Leon Speakers, leaders in the custom high-fidelity audio industry, has redesigned its entire lineup of Vault Series in-wall speakers from the ground up to simplify the installation process, provide an incredibly sleek design aesthetic, and ultimately better serve a variety of applications. Each speaker now features a re-engineered, easy-to-install mounting system in a fully sealed and tuned MDF cabinet. In addition, the Vault Series utilizes an extremely thin form factor magnetic grill that can be custom painted in-house to match any color or paint code. They have also each been outfitted with new crossover designs, producing natural, uncolored sound not typically found in an in-wall speaker. The redesigned Vault Series will be on display at CEDIA EXPO 2012 at the Leon Speakers booth, #3573 from September 5-8, 2012.
“Our customers have always relied on our speaker systems to deliver a perfect blend of performance and design,” said Ted Bott, Executive Vice President of Sales. “With the thoughtful re-engineering of our Vault Series, we can now offer even easier installation and an updated design aesthetic. Our design team did a fantastic job as they held true to our passion for ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ craftsmanship and Leon’s signature sound, even under relatively extreme cabinet constraints. The new Vault Series is pure Leon through and through.”
Originally introduced in 2009, the Vault Series of in-wall speakers can be used to create high-performance home theater systems, or they can be used as rear channels to complement the Horizon or Profile Series speakers. Unlike other in-walls on the market, the Vault Series feature fully-sealed cabinets that are hand-crafted from the finest materials and components to deliver uncompromising quality in both construction and performance. These unique in-walls are easily installed pre- or post-construction and come equipped with high-performance woofers and tweeters, providing a truly integrated sound solution.
At a depth of only 3.75-inches Leon’s v114i, v114i-X-A, v115i-X-A and vUltima-i fit in any standard wall. They come equipped with 4-inch (v114i and v114i-X-A) and 5-inch (v115-X-A and vUltima-i) drivers and 1-inch tweeters for uncompromising sound quality. The new crossover designs aim to control the woofers and provide proper damping in wall. The result is a natural sound, rivaling even the best in room speakers.
For reference theaters, bigger rooms and large format displays, Leon’s v631i 3-way in-wall speaker features SEAS woofers and Morel horn-loaded tweeters to deliver theater-grade, dynamic sound with superb clarity. Measuring less than 6″ deep, they can be easily framed into any 2″ x 6″ stud wall. All of Leon’s in-wall speakers are 100% hand-crafted in Ann Arbor, MI, from the entry level v114i to the 3-way v631i for dedicated theater.
