This week we would like to introduce you to Chris. He can always be found in the Selby warehouse collating orders, distributing stock through the aisles or helping coordinate container arrivals. If anyone needs to know where to find a product, Chris is certain to know where to locate it. If you order a Selby product online or over the phone, chances are that Chris has had a big part in getting it to your front door. Here are the answers to our Selby questions.
Despite living in an increasingly wireless world, many of our devices still have cables, and lots of them. I don’t think there is a one size fits all solution for everyone, but surely we can do a better job than most of us are doing at the moment.
Not only is “cable management” important from a visual perspective, but being more organised with your cables can help safety around your home or business and can save you time too!
Sometimes we take for granted that things “just work”. The technology is there, and you don’t care how it works. Sometimes curiosity gets the better of us, and we want to know “How” or “Why?” You may be familiar with scientific and medical applications, as well as the use of infrared in night vision goggles. We thought it was time for a simple explanation of “Infrared” technology, and how it’s alive in your home.
Have you ever found yourself turning your music up really loud because even though you’re wearing headphones, the ambient noise around you keeps drowning out your tunes? It’s especially annoying when you’re in an environment such as a plane or a train because there is no escape from the volume of the engines or the people around you. Even though you have your ears completely covered and some noise is reduced, the ambient noise still permeates. That’s where noise-cancelling headphones can help you still enjoy your music even in these difficult and noisy environments. Noise-cancelling headphones are made as either active or passive.

It’s hard enough squinting to try and see the difference between 20 different models and sizes of televisions in the store, deciding which one you should buy, and how long it will be until it is superseded by the next model or big jump in technology. Now there’s a new (or not so new, really) term that has been injected into our technological vernacular more and more. “It’s 4k”. So what! What is 4k anyway, and what’s so good about it?
Want to achieve better sound quality from your Hi-Fi or Home Theatre?
Before you go out and drop a couple of grand on a new amp or speakers have you thought about your listening room? Most of the time, significant gains in sound quality can be achieved for little or no cost by simply playing with speaker placement and your room’s acoustics. For a start, every speaker is designed to go in a certain “position” in the room. For stereo speakers for example this is usually 50cm or more from the wall behind the speaker and around 1m from a side wall to achieve the best results. Most of the time your speaker’s user manual should be a good guide to placement. Try and get them as close as possible to the recommended then play with moving them around a little till you find the spot where you like the sound the best.
