Leon Speakers Launches the Next Generations Of Its Horizon Ultra-Thin Series

New Custom LCR’s Combine Class-Leading Performance With Ultra-Thin Design  

By Gary Reber


 Leon Speakers, leaders in the custom high-fidelity audio industry, today introduced the next generation of its award-winning Horizon Ultra-Thin series.  Featuring two new models, both less than 2” deep, the redesigned Horizon UT and all-new Horizon UT-X-A redefine the low-profile speaker market with class-leading performance and a seamless design that perfectly complements slim LCD and LED TVs.  Combining left, center and right channels in one sleek cabinet and expertly crafted to match the exact dimensions and finish of any ultra-thin display, these new speakers bolster Leon’s mission to provide high-fidelity audio solutions for Living Space TheaterTM applications.
 
“Ultra-thin displays will continue to dominate the industry with their appeal to both designers and end users alike,”
said Noah Kaplan, President of Leon Speakers. “As an audio solutions company specifically geared towards the flat panel revolution, it is our goal to design and manufacture the highest quality speakers that complement slim displays and appeal to the CEDIA
channel. We took a risk and set a new standard with our extremely successful, award-winning ultra-thin soundbar in 2008. Now, with advancements in driver technology, we are pleased to offer this new generation of remastered ultra-thins, each featuring enhanced performance and greater dynamic range.”
 
At a mere 1.5-inches deep and 4-inches tall, the HzUT utilizes Leon’s exclusive 2.5-inch aluminum cone woofers which provide accuracy down to 120Hz. It is paired with audiophile-grade, 22mm cloth-dome tweeters to ensure extreme sonic clarity in the upper frequency range. This new multichannel speaker offers uncompromising detailed sound reproduction, perfectly complemented by Leon’s ultra-thin or in-wall subwoofers. With each cabinet custom-built to exactly match the dimensions and finish of any ultra-thin TV, the HzUT seamlessly integrates with any Living Space Theater TM equipped with an ultra-thin display.
 
When performance is paramount, the new Horizon UT-X-A makes its mark.  At less than 2-inches deep and only 4.5-inches tall, the HzUT-X-A features 3-inch glass fiber cone woofers and 1-inch cloth-dome Morel MDT-12s to produce a remarkably warm, lifelike acoustic
spectrum, capable of reaching as low as 80Hz and up to 22kHz. Custom-built to match the exact dimensions and finish of any ultra-thin display, the HzUT-X-A is sure to impress designers’ and customers’ critical eyes, as well as immerse the audiophiles’ discerning ears in its performance with phenomenal spatial imaging.
 
Both of these new ultra-thin speakers provide seamless audio solutions for the modern era of the luxury Living Space TheaterTM. The HzUT and HzUT-X-A easily mount on the wall or to any fixed or articulating bracket with Leon’s exclusive, newly simplified, universal mounting bracket. Each speaker is available in LCR, LR or Center-channel-only configurations and is custom-built to match the exact dimensions and finish of any display in only three to five business days. The HzUT and HzUT-X-A will be shipping April 15, 2011.
