Phase Technologys New In-Wall Speaker Provides Two-in-One Performance

JACKSONVILLE, FL — January 5, 2005 — Phase Technology, the leading manufacturer of high-fidelity speakers for custom home entertainment systems, is introducing the newest addition to its respected Custom Installation series of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers at CES 2005. The CI-150 is the first in-wall speaker to combine in a single model the functions of a center channel theater speaker and the L/R channel speaker. The new design allows custom installers to mount a speaker on each side of a home theater video display, yet produce all the sound quality and accuracy of a third, center-channel speaker. The CI-150 will be displayed along with Phase Technology’s all-digital home theater speaker system, custom in-ceiling, outdoor speakers, and more, in Booth #20707 in the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall 1.

“Phase Technology’s new CI-150 in-wall speaker opens up completely new possibilities for custom installers who want more flexibility in designing a high-performance home theater,” said Ken Hecht, president of Phase Technology. “One pair of CI-150’s gives listeners all the performance of two L/R speakers as well as a center channel speaker, while maintaining a more seamless aesthetic effect. This is the perfect solution for customers whose theater doesn’t have space for a center channel speaker, or for those who simply prefer the streamlined look of one speaker on either side of their video display.”

Each CI-150 features two 5-1/4″ woofers and a 1″ soft dome tweeter that function as the left or right channel, as well as another 5-1/4″ woofer and 1″ tweeter that performs as one half of the center channel speaker. With another CI-150 operating in tandem, viewers experience center channel sound as produced by the perfectly matched pairs of woofers and tweeters, while each speaker’s left and right drivers operate discretely from one another. As an in-wall speaker, the CI-150 provides outstanding sound in a subtle design that puts the sound in the spotlight and won’t take away from the effect of the existing decor.

The CI-150 comes with its own aluminum enclosure, features a 1″ MDF baffle, and utilizes Phase Technology’s patented Positive Clamping system to ensure the speakers perform without any unwanted vibration. As with all of Phase Technology speakers, it also incorporates the patented Absolute Phase crossover, which produces a balanced soundstage for each listener, regardless of their location in the room. The CI-150 will be available in the second quarter of 2005.
