Cabinet and Shelf Speakers
As you know, listening to music in any room requires speakers, but those speakers don’t have to take up a lot of your space. Standing loudspeakers deliver high-end sound performance, but are usually only idyllic for a home theater setup.
That’s why we recommend cabinet or counter speakers for media rooms or family rooms that can cleverly disguise this audio equipment. They sit nicely on top of furniture or in shelves, giving the space a neat and de-cluttered appearance – while still deliver high-fidelity audio.
There are even speaker styles that fit nicely with a kitchen’s décor or an outdoor patio’s layout, by sitting on a countertop of some sort. But sometimes even a speaker this size might not be as invisible as you’d like for your room’s design. This is where hidden speakers come into play.
Hidden Speakers
For your speakers to go completely unnoticed, you can have them installed in the ceiling or in the walls. With just an unobtrusive panel that covers where the speaker is, you won’t even know there are speakers in a room until the music starts playing.
These speakers can be turned on and off with ease, right from your smart device – whether it’s your smartphone, tablet, or wall panel. They are easy to manage and bring in a sound quality that matches what you’d hear from your standing loudspeakers.
These speakers make whole home audio a true multi-room music system setup. By installing hidden speakers in hallways, bathrooms, offices, and the laundry room, you can actually listen to your media in any area of your home. They won’t take up any space, so you can walk through your home and hear your songs and playlists without disrupting your style in the slightest.
Blended-In Multi-Room Video Features
Now that know you can have well-integrated or invisible speakers throughout your house, did you know that hidden video technology is also available?
You can still enjoy a movie or show on an HD 4K resolution television screen, without hindering your room’s layout the rest of the time when it’s not in use. Flat screens or projectors can lower from the ceiling, where they have been completely out of sight. They can also raise out of furniture with just a push of a button – it’s that simple.
Panels slide over and cover flat screens and display a painting or artwork in the TV’s place while it’s not on. Mirror TVs also disguise as a mirror that make any room look elegant and bigger than it actually is.
These solutions not only hide your TV but will also add flair to your space. This is especially great for a multi-purpose media room or even your bedroom.
