Product Construction

Bonded Aluminum Frame

We combine an aluminum frame bonded to a fi"
closed cell foam damping layer to create a rigid
structure for the drive elements. By using this frame,
instead of a typical plastic unit, we increase the sonic
impact of the system. You’ll hear deeper bass, and
improved midrange clarity.

Silk Tweeter

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.

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 800 Series speakers in high humidity
areas, like kitchens, bath, and protected outdoor
settings. All exposed components are weather
resistant.
