Sometimes you can truly strike gold with Amazon’s “Gold Box Deal of the Day” but you have to strike fast because they only last one day. The today-only deal for October 2 is a great one if you’re in the market for in-ceiling speakers, as Amazon’s Gold Box deal brings a great discount on the MartinLogan Helos20 In-Ceiling Speaker with Paintable Frame and Grille. The speaker ordinarily goes for $399 a pop but today has been discounted to just $149. As an architectural speaker, it’s… View this story

Q. Can a center channel in a 5.1 system be placed in the ceiling over the screen pointing downward, or does it have to be placed underneath the screen facing outward? - Clint, Bowie, Md Rob Schultz of Inspired Electronics offers this advice: The ideal place for a center channel is actually in the middle of the screen. Of course, that’s impossible unless you put a speaker behind an acoustically transparent screen. The next best place is immediately above or below the screen. The reason… View this story

Small room got your audio hopes down? Perhaps there’s no good place to locate those killer speakers you’ve been dreaming of. Or maybe, like many of us, you have a very significant other with very significant needs—as in “don’t even think about bringing that big speaker near my family room.” It doesn’t have to be big loudspeaker or bust. Loudspeakers for stereo and home theater systems can be concealed in a variety of innovative ways. There are many different in-wall and in-ceiling speakers that fit… View this story

The economy has shown signs of recovery. Housing and oil prices have begun to stabilize, and some economists are predicting a turnaround later this year. Consumers may soon start spending money again on their favorite activities, including home theater and music. Architectural loudspeakers can be a secret weapon that could win a share of that spending, as they’re ideal for multiroom audio systems and dedicated theater rooms in which you don’t want to “see the sound” but still enjoy it. Architectural loudspeakers are made up… View this story

At first glance, this kitchen might look like any other kitchen. But what’s under the surface makes for an incredible recipe, cooked up by custom electronics pro Audio Video Concepts. The kitchen starts with one part audio, which is supplied by a Niles GXR2 multizone receiver and a pair of Niles CM710 ceiling mount speakers. These speakers are controlled by a Niles display keypad. If the chef needs a remote closer in the kitchen, he or she can use the i-remote. From these controls, the… View this story

Thinking about putting in-wall speakers in an exterior wall, or installing in-ceiling speakers in an insulated ceiling? Don’t do it, says green designer and consultant Michael Anschel of North Minneapolis-based Otogawa-Anschel Design-Build and presenter of a recent CEDIA webinar, “Green Ideas to Stay Competitive.” “It is a terrible idea to put a hole in any insulated surface, especially a ceiling, unless you have to,” Anschel says. The reason is airflow. Speakers aren’t good insulators, so you’ll be losing warm air out of that hole in… View this story

We hope your custom electronics professional is able to find the new speakers from Sonance when he opens the box—they’ll be part of the Invisible Speaker Series, so it could be tricky. Sonance, which specializes in architectural loudspeakers that blend in with your walls and ceilings, is now shipping its new Invisible line of products, which include the SA3 and SA1.5 omnidirectional loudspeakers and the SAW subwoofer. All three are highlighted by perfectly flat, acoustically transparent vellum overlay, which can be painted or even wallpapered… View this story

Q. Can you recommend some low cost, super good in-ceiling speakers? - Anonymous A. Low cost AND super good? These two things don’t usually go together, especially when discussing speakers. Also, there are literally hundreds of different speaker manufacturers out there. I would try to find a good, custom brand of speaker as opposed to whatever happens to be on the shelf at my local electronics retailer. You can pretty much be assured that products designed and sold by custom installers are of a better… View this story

Bowers and Wilkins (B&W) has introduced its XT 8 mid-sized tower speaker at CES 2009 in Las Vegas. It uses proprietary FST (fixed-suspension transducer) technology for its mid-frequency accuracy. It also has a B&W Nautilus tweeter “pod” on the top, a metal-dome high-frequency driver that helps prevent acoustic diffraction. The XT 8 features twin 5-inch woofers and uses paper/Kevlar composite with bottom-octave extension of 34Hz. Available finishes: satin brushed aluminum or gloss black aluminum exteriors with black grilles. B&W’s XT 8 will ship in Q1.… View this story

Leave it up to a renowned Boston-area chef to rock out to speakers with ‘Boston’ in their name. The Blue Ginger in Wellesley, MA, underwent an expansion earlier this year, and chef Ming Tsai’s lauded restaurant turned to Boston Acoustics to add some music to the atmosphere. Boston Acoustics turned to custom installer Andrew Himmer and Audio Video Experience of Hampton Falls, NH, to outfit the restaurant with 28 in-ceiling speakers—24 PRi685CV models and four PRi85SubCV models. “In creating our new space for Blue Ginger,… View this story

Subwoofers sure ain’t what they used to be. Yeah, you can still get that giant cube subwoofer that doubles as a solid furniture stand in your media room. You can even get some sleeker models these days that stow unobtrusively in the walls or behind the couch, tucked out of the way. Then there’s Sonance’s BPS-1 Bandpass Subwoofer. It’s from the same company that’s found architecturally pleasing ways to hide the rest of your speakers so you can turn home theater surround sound into a… View this story

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a light, it’s—a speaker? SpeakerCraft just announced its super-small NEAT 3 in-walls, which are designed to look just like the miniature can of a light. I would probably rather look at a speaker than a light, but the idea is that the unit only takes up a small amount of space, while blending nicely into any background. “Looking at the popularity of small flush-mounted spotlights inspired us to design a loudspeaker to match,” says Jeremy Burkhardt,… View this story
