In June of 2001 Outlaw will launch the ICBM (no, it's not the pre-amp)! The first person to properly identify what our acronym "ICBM" stands for will win one! Please post entries below. Good Luck!

Let's think about this acronym for a second. ICBM, hmmmm. I figure it has a "C" in it because it could not be called "IBM" like the computer company, which means that the "C" could either be in the name or not depending upon how you look at it. "Interconnect" comes to mind. You can either use the "I" from this word in an acronym or "I" and "C" because you could separate "Inter" and "connect." So I'm betting the "IC" stands for "interconnect," "interconnecting," or "interchangeable." As for the "BM," I have no idea.

Keep in mind the little we definitely know about this folks. From the "New Products" section of the site ...

Quote:
First, we are in the final design stages of a unique accessory product that will become essential for many systems, Outlaw or not, as DVD-Audio becomes more popular. As soon as we approve the prototypes and make some final design tweaks we will have more details. However, we can say that if you buy a major brand DVD-Audio player this year (other than our own Outlaw brand model) you will HAVE to get one of these.


So it's got something to do with DVD-A players. It sounds like it will provide something that no other DVD-A player (besides the Outlaw unit) will have ... hmmm ...

A lot of folks are picking up on bass management, but would you put such a creature between the source DACs and the pre/pro? Doesn't sound right to me.

Interconnects? hmmm ... considering that to get the most out of DVD-A you need to use the six analog outputs from the player, this may make sense. Although Outlaw has already "announced" interconnects ... so I'm not certain this is quite right either. From what I can gather the reason DVD-A will require these six cables instead of the more common digital connections we have today has to do with the bandwidth being passed ... sooo ... let's see what guesses I can come up with ...

  • Intelligent Channel Bandwidth (or Bitrate?) Monitor
  • Intelligent Cable Bundle Manager
  • InterConnect Bundle Manager


My gut feeling is something along the lines of the first one.

UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE*UPDATE

OK folks, your guesses have been pretty good. We are very impressed with the creativity level out there. We want you to know that two of you have come EXTREMELY close, but missed the exact language for different reasons. So, the Outlaws have huddled and here are the new announcements:

We will give two units away!! The first winner will be that person who gets the exact name right, or the person who comes the closest to the exact name by the end of the contest.

The SECOND unit will go to that entrant who comes up with the most "CREATIVE" name.

To those of you who want to get an idea of just what this product is, we will give you a hint. Somewhere in the latest issue of Sound and Vision, there is a one line reference to this product.

All entries must be submitted by Monday, April 16 11:59 PM EST.

Good luck!

I can't believe no one has figured this out. It is so easy!

Internet Configured Bass Management

It is a simple device which connects between your DVD-A player and your Preamp/Processor. It receives information about how each individual DVD-A title should handle bass management from the Internet. It is an incredible ingenious device! Only from your friends at Outlaw...

All of you are wrong. Through my research in the Canadian wilds, where the midget invasion has begun, I have uncovered the true meaning of ICBM:

INTERNAL COMBUSTION BASS MIDGET.

You see, the fine folks at Outlaw, through years of research at truck stops and dwarf-tossing events, learned that there are two things which create the deepest bass imaginable: diesel engines and midgets beating large bass drums. Through the miracle of modern technology, they're prepared to bring you the ultimate in bass reproduction -- a combination of both large diesel engines and funny little dwarves with percussion instruments.

The midget will be seated in a clear plexiglass enclosure, with only his little arms exposed. Mounted to this enclosure will be an oversized bass drum. Electrodes attached to the midget's ears will convert the LFE channel to electric shocks, forcing the midget to convulse and strike the bass drum at the exact frequency required by the source material.

But what will the fine folks at Outlaw be using to amplify this ingenious device? That's right -- a 12-cylinder behemoth diesel engine, ripped straight from a used Peterbilt. The compressed exhaust from this monster engine will be used to pressurize the air from the midget/bass unit into an eight foot wide ceramic horn mounted conveniently on the side of the PME (plexiglass midget enclosure).

