Episode Landscape speaker range debuts from Control4

Control4 + SnapAV has launched US outdoor audio system specialist Episode in the UK, with the new Landscape range of exterior speakers.

Brought to the UK through Control4’s merger with SnapAV, Episode sound systems are designed, built, and refined based on feedback from integrators themselves.

The Episode Landscape collection includes Premium Satellite, Terrain Satellite, Rock, Omni-Directional and Episode 500 Cabinet speakers, alongside a wide range of Subwoofer options.

Solutions are available as 8Ohm, 70V or hybrid systems to allow installers and their clients, options when it comes to audio quality, amplifiers, sources, ease of integration and wiring.

The brand’s Premium Satellite speakers look like typical landscape lighting fixtures, and offer broad 110 degree coverage, and variable 70V tap settings with an 8Ohm bypass enables discrete volume adjustment at each individual speaker.

Terrain Satellite speakers are an affordable 4.1 package system for use with 2 channel or multi-channel 8Ohm amplifiers and powered zone 2 of AV Receivers. Both Premium and Terrain speakers come with optional accessories supplied for tree, wall or surface mounting.

Episode Rock speakers are available in 6- and 8-inch options and a choice of single or dual voice coil (DVC) versions, while the Episode Omni-Directional speaker provides 360 degree acoustical coverage and includes a polypropylene woofer design for full outdoor coverage.
Designed for cabinet or surface mounting, the Episode 500 Series features 14 models with different size (4-, 6- and 8-inch), colour (black and white), voice coil (Single and Dual) and 8Ohm and 70V options available.

These can be partnered with Episode Subwoofers. Both burial and hardscape options are available. The Terrain subwoofer can be used as a DVC sub with any surface mount speakers.

“This Episode Series delivers on everything installers and their clients could want from an outdoor audio experience,” says Phil Hardaway, Control4’s Regional Audio Expert. “They’re robust enough to withstand anything the climate can throw at them, and discreet enough to bring music to gardens, patio and barbecue areas, around hot tubs and swimming pools from hidden locations. The option of 8Ohm, 70V, or a hybrid combination of these two systems gives great flexibility on speaker layout, audio performance and wiring that again eases the whole specification and installation process.”
