SAMSUNG FRAME TV

The Samsung Frame TV allows you to solve the problem created when designing a room to have framed art and a TV without creating multiple focal points. With The Frame, you can integrate art with the TV into a single focal point. You can even put The Frame above a fireplace. With the No-Gap Wall Mount and multiple color choices of bezels available, The Frame easily disguises itself as a work of art when not being used as a TV. Choose from a wide range of available high-quality art or load your own art (including family portraits). The Frame TV is the designer’s dream choice for a wall-hanging TV. Available in sizes from 32” to 85” diagonal, there is always a Frame TV to fit any wall space. The Frame TV can be mounted in portrait mode or you can use Samsung’s auto-rotating mount to change the TV from portrait mode to landscape mode automatically!

The JBL Conceal Series speakers provide the greatest flexibility for interior design integration and installation of any invisible loudspeaker. They deliver incredible high frequency performance across the entire listening area, allowing for perfect reproduction with all the detail and clarity, no matter where in the space you are listening from. Engineered to work behind a range of covering materials, including: drywall compound, plaster skim or stucco finishes (up to 2mm), wood, millwork, leather, natural or man-made laminates and veneers, the JBL Conceal C83 loudspeaker is our “go-to” solution for the best performance and aesthetics when an invisible speaker is called for.

DISCREET landscape speakers

The Revel Extreme Climate Landscape Speakers with integrated lighting are designed to discreetly play high-quality music and project the sound over a large area. They sound so good, they seem to defy the physics of sound! Available in compact satellites, surface-mount or under-eave in-ceiling formats, these Extreme Climate speakers hold up to the harshest environments and deliver concert-level performance out of a tiny amount of space. All landscape models feature robust powder-coated metal housings with a limited lifetime warranty against the elements. A complete discreet landscape speaker system can have hardscape or underground subwoofers, speakers in planter beds and speakers mounted to trees. The bollard speakers are perfect for a walkway or porte-cochère.
