Phase Technology Develops Universal Flange For Flush Mount Line

CI-FGR/T offers sound field precision-tuning with 15 degree tilt

September 12, 2006

Phase Technology, the leading manufacturer of high-fidelity speakers for custom home entertainment systems, introduces the CI-FGR/T universal flange to fit all Phase Tech CI series round in-ceiling products.The CI-FGR/T provides a 15˚ angled mounting option for precision tuning and an accurate sound field. In addition, the CI-FGR/T gives the installer and home owner the ability to swap out speakers ranging from $300 – $900 per pair - - giving flexibility to upgrade or take speakers to a new home. Tony Weber, Director of Sales & Marketing for Phase Technology commented, “Because many homes today are wired to place all home theater speakers in the ceiling, we engineered the CI-FGR/T so one round flange/grille set fits all Phase Tech speakers. As a result, homeowners can easily exchange models to upgrade performance or hit a price point, or take them along to a new home. It also allows the dealer to only have to inventory one SKU, rather than separate models for flat and angled ceiling applications. ”While lesser manufacturers provide a line of speakers which either tilt or pivot to aim the sound at the listener, Phase Tech offers one solution that does both - - saving time and money.The CI-FGR/T will be displayed at CEDIA booths 412 & SR7.
