Jeremy Burkhardt’s Origin Acoustics to launch ThinFit speaker range

Jeremy Burkhardt’s Origin Acoustics will debut its eagerly anticipated ThinFit in-wall speaker collection at ISE 2015. Designed specifically for installations with limited depth requirements, all three models feature an integrated back-can with a 70mm depth. “We saw this as a necessity,” says CEO Burkhardt,. “The construction methods in MDU’s and some geographic areas demand a very thin profile. The idea was to limit depth without limiting performance. The ThinFit Collection delivers on both counts.”

The TF34 and TF 36 share a similar driver configuration. Dual 88mm woofers and dual 88mm midwoofers surround a 20mm tweeter. The TF34 feature Injection Molded Graphite woofers and midwoofers with an aluminum tweeter. The TF36 steps up to Glass Fiber woofers and a silk-dome tweeter. Both are mounted on an injection-molded baffle that integrates into the steel back-can creating a ported enclosure. The TF64DT features a 17cm dual voice-coil, IMG woofer and two 20mm aluminum tweeters. These are also mounted on an injection-molded baffle, which attaches to a steel back-can creating a sealed enclosure. The dual-tweeter design allows both left and right channels to be produced from a single speaker. All three models use the same bezeless magnetic grille assembly found on the Director D80 series.

The acoustic dampening enclosures are fully integrated with the woofers to create a superior sonic result. The enclosures also cut down on room-to-room sound transfer by up to 9dB, says the brand. The ThinFit Collection will begin shipping in April. Burkhardt is ex-SpeakerCraft and was responsible for that brand’s rapid rise to prominence during the early days of custom install. The Origin Acoustics team can be found on stand 5-S123.

ISE runs February 10-12, at the Amsterdam RAI. For more information about Integrated Systems Europe visit our resource page here.
