all be included in our work. Exotic materials – custom crossover design – final product – all of these are options. We have worked with cone, dome, ribbon and flat panel designs making us knowledgeable in whatever area you need. In the application area we have done free standing, In-Wall, In-Ceiling, underwater and Omni-directional as well.

Pre-Pro
CCI has designed and can design preamp-processors for various applications and uses. We have many concepts that can be tailored to your specific product plans. The Pre-Pro can be single-zone or multi-zone. They can also have: wireless, internet or become multiple application (i.e. media server) hearts of a system.

DVD
CCI has designed and can design DVD and Blu-Ray players with improved video and audio circuitry. This customization allows you to make what is normally a low profit product into a high profit yielding product.

Wireless
CCI has designed and can design many wireless products using the newest and most advanced wireless circuitry. These can be adapted and integrated into the various products that you may already have or are in development. Wireless use to be painful and unreliable. We have worked with a large semiconductor manufacture to develop the ‘Holy Grail’ of wireless. This feature can now be added to your product to produce the “WOW” factor you have been looking for.

Ethernet
CCI has designed and can design many Lan-based products using the newest and most advanced Ethernet circuitry. These can be adapted and integrated into the various products that you may already have or are in development. This feature can make your product ‘call home’ and update itself. It can add the ability to stream from or to itself thus opening up a whole new world of connectivity and access to the latest media in the world.

Multi-Room – Multi-Zone
CCI has designed and can design Multi-Room – Multi-Zone audio/video and streaming systems. Having helped design the first Multi-Room system and the first Multi-Zone system, we are intimately knowledgeable of the electronics needed to make these user friendly. Most of these systems suffer from too many remotes – complicated remotes and/or the lack of easy interconnectivity. We can help you solve these problems to match your current or future product plans.
