Premium audio brand, Theory Audio Design, is now shipping the sb25aw — an all-weather 4-ohm or 70V/100V version of the company’s sb25 surface-mount loudspeaker. The all-aluminum and stainless steel sb25aw is fully weatherized and offers mounting options to meet a variety of installation needs, including porches, patios, pool decks, backyards, restaurants, bars, hotels, houses of worship, marine, and anywhere high-resolution, high-fidelity background or foreground sound is needed.
The sb25aw incorporates a durable perforated stainless-steel grille, water-tight loudspeaker wire entry point, and selectable hi-z or low-z operating modes. Its slender enclosure, premium finish, and gentle sculpted curves allow it to virtually disappear into the architectural background while blending in well to environments where it’s easily seen, also.
The sb25aw ships with z-clips for flat-to-wall mounting, and the back panel has integral mount hole patterns for several high-quality third-party speaker mounts. An optional robust surface and pole-mountable yoke mounting bracket is also available.
A tabletop stand accessory allows the sb25aw to stand up on flat surfaces such as speaker stands, mixing desks, consoles, tabletops, and bookshelves both horizontally and vertically. With available optional Universal Mount Adapter, the sb25aw can go anywhere and look sleek and unobtrusive doing it: pole from ceiling, pole from ground, onto any 75mm or 100mm VESA mount, and a number of pan-and-tilt wall and ceiling mounts from Adaptive Technologies.
“There has never been a more compact and capable loudspeaker in the integrator system design toolbox,” said Paul Hales, CEO for Theory Professional. “Capable of astonishing range and output, and at less than 4 inches in depth, the sb25aw is a virtual acoustic Swiss army knife and will have system designers rethinking how they incorporate sound into their high-value projects. We expect that they will quickly learn to use this highly capable little speaker everywhere.”
Theory’s product ecosystem offers many of the performance qualities of professional audio products — effortless dynamics, high efficiency, and rugged durability — but with the sonic delicacy, detail, and resolution of the best high-end high-fidelity products. Add Theory’s intelligent full-system design approach, with automatically tailored loudspeaker DSP, and you get startling performance at tremendous value.
