Design and Features
• The Architectural Series bracket’s unique design allows it to actually become part of the wall or ceiling,
so the speakers can be truly flush-mounted with their grilles per fectly aligned with the plane of the wall
or ceiling sur face.
• Three dif ferent footprint sizes provide a sense of visual context for any size room. Each footprint size is
available in three geometric forms (rectangular, round and square) that quietly compliment your room’s
design elements.
• Four dif ferent Architectural Finish Component options make it easy to choose a look for the speakers that
suits your room’s design, and allow you to change the speakers’ look to keep up with changes in your
room’s design:
– Paintable per forated metal with trim
– Paintable per forated metal without trim
– Paintable cloth with trim
– Paintable cloth without trim
The Z8 model is also available in a black or white Fascia version that has no grille.
• Two different performance levels let you choose your desired level of audio performance: Z-series speakers
feature reference-quality ber yllium drivers; X-series speakers feature audiophile-quality carbon fiber drivers.
• Cast aluminum baf fles and woofer frames maintain precise tolerances and reduce resonances, delivering
superior sound quality for a lifetime.
• Pivoting drivers direct the speakers’ sound towards listeners for better per formance in stereo and home
theater installations.
• Adjustable midrange and tweeter levels fine-tune the speakers’ per formance for your room or your
personal taste.
