CAMPBELL, CA–(Marketwire - August 31, 2009) - Focus Enhancements, Inc., - a leading supplier of wireless audio technologies, announces its partnership with Aperion Audio, a consumer direct maker of award-winning home theater speaker systems. The two companies are joining efforts to offer consumers the first home theater system with Focus Enhancements’ Summit wireless technology (”Summit”). Aperion’s Intimus® 5 series speakers will be showcased at CEDIA Expo and plans to introduce similar home theater speakers with integrated Summit technology in the first half of 2010.

The out-of-box experience for consumers installing a home theater surround sound system has long been plagued with challenges and frustrations due to the complexity of speaker placement, calibrating audio for desired listening position, burying wires or drilling holes to hide wires, which could take hours and require hiring a professional installer. These obstacles have been overcome, in addition to delivering high fidelity audio wirelessly, with Summit enabled Aperion speakers.

“Aperion Audio has built its reputation with home theater audio enthusiasts delivering high quality speakers at a value and is constantly researching new technologies to enhance the user experience,” said Ed de la Fuente, vice president of marketing, Aperion. “We are thrilled to offer a reliable and robust wireless solution with Summit, giving customers the superior audio fidelity they deserve, with a simple, hassle-free setup in minutes.”

  • Aperion Audio Introduces New In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers

    The New Intimus 6-IC In-Ceiling and 6-IW In-Wall Speakers give discriminating listeners more control over sound and esthetics.

    Portland, OR (PRWEB) May 27, 2009 - Aperion Audio, a direct-to-consumer manufacturer of award-winning home audio and home theater speakers, this week announced enhanced versions of their in-wall and in-ceiling speakers which include aimable audiophile grade silk-dome tweeters, and bass and treble adjustment switches — one of the features normally found only with more expensive in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. The new Aperion architectural speakers are voiced to blend seamlessly with the rest of the Intimus line of award-winning speakers.

    “Our new line of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are an effective solution to the challenge of achieving excellence in sound for the music and movie lover, while also satisfying the interior design conscious who enjoy the invisibility of speakers set into the wall or ceiling,” says Aperion Product Development Lead, Mike Hopkins.

    Aperion’s Lead Audio Speaker Engineer, Ken Humphreys, notes that once installed, an in-wall or in-ceiling speaker is fixed at a specific point in a room, making adjustments difficult. “The advantage of aimable tweeters for in-wall speakers is that the directional treble frequencies can either be aimed into the listening area for most applications or away from the listening area in order to get a more diffuse, ambient sound that is desirable in surround sound use. And since this type of speaker may or may not get placed near bass-boosting side-walls, we felt it was important to have a bass adjusting feature. From a design point of view, this is fairly hard to do as it requires the woofer to have two voice coils, one of them dedicated to the bass adjusting signal from a separate section on the crossover,” says Humphreys.

    The Aperion Audio Intimus In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers
    As the newest speakers in Aperion Audio’s acclaimed Intimus line, the 6-IW and 6-IC are not only built for visual assimilation in any home, but also produce fantastic, immersive sound with high-end features. In addition to aimable tweeters, the Intimus 6-IC In-Ceiling speaker features an angled woofer which may be pointed toward the “sweet spot” during installation.

    Both Include:

    - 6.5″ high performance woven-fiberglass dual-voice coil woofer
    - Aimable silk-dome tweeter for direct high frequency control
    - Bass and treble adjustment switches
    - Paintable frame and grill to match any décor
    - Installation templates and easy instructions
