Lexington, KY, April 18, 2008 --(PR.com)-- ELAN® Home Systems, a leading manufacturer of award-winning Multi-Room audio/video and home control systems, today announced that ATON™, a provider of installer-friendly whole-house audio and video signal routing products and Panamax-Furman®, award-winning international leaders in innovative power management products, have joined all the Tech Week excitement as Sponsors. The announcement was made today by Paul Starkey, ELAN's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

These prestigious companies will join VIP Headline Sponsors, Lutron® and Middle Atlantic Products, fellow VIP Sponsors LiteTouch®, and Aprilaire®, and Media Sponsors, EH Publishing and Mendelsohn Media at the Mid-May Lexington Kentucky training conference.

"ATON and Panamax-Furman have brought ELAN's Tech Week to the tipping point of technology education. The participation of these added companies gives our 300+ attendees unprecedented hands-on access to eleven whole-house industry leaders and their newest products. We are very excited about having such a forum to showcase ATON's patent-pending DLA technology and Panamax-Furman's cutting-edge power management to this many enthusiastic Dealers," stated Mr. Starkey.

Bob Williams, General Manager of ATON, said, "As a newly-launched Technology Company, our staff is primed for our first Tech Week and recognize and appreciate the value of the up-close and personal contact with the high caliber of Dealers it offers. This will allow us to introduce these Dealers to several new applications of our Dynamic Level Adjustment Technology products. One of the many applications that we are getting a lot of excitement about is wireless RF remote control of ELAN multi-room audio system "sub-zones". Tech Week gives us a tremendous opportunity to provide ELAN dealers with these solutions. We are absolutely thrilled to participate."

Dave Keller, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Panamax-Furman noted, "ELAN has done an incredible job of teaching Dealers how to integrate many whole-house components into centralized control systems. We are really looking forward to this great opportunity to show the importance of advanced power management and filtration so that Dealers can offer rich palettes of control features while protecting systems from catastrophic failures and delivering jaw-dropping, noise-free media signals throughout their installations."

As part of their Sponsorships, ATON and Panamax-Furman will offer demonstrations of their products in a focused environment over several days. This will provide Dealers with the opportunity to see how these manufacturers are working hand-in-hand with ELAN in order to simplify product integration and/or value-add their installations. In addition, Sponsors will have the opportunity to meet with the Dealers one-on-one, be part of Tech Week marketing efforts, and participate in Installer discussions and events.

ELAN's award-winning Tech Week has grown into the industry's most elite educational event and, this year, will bring together more than 300 top ELAN, HomeLogic and Sunfire® Dealers, VIA!® Integration Partners and Media Representatives from May 13th through 16th at the Marriott Griffin Gate Resort in Lexington, Kentucky.
