JACKSONVILLE, FL — January 5, 2005 — Phase Technology, the designer of cutting-edge home speakers and audio technology, is unveiling at CES 2005 its new on-wall speaker, which is designed to complement the look of plasmas and other flatscreen video displays. The new model features a slim, crescent-shaped design that makes a spectacular accent when installed around wall-mounted flat panel displays. Phase Technology will show the new speaker, as well as its full line of innovative home theater, custom in-wall/in-ceiling, outdoor speakers, and more at Booth #20707 of the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall 1.
“Each Phase Technology speaker is designed to raise our customers’ expectations for audio performance, and our new plasma speakers package that performance with a look that’s going to floor visitors to our booth at CES,” said Ken Hecht, president of Phase Technology. “Their highly-stylized profile is a perfect match for the contemporary look of flatscreen video displays, and with our proven drivers and audio engineering, they give theater enthusiasts the audio realism that creates an outstanding movie experience.”
Phase Technology’s plasma speakers each feature dual 5-1/4″ woofers as well as the company’s own 1″ soft dome tweeter. The speaker will come in both a black finish and metallic silver to let installers create a seamless look for the entire entertainment system no matter which model flat panel display is used. Phase Technology will ship the new speaker model in quarter 2 of 2005.
