OVERVIEW

Speakers mounted in the ceiling or within walls have been considered the preferred method for producing distributed audio for architectural applications given their space saving advantages.

><

With traditional passive speakers, the audio is generated using a combination of woofer cones, mid-range cones, tweeters, cross-over networks, and large overhanging magnetic structures making them heavy and generally requiring clearances of considerable depth for mounting. In addition to the speakers, remotely installed amplification and processing is provided by multi-channel controllers and or discrete power amplifiers with access using keypads or system specific applictions on selected devices, depending on the specification and scope of application. 

><

Our ultimate goal is to advance the state of the art with a paradigm shift.  This is achieved by offering an architectural speaker solution whose form factor excels in installation options and simplicity, functionality, versatility, exceptional sound, industrial design, and superb build quality.

><

Aural Smart Speaker is the new way forward.  This pioneering system has all of the acoustic advantages of a large woofer-cone diameter with a diaphragm radiating area of 35.375 in^2 (227 cm^2) and a mounted depth of only 1.5 inches (38.1 mm).  With its very low weight of less than two pounds and extremely slim profile, it can be installed practically anywhere using familiar mounting toggles with a maximum of 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) mounting thickness.

><

While typical passive hidden speakers rely primarily on remotely installed amplification and control, the Aural Smart Speaker incorporates all the necessary components for full functionality into one self-sufficient platform enabling uncompromising performance.  We have developed a low-voltage multi-function electronics package integrated into the designed specific form-factor which delivers amplification and processing, Ethernet and Wi-Fi network connectivity, multi-zone Bluetooth, Airplay-2, and Spotify Connect streaming capabilities, with input/output line-level and power pass-through.

><

The multitude of remarkable features and benefits are a distant value added to the amazing sound the Aural Smart Speaker is capable of producing. The main cone profile is optimized for fast long excursions, this low-mass single driver incorporates a whizzer with no need for a tweeter or cross-overs, with an innovative design of extremely compact and powerful magnetic circuit motor, complemented by our advanced and highly capable electronics package, the system delivers audio with outstanding clarity, exceptional fidelity, detail, soundstage,  dynamics, layering, and highly articulated deep bass.
