Install the speaker in one step with zero tools and one trip up the ladder or remove the center core of the speaker and install the cradle with optional backbox and grille, so you don’t risk speaker damage while the build completes.

Crafted in house with a sleek finish and elite components designed to achieve the sound principles of the NRC, Signature by Episode delivers lifelike tones that are pleasing to the ear and won’t fatigue the listener over time. With premium woofer and tweeter material, these bad boys deliver deep bass and unmatched tonal clarity for lifelike sound at any listening level. Signature’s superior audio quality is accomplished by adhering to our three philosophies on sound: low distortion, wide dispersion, and flat frequency response.

Direct-Mount Backbox
The one-step install features a jumperless design for a single-wire connection to the rear of the backbox (sold separately) for a once-up-the-ladder toolless install. The two-step install lets you prewire and install the backbox to the cradle, keeping blown insulation from falling through the ceiling and maintaining pressure during home efficiency tests. Plus, when you return to finish the job, the speaker installs into the cradle & backbox with no wires needed AND no tools. Every Signature by Episode speaker comes with a cradle and has a compatible cradle that can be purchased separately.

Stronger Grille Magnets with Rust Shield
The magnet structure on the speaker frame has nearly 2X the holding capacity of other architectural speakers, preventing grilles from vibrating at loud volumes and bowing over time. Plus, the grilles are protected with a rust-resistant coating that can handle every season and still look good!

Innovative Tweeter Pods
Signature tweeter pods are vented in the back to drop the resonance frequency of the tweeter, allowing the system to be crossed over for greater dispersion and less distortion. The lower the crossover, the less work the woofer has to do to play higher in the frequency band, providing greater spatiality when listening to music.
Drywall with bracket inserted and speaker being installed
Flush-Mount Design
Our affordable flush-mount brackets (sold separately) offer a unique design to turn any Signature by Episode and Episode speaker into a flush-mounted solution, providing a seamless transition from grille to wall without cracking the drywall or requiring a new speaker. You won’t mind passing this simple solution to the drywaller to help get the job done!

Ribbed Surround
Inverted surrounds feature a parabolic design to provide greater cone excursion in a linear form without rippling of the surround, allowing the speaker to be played louder without distortion.
