Theater Systems
Vocal Integrity® system design allows use of these speakers as front L/C/R’s in theater systems. Smooth octave-to-octave transition means vocals are clear and distinct, on-screen effects are easy to pin-point.
Constrained High Mass Frame
Modeled after our acclaimed JAM in-wall speakers, we combine an aluminum frame, a closed-cell foam damping layer, and a 1" sheet of medium density fiberboard for true sonic fidelity. By using this frame, instead of a typical plastic unit, we dramatically increase the sonic impact of the system. You’ll hear deeper bass, and improved midrange clarity.
Drive Units
Our audiophile silk dome tweeter is the key to our system’s performance. This high power handling, broad dispersion drive unit spreads sound evenly throughout the room. The anodized aluminum bass unit stays pistonic throughout its operating range — for reduced distortion and truer reproduction.
Our exclusive Pi Space Tuning overcomes “bloated” midbass gain when the
speaker is placed near walls — a situation likely to occur when used as L/C/R’s.
Vocal Integrity® System Design
We’ve designed and tested our systems to exhibit the lowest level of distortion in the critical midrange — especially off axis. This requires attention to all elements of the design, from driver parameters to crossover tolerances. The end result is a series of speakers that outperform the field when used in theater applications.
Flush To The Ceiling
Our frame sits just 2mm off the ceiling, twice as shallow as the typical in-ceiling speaker. Combined with our flat micro-perf grilles, the speakers cast a minimal shadow, looking almost flush to the ceiling.  
Weather Resistant Construction
You can place 900 Series speakers in high humidity areas, like kitchens, bath, and protected outdoor settings. All exposed components are weather resistant.

Distributed Audio Systems
900 Series speakers have high sensitivity, making them perfect for multi-room systems. With broad off-axis dispersion (-6 dB at 45°), these speakers will easily fill a
room without hot spots or drop-outs.
