Artison announced the introduction of their New LCR In-Wall speakers at CEDIA EXPO 2008 in Booth 710, Sept. 4-7 in Denver, Colorado. Engineered by world-renowned speaker designer Cary Christie and the Artison Design Team, the new In-Wall versions of the popular attachable LCRs Masterpiece, Portrait and Sketch are now available. The In-Wall LCRs allow integrators and designers more options for creating an aesthetically pleasing home theater look for their clients—especially in tight spaces where an in-wall installation is preferred. Just as with the attachable models, what distinguishes Artison’s full line of in-wall LCR speakers from all others available on the market is the company’s exclusive DualMono® Center Channel technology. This technology integrates the center channels into the upper portion of both the right and left speaker housing producing an identically matched monaural sound, effectively placing crisp, clear dialogue in the center of the screen, rather than above or below as with a typical center channel speaker. This eliminates the need for a separate center channel enclosure. The advantage: Easy to install and exceptional sound for movies, games or music.
