Episode® 700 Series In-Ceiling Speakers with 8 in. Woofers (Pair)

We've combined the strength of Kevlar™ with the natural damping qualities of paper in a unique woofer material. A multi-step drying process during manufacturing enables these drivers to retain a natural, open cell structure that results in well-damped, neutral acoustic characteristics. This speaker features an 8-inch version of this driver, further enhancing low-frequency performance.

Most dome tweeters are spherical...so why isn't the tweeter in the ES-700? The oblong (catenary curve) shape of this tweeter produces more off-axis acoustic energy. The translation: a wider, more engaging soundstage with an open, forward sound.

In multi-room audio installations, no two rooms are alike. Floor coverings, drapes, windows and furniture all impact how a speaker sounds in a room. With the ES-700, you can quickly adjust the tweeter's output by 3db to compensate for rooms with more or less sound absorbing materials. The same adjustment can be made to the woofer to compensate for installations near walls and corners that might otherwise cause a speaker to sound "boomy".

We don't over-engineer the construction of Episode speakers just so that they survive bouncing around in your van (although that's important). Our build quality also eliminates one of the most common problems in architectural speaker designs—secondary speaker resonance that "colors" the sound and reduces fidelity. All you'll hear is accurate, detailed sound without the distortion.

Lots of tweeters can be aimed. But ours can be aimed when you're on the top of a ladder...with your client talking to you...your phone ringing...and nothing to hold onto other than the tweeter bridge (yes, we know you do that). So, whether it's a tweeter bridge that's tough enough to be used as a handle, or push-button speaker terminals that can be connected with one hand, we know you'll appreciate the details that make Episode speakers among the easiest to work with.
