CEDIA 2007 - Sonance Flair surface mounting loudspeaker

The Sonance Flair loudspeaker is great because it will add high quality audio to just about any location. With Sonance's flexible mounting brackets all you should need is a screw driver, the mounting hardware and a little bit of time.

The mounts are round steel plats that connect to speaker wiring in J-boxes. The plate mounts with just a couple screws that come with the speaker. The speaker is held in place by the steel plate by way of some powerful neodymium magnets that are in the top of the speaker. The electrical connection is automatically made between male connecters on the speaker and female connectors in the steal plate.

After they are set up they can be rotated with a range of 90 degrees so you aim them. The guts of the speaker consist of a 5.25 inch CF cone that acts as a mid/woofer. There is also a 1-inch Ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeter.

Appearance wise it's a 10.75 inch square box that sits 2.5 inches off of the ceiling and has a removable grill that covers everything. The removable grill can also be painted so the Sonance Flair can match the rest of your room. The cost is $480 and it should be available now since it was announced at CEDIA this year.
