NextLevel Acoustics Audio Art turns the frame around your TV into a high-performance integrated surround sound system, with speakers built directly inside the frame.

September 1, 2025

Press Release

 NextLevel Acoustics is redefining high-end residential and commercial audio with its Audio Art collection, launching at CEDIA 2025. Each piece is a fully integrated surround sound system built directly inside the frame of stunning artwork, not hidden behind it, offering three customizable formats: LCR with dual center, LCR with height channels, and Stereo. Quad sound modules, designer grille fabrics styled like a picture matte, and custom frame finishes allow Audio Art to blend seamlessly into any space while delivering immersive, gallery-quality audio.

From Lee Weber, Co-owner NextLevel Acoustics: “With Audio Art, we’ve erased the boundary between high-performance audio and fine art. It’s more than sound you can hear—it’s beauty you can see, an immersive experience that transforms your space without compromising its design.”

Also on display will be NextLevel Acoustics’ award-winning line of custom soundbars, including the debut of the new Fusion Flex and the industry-leading Fusion Frame soundbar solutions designed specifically for Samsung’s the Frame TVs.

Adding to the lineup, NextLevel will showcase its CI-IW10RS PRO subwoofer, which has garnered strong praise for redefining what’s achievable in 2×4-construction bass performance. Together with the Audio Art collection, these products underscore NextLevel Acoustics’ commitment to blending high-performance audio with innovative, design-forward solutions for the modern home.

Audio Art Surround Sound System Options: LCR, Height, and Stereo Configurations

Pro Tip: All Audio Art speaker system configurations are passive, requiring external amplification (not included).

LCR (Left, Dual Center, Right): This configuration features four integrated sound modules (Left, Dual Center, Right) built directly inside the frame. Each module houses quad 2.5″ drivers paired with a 1″ tweeter, designed to wrap around the display for an immersive front-stage experience.

LCR + Height Channels: This configuration includes four integrated sound modules (LCR + Heights) built directly inside the frame, wrapping around the display. To maximize channel separation, the left and right drivers are positioned slightly lower for optimized spatial audio performance. The LCR modules feature quad 2.5″ drivers with 1-inch tweeters, while the height channel modules house dual 2.5-inch drivers with 1-inch tweeters for immersive, three-dimensional sound.

Stereo (Left + Right): This configuration includes two integrated sound modules (Left and Right) built directly inside the frame, accompanied by two grille-only modules that wrap around the display. Each active module houses quad 2.5-inch drivers with a 1-inch tweeter, delivering precise stereo imaging and a full, immersive soundstage.

Designer Grille Options for Audio Art Frames: Custom Fabrics and Finishes

Audio Art frames feature 45-degree Guilford of Maine designer grilles that wrap seamlessly around the sound modules, creating the illusion of a picture mat. With over 25 fabric options available, these grilles allow you to match the speakers and frames to a wide range of room decors, blending high-performance audio seamlessly with your interior design.

Custom Finishes for Seamless Integration

The Audio Art system is finished with a standard 1″ wide x 3″ deep frame, or a custom-depth frame to accommodate displays deeper than 3″ (depth + mount). Choose from hundreds of Benjamin Moore custom colors, or explore wood veneer and stain options for a tailored look.

Audio Art can be used with Samsung Frame TVs using a special IR badge modification, or with any display that has no protrusions below the screen (such as IR sensors) that would prevent the sound modules from mounting extremely close—within approximately 1/8 inches of the display.