Prepare for the ultimate home theater experience with Outlaw's Internal Combustion Bass Midget. Unfortunately, due to the death of test subjects forced to listen to the ICBM's 180db peak output, initial orders will be limited to military personnel only.

That's right... from the folks who brought you the 1050, it's the:

INSOLENT CRACKHEAD BREAD MAKER!

No more boring hours waiting for your loaves of fresh homemade bread to rise. Now you can be entertained by your very own angry cocaine-addicted hobo, as simulated by Outlaw's patented voice synthesis technology. You'll be endlessly entertained by the Outlaw ICBM's seemingly endless number of catchy phrases, such as:
"Hey lady, I think your bread is done. Why don't you hook a brother up?"
"I got a dragon in my pants, my purple monkey friends!"
"You call that a loaf? THIS IS A LOAF!"
"Add some yeast... and bring me a lighter."
"I can quit any time I want to. STOP TOUCHING ME!"

And Outlaw's ICBM is educational too! Your children will be amazed at such pearls of useful wisdom like "A man can drink a pint of motor oil before he get sick" and "Some men like legs, some like hips, but I just like cereal."

Order now, and Outlaw will throw in, completely free of charge, another of their new products -- the PNM (Political Nepotism Microwave). Thanks to Outlaw's realistic AI, the PNM can heat a bowl of soup in a mere thirty seconds while simultaneously angering China and refusing to apologize! ORDER TODAY!

Let's face it, folks... the boys of summer cost too much. That's why the fine folks at Outlaw have invented the:

INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION BASEBALL MONKEY.

Salary disputes? NOT A CHANCE! Outlaw's specially trained animal handlers have spent countless months teaching rhesus monkeys how to play baseball, so you don't have to! Using cutting edge electro-chemical shock conditioning, Outlaw's handlers have programmed each monkey with its own individual baseball personality, based on players from past and present. Our favorites:

Monkey #349: Babe Ruth -- Relive the good ole' days with our personal favorite baseball monkey. He can't throw or run very well, but boy can he hit. And as an added bonus, he likes to have lots of sex and smoke cigars, sometimes simultaneously!

Monkey #2112: Mark McGwire -- Built like a steroid-enhanced monkey freak, this little player can hit a ball like Ike hit Tina. And he won't take any guff off the Cubans, either!

Monkey #666: John Rocker -- Baseball has its embarrassments, and so do Outlaw's monkeys! This little bugger will pick and scratch constantly, all while cursing those doggone subway people. He's this month's special, and interested teams can own him for only $39.95!

ICBM stands for "Internal Cinema Beautification Module".

It's a surgical implant that digitally "paints" your retina, making your tiny cable strewn sub-basement theater with the half-broken couch you salvaged from a frat-house fire sale look like a $200K custom installation with motorized drapes, plush velvet movie-loungers (leather available with minor device tweaks) and a beautiful usher to show you to your seat.

Gotta get me one of those!

ICBM: Integrate Circut Bose Mediator

This product is designed to be placed between the amplifier and any bose speaker system, and reproduce the section of the audio spectrum that the speakers can't generate. This is accomplished through the use of complex computer circuitry to recognize which bose speaker system is in use and it automatically adjusts it's output according to what is plugged into it.

NO MORE CALLS, WE HAVE A WINNER!

The Outlaws would like to take this opportunity to thank all fellow Outlaws,
Gunslingers and Deputy Gunslingers who took the time and energy to enter our
"Guess the Product" contest. As of 11:59 PM EDT, April 16, 2001, two things
must have happened: You must have your 2000 tax returns postmarked, and you
must have entered the contest, as the contest closed last night at midnight.
If you didn't do either, it's too late now!

We are pleased to announce that we have a winner. -DTarbox.
Although many of you came close, he was the first of the almost 2000 or so
guesses, (it sure felt like it) to enter the complete and correct name:
INTEGRATED CONTROLLED BASS MANAGER. Congratulations to DTarbox.
We'll be launching an ICBM out to you as soon as they come off the production
line.

