PowerPlane

The THIEL PowerPlane is the first true high performance in-wall loudspeaker

HE POWERPLANE IS AN IN-WALL

loudspeaker designed to provide much higher levels

of sonic performance than other in-wall speakers available today. When space is a factor, the new PowerPlane delivers the most realistic sound possible from the smallest area.

Using the same high quality components and innovative engineering techniques used our floor-standing and bookshelf models, such as coaxial/coplanar driver mounting, ultra-low distortion motor systems, aluminum diaphragms, and phase coherent crossover design, the two-way PowerPlane is a true high performance in-wall speaker for listeners who wish to have great sound in every room of their home.

For use in every room in the home

The PowerPlane can be used as front, center, or rear-channel speakers in home video, music, and multichanel systems. They can also be used alone or in pairs throughout the home in bedrooms, kitchens, bath, and offices for outstanding sound everywhere. Its subtle, architectural design and paintable surface integrates well with almost any home decor.

When space is a factor, the

PowerPlane enables you to enjoy

great realism in every room of your

home, from very high quality

background music to full home

theater systems.

Self-enclosed, braced cabinet

Unlike many conventional, backless in-wall loudspeakers, the PowerPlane is self-enclosed with a ruggedly braced cabinet. This design feature is very important for sonic excellence as it prevents unwanted vibration from transferring to the room’s walls, which would obscure detail and color the sound.

The PowerPlane can be mounted horizontally or vertically in walls, ceilings, and enclosed cabinets.

PowerPlane and PowerPoint

Coaxial Array

The PowerPlane and PowerPoint use a

coaxial/coplanar 6.5-inch woofer and

1-inch dome tweeter that employ THIEL’s

innovative short coil/long gap motor system for

extremely low distortion. Designed and built

in-house by THIEL, the woofer and tweeter use

extremely rigid aluminum diaphragms for

outstanding tonal response and the tweeter is

the same unit as used in THIEL’s flagship

model, the CS7.2. Powerful, but small

neodymium magnets allow the driver array to

be built small enough to fit the compact

enclosures, but still deliver outstanding

performance. The powerful magnet system

improves the speaker output capability and

increases efficiency, important characteristics

for use in today’s home theater systems.

• In-wall design allows a wide variety of placement locations when space is a factor.

superior reproduction.

• Phase coherent crossover networks preserve spatial and

transient information for greater realism.

• Coaxial/coplanar driver mounting insures accurate, natural sound regardless of speaker placement or

listener location.

• Self-enclosed, rigidly braced cabinet reduces unwanted vibration for greater clarity.

• 2-way driver system employs very low distortion, short coil, long gap motor systems, very rigid aluminum

diaphragms, and powerful magnets for
