New SpeakerCraft Sound Pillows Provide Two Surface Mounted Speaker Options

Perfect Solution When No Installation Depth Is Available [The following is a release from SpeakerCraft]

November 3, 2008

SpeakerCraft, America's original manufacturer of in-wall speakers is pleased to announce the Sound Pillows. These softly sculpted surface mount speakers can be mounted on any solid surface with only a small cutout for the wire terminations. "Making things easy for the installers is one of our prime concerns," said Dave Donald, SpeakerCraft's V.P. of Marketing. "The Sound Pillows take ease of installation to a new level." Installers have a choice of two mounting methods depending on the surface. A "dog frame" allows for installation in standard drywall with flip-out dogs that sandwich the drywall like a standard in-wall speaker. A mounting plate is then attached to the frame. This mounting plate also contains the speaker wire connections. Wires are attached to the plate and the connections to the speaker itself take place automatically when the speaker is connected to the plate and secured with two push-in tabs. The mounting plate can also be directly mounted to the wall surface or to a junction box if desired. The speaker is once again connected by simply pressing it onto the mounting plate and pushing in the mounting tabs. "These are great speakers for MDU applications where cutting into the wall is either not allowed or not preferred." Said Jeremy Burkhardt, SpeakerCraft's CEO. "Since the speakers technically reside in the room instead of in the wall there are also no sound transmission concerns that are often a problem in luxury apartments or condominiums. The speakers can also be easily removed and taken to another location when the owner moves." The woofer is a 5 1/4-inch Kevlar® driver with a 1-inch coaxially mounted, pivoting, silk dome tweeter. The Sound Pillows are available in either round or square versions with identical driver configurations and sonic performance. 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 and electronics in the industry, SpeakerCraft brings with it years of experience and a dedication to dealer satisfaction.