With some help from the clue about Page 24 in the May issue of Sound and
Vision many of you correctly guessed that the ICBM is a stand-alone bass
management device for use with DVD Audio or SACD Audio players. As you know,
these players use high-quality analog outputs which are connected to the 'six
channel' inputs on your receiver or processor. Since neither the player or
the processor has bass management, the results can totally degrade the
otherwise remarkable quality of these high resolution formats.

In addition to performing this mandatory function for DVD Audio or SACD, the
ICBM may also substitute for a pre-amps' own bass management circuitry. In
order to preserve the quality of the analog signal, the ICBM employs
audiophile grade components, including state of the art, low-noise, dual
op-amps, metal-film resistors and film capacitors. To enable you to precisely
match the crossover points of your specific speaker complement, the ICBM lets
you set a different crossover point for the front left/right, center, right
surround, left surround and subwoofer channels. (Since we know you're going
to ask, the crossover points are: 40 Hz, 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz and 120 Hz).
If that weren't enough, the ICBM is the only bass management device we are
aware of that may be optionally configured to drive stereo subwoofers with
"hard left" and "hard right" derived bass signals.

As to the complete specs, details and pricing, we're going to ask you to hold
on for a few more days as we want to get a little closer to the New York Hi
Fi Show before we reveal anything else about the ICBM. In typical Outlaw
fashion we're still making some final design tweaks and at this point we
really don't want to tip our hand to the competition until we absolutely have
to.

As to the "Best Creative Name for the ICBM" part of the contest we have to
admit that some of you are "way out there!" Reading all the entries was a
very enjoyable task. It was tough to decide but The Outlaws have finally
chosen the entry from DanKaps. His product name was Instant Consensual
Buying Machine. If only we could develop his idea, all of us Outlaws could
retire with mega-millions!


As they say in the Infomercials: BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

The Outlaws truly appreciate the time and effort of so many of you in making
this contest both fun and a success. As a big thank you we have decided to
offer a "runner-up" prize of a $30 discount off the to be announced price on the
ICBM to everyone who entered the contest. You don't need to apply for this or let
us know that you are eligible, as we have the names and e-mail addresses from
the entries. (THE LEGAL STUFF: This discount will be off the final Outlaw price,
and may not be combined with any other discounts or promotions. Sorry, only ONE
discount per customer, regardless of how many times you posted an entry.)
However, it is our way of thanking you all.

STOP THE PRESSES! THE FIRST ONE WAS SO MUCH FUN, LET'S DO ANOTHER CONTEST!

Since the timing of these two products does not allow for an external beta
test, we've decided to use the products that would otherwise be allocated to
the beta for these contests. (PLEASE don't e-mail about a beta for the ICBM
or other products mentioned in this message. We won't be doing one this time
around.)

In order to properly use the ICBM, you'll need something besides the product
itself. However, this contest is the reverse of the last one: This time we're
telling you what the name is, but you need to guess some things about the
product.

The Outlaws cooked this one up while sitting around their chuck wagon one
morning for breakfast. So we decided to name it after the best item on the
menu, "The Short Stack". We'll award a complete Short Stack (but without the
butter and maple syrup - too many calories for the Outlaws these days!) to
the first TWO entrants who correctly describe what The Short Stack is. To win
you need to properly describe the following:

1. The name of the commodity.
2. The number of them in the "Stack".
3. Why they are a "Short Stack".

In the spirit of the Outlaws, we'll also award one Short Stack to the best
comic answer.

Decision of the Outlaws is FINAL, and we cannot be responsible for entries
that are sent by you, but not received by our server and posted on the proper
area of our web site. (Please remember that the user name and password issued
for the Saloon is CASE SENSITIVE, and that is the reason why some entries to
the first contest did not make it to the board.) All entries must be posted
to the Outlaw Saloon discussion board no later than 11:59 PM. PDT, May 1,
2001, or sent by mail to our postal address, with a postmark no later than
the same deadline. Outlaw employees, vendors and their families are not
eligible.

Good luck, partners!
