Signature by Episode is the most versatile, dynamic, install-friendly speaker in the industry. Designed and engineered with a scientific focus, Signature provides high-performance sound through low distortion, wide dispersion, and flat frequency response. Plus, Signature speakers are crafted with intuitive features like Push Lock by Swarm technology, as well as a one- or two-step install option and a full suite of accessories for unparalleled convenience on any install.
Main Features:
EASY INSTALL: Signature by Episode features exclusive Push Lock by Swarm technology, a toolless mounting solution specifically designed for Signature. For both in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, Push Lock secures the speaker with the simple press of a button for the fastest and most secure install on the market. Plus, the dogs can be cinched down an extra 6mm when you need additional security in situations with uneven sheetrock, popcorn ceilings, etc.
YOUR SPEAKER, YOUR CHOICE: Every Signature by Episode speaker (yes, both in-ceiling and in-wall) can be installed via a one-step or two-step process. Install the speaker in one step with zero tools and one trip up the ladder or remove the center core of the speaker and install the cradle with optional backbox and grille, so you don’t risk speaker damage while the build completes.
POLYPROPYLENE WOOFER: A forward-set polypropylene woofer delivers impeccable clarity and punchy bass for high-performance sound in any room.
ADJUSTABLE SILK DOME TWEETER: An adjustable tweeter provides direct sound to create more immersive experiences custom to each application.
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE: Crafted in-house with a sleek finish and elite components designed to achieve the sound principles of the NRC, Signature by Episode delivers lifelike tones that are pleasing to the ear and won’t fatigue the listener over time. With premium woofer and tweeter material, these bad boys deliver deep bass and unmatched tonal clarity for lifelike sound at any listening level. Signature’s superior audio quality is accomplished by adhering to our three philosophies on sound: low distortion, wide dispersion, and flat frequency response.
DIRECT-MOUNT BACKBOX: The one-step install features a jumperless design for a single-wire connection to the rear of the backbox (sold separately) for a once-up-the-ladder toolless install. The two-step install lets you prewire and install the backbox to the cradle, keeping blown insulation from falling through the ceiling and maintaining pressure during home efficiency tests. Plus, when you return to finish the job, the speaker installs into the cradle & backbox with no wires needed AND no tools. Every Signature by Episode speaker comes with a cradle and has a compatible cradle that can be purchased separately.
EASY PROTECTION: The speaker’s protective cover serves as a handle when carrying up a ladder, as a shield during transportation and install, and as a guard during paint. They are included with all in-ceiling speakers and cradles to provide protection and convenience.
INNOVATIVE TWEETER PODS: Signature tweeter pods are vented in the back to drop the resonance frequency of the tweeter, allowing the system to be crossed over for greater dispersion and less distortion. The lower the crossover, the less work the woofer has to do to play higher in the frequency band, providing greater spatiality when listening to music.
DUAL VOICE COIL: This speaker has two voice coils that allow it to deliver both stereo channels through one speaker, creating stereo sound from a single speaker location.
FLUSH-MOUNT DESIGN: Affordable flush-mount brackets (sold separately) offer a unique design to turn any Signature by Episode and Episode speaker into a flush-mounted solution, providing a seamless transition from grille to wall without cracking the drywall or requiring a new speaker. You won’t mind passing this simple solution to the drywaller to help get the job done!
STRONGER GRILLE MAGNETS: The magnet structure on the speaker frame has nearly 2X the holding capacity of other architectural speakers, preventing grilles from vibrating at loud volumes and bowing over time.
RIBBED SURROUND: Inverted surrounds feature a parabolic design to provide greater cone excursion in a linear form without rippling of the surround, allowing the speaker to be played louder without distortion.
SIMPLE, VERSATILE BRACKETS: The Signature by Episode speakers are compatible with the ES-ESS brackets and several thin-bezel, paintable grilles for a smooth, minimalistic finish. And as an added plus, Signature by Episode speakers share the same cutout dimensions as all the other Episode speakers for ultimate versatility.
