Phase Technology Redefines Versatility With The CI-70 In-Wall Speaker; New Custom Installation Series Rectangular In-Wall Offers Detailed 3-Way Performance, Fastest-Mounting Baffle, And Unsurpassed Upgrade Flexibility

22-Sep-04

Phase Technology announced the newest addition to its Custom Installation Family, the CI-70 Series VII Rectangular In-Wall Speaker. The CI-70 Series VII features three-way performance with a mid-range driver and user-adjustable tweeter, each mounted off-axis to produce exceptional clarity and expanded dynamics over an entire collection of movies and music. In addition to improved audio performance, the CI-70 Series VII uses Phase Technologyís patent-pending QuickMount and Universal Flange and Grille design to shorten installation time and give installers more freedom than ever to create flexible home theater and multi-room sound systems. The CI-70 Series VII will ship in September at a suggested retail price of $425 each. ìThe new Series VII Custom Installation Family is designed from the ground up to be the installerís solution for building high-performance in-wall speaker systems--faster and with the same outstanding level of performance on every job,î said Roberta Lewis, vice president of sales and marketing of Phase Technology. ìWith our new QuickMount mounting mechanism, the Series VII speakers deliver incredible flexibility and performance.î The new model features a 7-inch cone woofer──the largest in the series──made from mineral-filled, injection-molded polypropylene for a high stiffness-to-mass ratio that produces powerful lows while maintaining tight responses. The speakerís 1î tweeter and 1.5-inch mid-range drivers use Phase Technologyís patented soft dome design, adapted from the PC 9.1 tower, and are mounted off-axis to avoid the diffracted effects that build between sound waves produced by vertically aligned drivers. In addition, the user-adjustable tweeter enables sound to be directed to the listening area to enhance the overall entertainment experience. Phase Technologyís CI Series VII is the first speaker family to feature the exclusive, patent- pending QuickMount baffle. Combined with Phase Technologyís Universal Flange and Grille, the Series VII is the most flexible in-wall solution available today. QuickMount baffles have four flip-latches that swivel to instantly lock onto flange mounting posts. Installers donít have to touch a single screw when placing them. And the universally designed flanges accept five different CI-Rectangular models so installers can fully prepare job sites─prewiring, mounting and painting flanges and grilles─ordering speakers only when homeowners are ready. QuickMount also lets installers quickly upgrade and downgrade speakers at any time without having to retouch any paint since baffles are easily removed from flanges, which donít need to be detached. The CI-70 also features Phase Technologyís Absolute Phase Crossover, which ensures all drivers operate acoustically and electronically in-phase. This guarantees a deep and defined soundstage that reveals no seams even when sound effects traverse vertical or horizontal extremes of the listening area. With seats positioned off-center and speakers installed in out-of-the-way positions─even turned on their side─the CI-70ís Absolute Phase Crossover gives each listener their own personal sweet spot and an immersive movie and music experience.For more info on Phase Technology Corporation, please visit their website at www.phasetech.com.
