According to Alex Zaliauskas, Director of Product Management for speakers at Snap One, "the new line sets a new standard for Episode audio products, enabling stunning home theater and multimedia experiences for all customers."
"These are the best Episode products we’ve ever developed," adds Zaliauskas. "Our Partner integrators have long trusted Episode to provide high-performance speakers at an incredible value, and Episode Home Theater takes that goal to new heights. We've dedicated countless hours to meticulously curating the finest drivers and components for this line of speakers, setting a new standard of sound reproduction and raising the bar for the Episode brand."
Included in the expanded family of Episode Home Theater speakers are two performance levels: Episode Home Theater and Episode Home Theater Reference. The six Episode Home Theater Series models employ a common set of materials and components to ensure consistent performance when mixed and matched, even with products from different Episode product lines. This offers Snap One Partners the flexibility to build the best customized solutions. The lineup includes a 6" tower speaker, 6" in-room monitor speaker, 6" in-room LCR speaker, 4" in-room/on-wall height speaker, and 4" on-wall LCR speaker.
The series features rigid MDF cabinets that limit vibration, carbon fiber woofers, low-distortion 1" aluminum dome tweeters, second order Linkwitz-Riley filters and acoustically-transparent local magnetic grilles. All in-room models are available in color options of gloss black, gloss white and walnut veneer to match room decor.
For projects that demand even higher performance, integrators can specify the Episode Home Theater Reference Series. As the pinnacle of the Episode speaker portfolio, the Home Theater Reference line offers the highest fidelity possible without compromise, faithfully reproducing sound with an exclusive Coherent Source Module, upgraded crossovers, and an adaptable lineup of architectural in-wall and in-ceiling options.
"The Episode Home Theater Reference line represents the ultimate expression of Episode’s design philosophy," Zaliauskas reinforces. "The line marries its acoustic design philosophy of ‘sound based on science’ with a focus on improving the Partner experience with captivating visual designs and flexible, intentional installation options."
The Episode Home Theater Reference series enables truly immersive experiences for movies and audio at home with faithful reproduction of sound. The series includes a 6" in-room tower speaker and 6" in-room LCR speaker along with a 4" in-ceiling LCR speaker, 6" in-wall surround speaker, 6" medium in-wall LCR speaker and 6" large in-wall LCR speaker.
Each model features a Coherent Source Module that directs frequencies to specific speakers in 2-way and 3-way designs, as well as the brand new Reference Tower 4-way design, which sets a new standard in the lineup. The series also features a solid MDF cabinet, 1" aluminum dome tweeters, an aluminum dome midrange or wide band transducers, carbon fiber woofers and second order Linkwitz-Riley filters with Zobel impedance matching.
The whole Episode Home Theater Family offers full support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro3D immersive surround sound sources. "Crucially, the new family ensures that every Snap One Partner can deploy high-performance audio experiences for their customers, even if they don't have authorized access to other dedicated home theater brands," Zaliauskas explains.
