Leon Speaker Solutions for Living-Space Theater™

At CEDIA EXPO 2009, Leon Speakers will reinforce its new direction as a provider of high-fidelity, immersive custom audio solutions for luxury living-space and dedicated home theaters. Living-Space Theater™ is at the intersection of high design and high-fidelity in the modern home. It includes everything from TVs above the fireplace to media servers in the basement to distributed audio in unsuspecting environments like the kitchen. At every point of interaction, it requires audio solutions that meet the needs of decorators, audio/video integrators, and ultimately, end users. Leon’s broad and customizable product line promises a high-fidelity audio experience that integrates seamlessly into any room — Living-Space Theater Defined™.

New Products on Display at CEDIA EXPO 2009:

AXIS In-Ceiling Speakers
Leon’s AXIS in-ceiling speakers are housed in fully sealed, acoustic suspension enclosures that maintain consistent high quality sound performance regardless of the environment. These speakers feature Leon’s A.R.C. (Acoustic Resonance Control) technology to eliminate unwanted standing waves for smooth, uniform frequency response. Leon’s AXIS speakers are available with 6-inch or 8-inch drivers and 1-inch cloth-dome pivoting tweeters that allow users to control the direction of the sound, thus maximizing the sonic clarity of the room.

The AXIS in-ceiling speakers will be available in September 2009 at an MSRP of $395/ea. for the AXIS 61 and $495/ea. for the AXIS 81.

AAROS 10 Passive In-Room Subwoofer and 1,000 Watt Amplifier
Leon’s new AAROS 10-inch subwoofer packs theater-grade performance along with musical finesse in a sleek compact enclosure that measures only 6.5 inches deep. Featuring a durable 10-inch aluminum cone driver, the AAROS 10 boasts high power handling at 400 watts, while resisting distortion. The AAROS 10 is available with Leon’s brand new L3-1K dual-channel, 1,000 watt subwoofer amplifier, which delivers the raw power of a pro-sound amp but carries the features and flexibility of a dedicated subwoofer amplifier.

The AAROS sub and L3-1K sub amplifier will be available Fall 2009 at an MSRP of $1,495 and $995 respectively.

At only 1.5 inches deep and standing just 3.25 inches tall, it is the audio solution of choice for the modern era of luxury Living-Space Theaters™. Each L/R channel features dual 2-inch, aluminum-dome Peerless HDS woofers for excellent sound dispersion and off-axis response (the center channel features four Peerless drivers), while classic Morel MDT-12 1-inch, hand-treated, cloth-dome tweeters provide superior sound in the upper frequency range.
