Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 User manual

PowerPoint®1.2
THIEL’s Award-winning sound
The extraordinary THIEL PowerPoint®1.2 brings a new level of performance
to a speaker category that usually compromises sonic performance for usabil-
ity. The PowerPoint combines the remarkable THIEL Coherent Source
®time
and phase technology with a unique wedge-shape enclosure and coaxial
driver mounting to solve the reflection and room coverage problems found in
conventional speaker surface-mounting. The new all-aluminum cabinet greatly
improves sonic clarity for the most outstanding realism in its class.
• Very uniform, full-room coverage due to unique, angled, close-
boundary cabinet design and coaxial/coplanar driver mounting
• Extraordinary imaging, space and depth reproduction due to
greatly diminished boundary reflections in combination with THIEL’s
trademark phase and time coherence.
• Excellent clarity and detail provided by innovative, very low
distortion drivers and very rigid all-aluminum enclosure.
“…the single most

Conventional In-ceiling Speakers
The coverage area of
conventional ceiling
speakers leaves some
listeners outside the
listening area,
degrading performance.
Ceiling Mounted PowerPoints
The PowerPoint’s unique
wedge shape directs the
sound to cover a very
wide area, maximizing
performance throughout
the room for a variety of
listening positions.
“THIEL has created the first on-wall speaker that
produces real stereo sound, with all the depth, imaging,
and soundstaging that stereo can produce…
Real high-end sound from an on-wall speaker.”
“[the ceiling-
mounted
PowerPoints] sound
so good they
actually turn the
audio world,
ummm, upside
down.”
