SpeakerCraft's MDU Speaker Dedicated to Expanding Market (1/12/2006)

Growth of Multi-dwelling Units Demands Specific Solution

SpeakerCraft, the world's leading manufacturer of custom installed loudspeakers, announces the MDU speaker. Dedicated to multi-dwelling housing units such as condos, townhomes or apartments, the MDU addresses a number of challenges created by installations in these locations.

Sound transference into an adjoining unit, code restrictions that prevent cutting into the wall or ceiling surface or the use of concrete or brick in the construction process are all reasons that make a flush-mounted speaker unworkable. The SpeakerCraft MDU speaker allows for great sound reproduction in these situations with an elegant and functional solution.

The ported cabinet houses a 4-inch woofer and a 3/4 -inch dome tweeter that deliver a smooth and open sonic presentation. The speaker is mounted to the ceiling via a standard J-box or attached directly to the ceiling joist. The multi-pivot bracket allows the speaker to be aimed at the listening area from any position in the room.

"Dealers are doing more work in multiple dwelling units as the real estate market has changed and many consumers cannot afford to, or, for any number of reasons, choose not to live in a freestanding home" said Dave Donald, SpeakerCraft's V.P. of Marketing. "We wanted to give these people an opportunity to enjoy the same home entertainment experience as those in detached structures."
