Usability without
compromising performance
The PowerPoint brings a new level of
performance to a category that
usually compromises sonic
performance for usability.The
PowerPoint uses the same high
performance drivers we design and
build for our award-winning line of
floor-standing and bookshelf
loudspeakers.The two-way
PowerPoint’s coaxial/coplanar
6.5 inch woofer and 1-inch dome
tweeter use THIEL’s innovative short
coil/long gap motor system for
extremely low distortion and both
use aluminum diaphragms for
outstanding tonal response.The
tweeter is the same unit as used in
THIEL’s flagship model CS7.2. As
with all THIEL loudspeakers, the
PowerPoint utilizes a synthesized first-
order crossover system to eliminate
phase distortion.
Perfectly match your home’s decor
with a painted PowerPoint. Available
in a variety of colors or do-it-yourself.

The Innovative
THIEL PowerPoint:
Conventional In-ceiling Speakers
The coverage area of conventional ceiling speakers
leaves some listeners outside the listening area,
degrading performance.
Ceiling Mounted PowerPoints
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.
