The Visual Performance series represents the new, trimmer look of in-wall speakers. The 0.2'' bezel whittles roughly 1¼2'' off the frame of typical in-wall speakers, creating an understated look.

Bar none
While most sound bars include speakers for left-, center-, and right-channel sound, the SlimStage40 (designed to fit beneath 40''-to-46'' flat-screen TVs) includes all the amplifiers and speaker drivers required to reproduce a complete, simulated five-channel surround-sound experience.
