Product Construction
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
fibreboard 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.
Driver Complement
Our audiophile silk dome tweeter is the key to our
performance. This high power handling, unit spreads
sound evenly throughout the room.

960
The 960 is a two-way design with a high powerhandling 6
1
/2bass unit. The 960c is a three-way
center channel speaker with a vertically mounted
tweeter/midrange combination for superb horizontal
dispersion. The 970 uses dual bass units for
additioanl output in larger rooms (up to 4,000 ft
3
).
For bass, the 900 Subwoofer uses dual 8” bass units.
Pi Space Tuning
Our exclusive Pi Space Tuning overcomes “bloated”
midbass gain when the speaker is placed near side
walls or ceilings.
Vocal Integrity®System Design
We’ve designed and tested our systems to exhibit the
lowest level of distortion in the critical midrange —
960c 970 900 Subwoofer
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.
Flush To The Wall
Our injection-molded aluminum frame sits just a few
millimeters off the wall. And with our floating grilles
held in place with concealed magnets, the 900 Series
speakers have an elegant, unobtrusive look.
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.
