As one might expect from Flexson, the Sonos accessory specialist has a trio of installation options for the recently launched Sonos Amp-- the SA-WM Wall Mount, SA-X4WM Wall Mount for 4 Sonos Amps and the SA-X4DK Dock, also for 4 Sonos Amps.
The SA-WM allows installers to mount the Sonos Amp to the wall. It measures 288 x 217 x 70mm, and features a bespoke plate attached to the wall allowing one to securely slide the Amp in place. A cable cover colour-matched to the Amp hides wires. The mount also allows customers to mount the amplifier to the back of a TV using VESA mounts.
It offers power output rated at 650W, as delivered to 8 drivers consisting of two 4- x 6-inch woofers, four 2-inch midranges and two 3/4-inch tweeters. In addition, a subwoofer output allows connection to an external-powered subwoofer to further enhance low frequencies. A 3-position EQ switch allows customers to set the EQ as based on the specific room and listening preferences.
Focal introduces the 100 IWSUB8-- a passive bass-reflex subwoofer designed for in-wall mounting-- together with the 100 IWSUB8 dedicated amplifier to the 100 series of discreet audio solutions.
“We are excited to return to the custom install category with these new amplifiers and speakers," the company says. "Many of our traditional home audio products have been used for distributed audio applications by talented CI installers. We are happy to once again offer products specifically designed for custom installation.”
The S360 features a 10-inch high efficiency woofer and a 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression tweeter housed in an extended directivity control waveguide, housed in a low diffraction enclosure with Finnish woodwork. The result, the company says, delivers neutral reproduction with a short-term SPL capability of 118dB with even higher peaks. It is also features a long-throw capability, being able to deliver studio quality accuracty at listening distances of over 10m.
