Leviton Releases New In-Wall and In-Ceiling Architectural Edition Speakers Powered by JBL®
MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Leviton today announced several exciting additions to the Architectural Edition Powered by JBL® speaker product line. In November 2016, Leviton introduced five new home theater speakers including a Bluetooth Soundbar with wireless sub-woofer. Now, through a long-standing partnership with JBL, Leviton is proud to introduce five new in-ceiling and in-wall speakers to enhance the popular Leviton Architectural Edition product line and appeal to the professional installer.
These new recessed in-wall and in-ceiling speakers were engineered with the professional installer in mind given the product line’s whole-room seamless audio and visual design. Additionally, the new speakers include superior installation brackets that utilize a specialty mechanical grip to minimize vibration regardless of installation format. Optional rough-in kits and fire-rated back boxes are available for pre-construction installation in new homes and businesses creating a result that blends into any environment’s wall or ceiling architecture. Leviton Architectural Edition Powered by JBL speakers also pair perfectly with the Leviton Hi-Fi 2 distributed audio system to provide unmatchable whole house audio.
The new speakers also feature paintable and nearly invisible zero-bezel magnetic grilles that seamlessly blend into any wall or ceiling architecture in a residence or commercial setting. This is equally pleasing to audiophiles, interior designers and homeowners alike for integration into any configuration or audiovisual setup.
“The five new in-wall and in-ceiling Leviton Architectural Edition Powered by JBL speakers bring studio quality sound from the professionals to your home or business,” said James Shurte, product manager for Leviton Energy Management, Controls & Automation. “Expertly designed, Leviton Architectural Edition Powered by JBL speakers offer both enhanced aesthetics and performance that will leave you wondering how such spectacular sound seems to come out of nowhere.”
With proven acoustic superiority through rigorous testing and real-world evaluation, signature JBL loudspeaker performance provides room filling sound with clean and powerful highs. Long-throw woofers with rubber surrounds also provide high output with low distortion.
