The Signature Series now includes the SIG-1.5R and SIG-1.5R-30 in-ceiling speakers. Both models feature the Guided Soundfield system in which a base/midrange driver is recessed in the chassis, while two tweeters fire at a 30-degree angle from the ceiling. This allows one to guide a wide arc of sound toward a specific area of the room. The direction of the sound can be adjusted without compromising the quality. The GRIP Glass-Reinforced Injection-molded Polymer chassis and mounting brackets help increase wall rigidity at the mounting site, vastly reducing unwanted resonances due to less-than-smooth ceiling surfaces.
