ORLANDO, FL March 13, 2008 Control4 Corporation, a leader in affordable IP-based control and entertainment systems, today announced the release of a new speaker line at the 2008 EHX Show (booth #1112) that includes the Control4ฎ 6.5 and 8 In-Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers and the Control4ฎ 6.5 and 8 In-Ceiling Stereo Speakers. These new, two-way speakers further Control4s commitment to provide its dealers, customers and retail partners with a diverse line of affordable surround sound and whole-home audio solutions. Our new speakers make spectacular sound possible in any room and deliver superior surround sound effects where aesthetic considerations preclude wall mounting conventional surround speakers, said Will West, Chief Executive Officer, Control4. Were pleased to be able to facilitate affordable audio solution selection, integration and implementation with this new product line, giving our dealers a wide range of choices that fit the needs of the broadest range of customers. By significantly reducing complexity and cost, Control4s speaker line becomes an attractive one-stop option for both new construction and retrofit solutions. Likewise for retrofitting environments where speaker wiring is not practical, the Control4ฎ speaker solutions combine seamlessly with the Control4ฎ Wi-Fi Speaker Point. The full multi-room audio solution can be configured for virtually any home or office with the Control4ฎ Multi-Channel Amplifier, the Control4ฎ Multi Tuner and the newly released Control4ฎ HC-500 with a 160 GB hard drive. Key features of the new line include:
For limited spaces (e.g., master closet or small hallway), the in-ceiling stereo speaker option can be wired to deliver full, two-channel stereo sound from a single loud speaker, providing great sound quality with only one unobtrusive round ceiling grille showing
Speakers feature dual polymer cones, silk dome tweeters, rubber surrounds, high-temperature voice coils, advanced computer optimized crossovers and simple rotating clamp mounting
When used as surround speakers, the tweeter can be pivoted away towards the rear or sidewalls to deliver a diffuse upper midrange and high frequency creating a convincing, three-dimensional surround sound Seven new speaker models round out the Control4 offering. These models include:
