British manufacturer Optimal Audio announced new accessories for its Up ceiling loudspeaker line, with the addition of bezel-less grilles and pendant housings.
Available in black or white finishes, Grille 1 and Grille 2 are designed to enable all Up ceiling loudspeakers to achieve a bezel-less appearance. The inclusion of an installation ring with an intuitive twist-to-fit steel grille design, enclosing the original Up loudspeaker, provides installers with complete flexibility and allows for easy adaptation to any design brief.
Pendant 1 and Pendant 2 housings enable selected Up ceiling speakers to be suspended as pendants. Manufactured from UL94 V-0 rated materials and finished in UV-resistant black or white paint, the Pendants feature the same twist-to-fit grille bezel-less finish as the Grille accessories.
Both accessories complement a wides range of interior design across commercial spaces. In addition, they remove the need for distributors and dealers to stock separate ranges of ceiling and pendant loudspeakers by taking care of all requirements with just one low-cost accessory.
‘Meeting the aesthetic requirements of interior designers is an important part of audio solutions in commercial spaces,’ says Optimal Audio Product Manager, David Morbey. ‘As well as delivering high-quality sound, loudspeakers from our Up range now have the capacity to blend as discreetly as possible into their surroundings using the bezel-less Grille, as well as providing attractive Pendants, ideal for venues with open architecture and high ceilings.
‘The availability of these inexpensive accessories is sure to be attractive to distributors from a stock holding efficiency perspective, while installers will enjoy the flexibility to accommodate more applications, and as is the case across our whole ecosystem, these accessories are consistent with our easy-to-install philosophy, relieving stress and saving time.’
