Amina® bespoke service:
For situations where In-Wall panel loudspeakers are not appropriate, Amina® provide a special
bespoke manufacturing and customisation service. Panel loudspeakers can be painted, veneered,
flocked or have a laminated print (containing the image of the clients choice) mounted to its
surface. Please ask your supplier for details. Amina® can also provide a full custom service,
designing and making any size and shape panel loudspeakers according to client specifications.
Applications:
Amina® In-wall loudspeakers are ideally suited for multi-room entertainment and home cinema/
theatre reproduction in residential applications, and for background to foreground entertainment
systems and voice reinforcement (eg. paging, retail, corporate, conferencing, hotel, restaurant,
worship) in commercial premises and leisure venues. It is particularly useful (in both home and
commercial premises) in wet areas, e.g. swimming pool, kitchens and bathroom ceilings, where
the plaster and any surface coatings serve to isolate the Amina® In-wall loudspeaker from the
humid zone. This then combines high quality sound reproduction and zero architectural visibility
in humid environments whilst avoiding any long term corrosion issues.
Product Positioning and Quantity Requirements:
Home Installation
In the home environment the Amina® In-wall loudspeaker is ideal for application within stud
walls or plasterboard ceilings using the supplied mounting lugs. Alternatively the loudspeaker can
be mounted using the Amina® Stud Wall Back Box (not supplied), which provides additional
sound proofing (see page 16 for more details).
It can also be set into solid wall structures, although this can involve considerable building work
to create a suitable aperture to mount the product into. Solid wall mounting can be made easier
using the Amina® Solid Wall Back Box (not supplied), please see page 16 for more details. The
minimum depth of opening required in a stud wall, ceiling or solid wall, is 45mm from the wall
or ceiling front surface. There is no maximum depth requirement.
In the home, the position and number of Amina® In-wall loudspeakers is generally determined
by the audio format being reproduced. In a stereo listening situation, two panels will be required;
in a 5.1 surround sound application, 5 panels will be required; in a 7.1 surround sound application,
7 panels. The product positioning follows the general requirements of each of those system
types. One left of and one right of, and in front of or above the general listening position for
stereo. One left of, one central to and one right of, and in front of the general listening position,
together with one right of, and one left of and to the rear of the general listening position for
5.1 surround sound.
Of course real room layouts seldom provide ideal locations, especially considering the numerous
listening or seat positions generally requiring audio coverage. The advantage of this type of
‘diffuse source’ loudspeaker is that the speaker location and listening position are far less critical,
making them ideal for ‘real’ rooms.
