Proposition 65 Warning for California Residents

Designed to meet the demands of both designers and critical listeners, this sleek ES-700T thin bezel speaker is equally capable as a music or home theater speaker. Even at low volume levels, you'll appreciate the clarity and detail that these speakers produce. . . and when you turn them up, you'll enjoy a wide, natural soundstage and exceptionally dynamic sound.

Builders and designers will love how the ES-700T's thin bezel look matches the rest of the dcor, such as contemporary low-voltage and "high-hat" lighting. Combined with a bezel that’s up to 1” smaller in diameter than the competition, these speakers virtually disappear into the ceiling. Installation is clean and effortless thanks to a magnetic grill that quickly snaps into place using strong neodymium magnets.

In order to rise above the field of mass-produced "put your label here" products, you need competent engineering and quality components. In this 700-series model, our speaker designers have combined the low frequency responsiveness of an 8" NCS woofer with a 1" titanium catenary dome tweeter. Bringing it all together is a custom 2nd-order crossover network that ensures a precise performance each and every time.

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.

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 custom 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-700T, you can quickly adjust the woofer and tweeter output by 3db to compensate for rooms with more or less sound absorbing materials.

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 it doubles as a handle).

With competitive products, slight variations in sheetrock can sometimes leave a gap between the grill and the ceiling. Our unique bezel design and oversized dog toggles close the gap, keeping the speaker firmly planted to the ceiling. Thanks to these "puppies", unwanted resonances are reduced plus you can be sure it's not going anywhere! Gold plated spring terminals mean that even if you're on a ladder… talking to your customer... you can still connect the wires effortlessly.
