SnapAV has introduced the Episode Impression Series satellite speaker and bandpass subwoofer, which are new multi-room in-ceiling audio solutions that deliver professional sound quality and design-friendly aesthetics in any room.
The Impression series offers 4-inch satellite speakers and a 6.5-inch bandpass subwoofer to deliver lifelike audio using Episode’s three core scientific principles: low distortion, wide dispersion, and flat-frequency response. Episode’s bezelless grilles are available in multiple colors and shapes to match any aesthetic.
Available in 2.1, 4.1, custom-sized kits, and individual SKUs, the Impression Series offers numerous configurations to fit the specific needs of any customer. The 4.1 kit comprises four Impression satellite speakers and one Impression bandpass subwoofer. What’s more, the ability to purchase individual Impression subwoofers and satellite speakers enables integrators and their clients to design and install any desired system configuration. Episode’s standard configurations range from a single pair of satellite speakers or a single subwoofer up to a 4.2 system with four satellite speakers and two subwoofers.
An Impression multi-room audio system can run from just two channels of a standard amplifier or AV receiver while maintaining a safe nominal impedance for today’s 2-channel amplifiers.
The Impression satellite speaker (model ES-IM4IC) is a 4-inch in-ceiling speaker with a carbon/aramid fiber cone and ribbed rubber surround, and is designed for simple installation in both new construction and retrofit projects. The ribbed surrounds use an inverted parabolic design to provide greater cone excursion without rippling, so the speaker can be played louder without distortion.
Using a standard 4-inch hole and accompanying round or square 5-inch bezelless grille, the satellite speakers blend in perfectly with modern 5-inch standard lighting cans. Episode also offers an in-ceiling bracket (model ES-IM4-BRKT-IC) for the satellite speakers, which makes it easy to align speakers precisely with installed lighting cans, regardless of placement. Each speaker features a high-pass switch for easy setup, and dealers can choose from black or white grilles, and both round and square are provided with each speaker to ensure end customer satisfaction.
The Impression Bandpass subwoofer (model ES-IM6-BP-SUB) is a 6.5-inch in-ceiling subwoofer that features a dual voice coil, fabric-coated paper cone with a rubber surround, along with a bandpass box that provides greater efficiency and deeper bass extension. This new-construction-only product requires mounting prior to drywall or access from above. The subwoofer uses a flexible tube to connect to a 5-inch ceiling grille so it appears identical to the other speakers throughout a room. The full speaker cabinet mounts behind ceiling drywall, so the 5-inch grille is the only piece visible. The in-ceiling bracket and pre-construction backbox are sold separately.
Designing single- and multi-room systems with Episode Impression series speakers can save as much as 30 percent on product costs. SnapAV dealers also gain 8 percent rewards on purchases, further increasing the value of Episode Impression installations.
