As mentioned in our October Newsletter, we are conducting a contest in this space involving our forthcoming Model 200 product. The rules are as follows:


1) Between October 7, 2002 and November 7, 2002, we welcome you to guess what the Model 200 product is. You may enter by placing a message with your guess in this thread, or by sending us a postcard with your guess.
2) Decision of the Outlaws with regard to the answer is final.
3) No purchase is necessary to enter.
4) All correct entries will be entered in a drawing to be held at random by the Outlaws from which the winning entry will be drawn. The winner will receive a Model 200 once it begins shipment.
5) We cannot be responsible for entries sent via electronic or physical means that do not reach us for any reason.
6) All other correct entries will be eligible for a discount on the purchase of a Model 200. The amount of the discount will be announced at the conclusion of the contest so that the pricing information may not be used to influence the guesses.
7) The winner must be over 18 years old. Outlaw employees, vendors and their immediate families are not eligible.

We also know that there are some pranksters out there in the Outlaw community, so we will also give away a second Model 200 to the wrong entry that, in our sole opinion, is the most humorous.

Only one serious entry and one humor entry per person. Also, we will not accept entries with multiple guesses.

So much for the boilerplate stuff. Take your best guess at what YOU think this new product is, and who knows, you might end up owning one!

Best and Good Luck,

Scott

Ok...my guess...a new ICBM with 7 channel base management and more lining up with the 950/7100 release

I'm thinking it's a 2 channel amplifier. This will make it more "economical" to go from 5.1 to 7.1.

Hmmm...it's EITHER a two-channel 100 watt amp OR a single 200 watt monoblock. I'll go with the monoblock, I guess.

Furthermore, I'll guess the price at $250 !!

I'm gonna guess that it's a CD player. Just because all of their amps so far have been named 7xx.

200 watt monoblock amp

I'd say it's a revamping of the Model IR-1000 internet tuner but with built in support for MP3 streaming (wild guess)

Amplified subwoofer.

I came up with several possibilities, but since we only get two guesses (one serious and one not), I'm going to guess that the Outlaw Model 200 is either a dedicated video switcher (serious guess) or a "trained monkey" universal remote (not-so-serious guess -- think of a primate that would sit next to your equipment rack with an armful of equipment remotes and obey spoken commands. It would allow for true universal equipment control, no need for backlighting due to voice interface, no more hassle with getting the remote aimed properly, limitless macros (teach your remote to change channel trim settings for different processing modes or to switch the mains to large when using stereo bypass mode), and it would require no batteries! Bananas not included...).
