Wide Dispersion Pattern Is Another First For SpeakerCraft

New AIM models to be situation specific

November 13, 2006

SpeakerCraft, the world leader in custom installed audio products, announces the debut of its first ceiling speaker with an ultra-wide dispersion pattern. Created in the same footprint as their award winning AIM 8 series, the AIM WIDE models share the same woofers as their popular counterparts but the similarities end there. Mounted directly above the woofer is a radically different mid/tweeter module. The dual 1" tweeters and dual 2" midrange drivers are set at a fixed 70 degree angle to each other. This geometry creates a dramatically dispersed sound field, which is extremely desirable in certain situations. “Our original intention was to create a ceiling mounted speaker dedicated to rear channel surround in home theater applications.” said Jeff Francisco, SpeakerCraft’s V.P. of Engineering “However, it quickly became apparent that this speaker was also perfect for multi-room audio installations where the intention is to fill a room with high quality ambient or background music. Just because a room isn’t dedicated to critical listening in a fixed location or ‘sweet-spot’ doesn’t mean people don’t want great fidelity.” The AIM WIDE series will consist of two models, the models Two and Three. The voicing will match the comparable models throughout the rest of the SpeakerCraft line, allowing dealers to mix and match the AIM WIDE series with other in-wall, in-ceiling and cabinet models. SpeakerCraft, established in 1976, devoted itself for more than a decade to the design and development of architectural loudspeakers and became known as the prime OEM for many well-known, in-wall speaker brands in the field. In marketing its own brand, now one of the widest lines of architectural speakers in the industry, SpeakerCraft brings with it years of experience and a dedication to dealer satisfaction.
