Details
When incorporating any large structure into a room the visual details are, of course, an important consideration. Any Sound Lab pair of speakers will significantly impact a room and though excellence of sound quality is our primary goal, we have also found beauty in the form which serves our purpose. We have three different and distinctive design approaches for framing our electrostatic panels, all beautiful in their own way and each are also very much customizable.
The three designs have long been referred to as Majestic, Audiophile, and Ultimate.
Wood
Majestic and Audiophile are both statements made of beautiful wood. The Majestic is the more modern and less imposing design with a subtle wooden frame and the Audiophile is, on the other hand, a beautiful expression of woodworking to boldly frame the sound panels and become a statement adding to the tone and décor of your room.
Metal
The Ultimate is a design of modern industrial flavor and made of tubular steel presenting an image of strength and stability and although the most often chosen color is black steel, the steel may be painted in any Pantone color to match or contrast their surroundings.
Outer framing materials (since 2006) are intended only to suspend and direct the inner electrostatic panels and to have no bearing on the sound quality or panel performance. Inner panels are interlocking ABS CNC machined, inert, resonance free and impervious to environmental conditions including humidity.
The woods used for both Majestic and Audiophile frameworks may be chosen from several hard woods the most common being oak, maple, walnut or cherry. The wood frames may be finished in a variety of finishes or they may also be painted any color.
Grille Fabric
Covering the large panel surface is the material grille fabric – besides the elegant and traditional black, there are more than 40 beautiful and acoustically transparent fabrics to choose from.
If choosing a size configuration for your panels is the first step, the next steps are to choose and customize the visual appearance of your panels so that they may enhance and become a prized addition to your living/ listening space.
