Floating Plasma Tv Stands Offer Contemporary Design Option

Long Beach, CA Jun 25, 2003

Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., a leader in digital home entertainment products, today introduced two television stands designed to complement its Pioneer and Elite PureVision plasma televisions. Both stands, the Pioneer RAE-1011 and Pioneer Elite PFS-1011, will accommodate either a 43-inch or 50-inch television and offer a floating plasma mount, integrated wire management system, two tempered glass shelves and an all-steel construction.

"Our research shows that 40 percent of consumers don't want to or aren't able to hang their plasma directly on the wall," " said Russ Johnston, senior vice president of marketing for the home entertainment division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "Since traditional furniture manufacturers have not yet caught up to electronics manufacturers in designing furniture to house these ultra-modern thin-screen televisions, Pioneer is offering several furniture choices. Our floating stands complement our standard and tilt-mount wall brackets to offer another choice for plasma display."

When mounted in the RAE-1011 or PFS-1011, the plasma has the appearance of floating. Each plasma tv stand offers two height options along with an integrated floating swivel mount so the plasma can be turned from side to side. Each stand also has two adjustable tempered glass shelves that each holds up to 50 lbs. The steel spine that supports both the plasma and the shelves is hollow offering a simple wire management system.

The Elite plasma stand is high-gloss piano black with smoked glass shelves making it an elegant partner to the Pioneer Elite plasma displays. The RAE-1011 plasma stand also comes with high-gloss piano black accents which include a base plate and side trim for the spine, dressing up the plasma stand even further. The PFS-1011 is offered in gun-metal gray to compliment the Pioneer plasma televisions.
