AZURE’s woofers utilize Atlantic Technology’s new low resonance formed fiberglass cones. The cones are designed in a new curved shape to reduce distortion. The woofers use high-temperature voice coils with a magnet structure and a vented pole piece along with butyl rubber surrounds to ensure audiophile performance. The woofer is contained in a non-resonant enclosure design with a horn-shaped profile for wide uniform mid-range dispersion.
High frequencies are handled by the coated silk dome Low Resonance Tweeter (LRT). These wide dispersion tweeters utilize Ferrofluid cooling and efficient Neodymium magnets and have a lower crossover point than that of typical in-ceiling speakers. They also have a computer-optimized second order network composed of precision audiophile-grade components and a resettable poly switch protection circuit. The tweeters are mounted on a new bridge designed to reduce interaction with the woofer, and 30-degree orbital pivoting allows installers to optimize sound to the listening area.
AZURE AZ600 6.5-inch is $300 and the AZURE AZ610 6.5-inch and AZ810 8-inch are $350 and $550, respectively. The AZURE AZ620 6.5-inch and AZ820 8-inch are tri-mode dual-voice coil/dual tweeter thin bezel speakers and can be configured for conventional mono use, single-point stereo or dipole surround. They are $400 for the AZ620 and $500 for the AZ820.
Installer-friendly features include ultra-thin bezel paintable magnetic grilles, secure quick-clamp mounting and heavy-duty, push-on terminals. Available are optional square thin bezel grilles, back boxes and pre-construction brackets. Both series of in-ceiling speakers integrate perfectly with the brand’s in-wall subwoofers.
