Foreword
Neets EasyConnect solves one of the most common and frustrating problems encountered in AV presentations.
When a guest presenter wants to connect a laptop computer, all too often the proper cables cannot be found, or
they have the wrong length, or the connection point is hidden away in a floor pocket or wall panel.
Cables are terminated at both ends for easy disconnection and re-connection, allowing use in podiums that occa-
sionally must be relocated or removed for storage.
The EasyConnect enclosure also incorporates space for seamless integration of Neets Control EcHo or SieRRa II.
With integrated control, starting a presentation is quick and frustration-free. Simply plug in the required cables,
press the corresponding control buttons, and your
presentation is running in a matter of seconds!

outlet (with proper socket connector for country of delivery) for powering an external computer or other device, and
