Nice Unveils Newest Line of Premium Toolless Architectural Speakers At CEDIA Expo

CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 4, 2023 – Nice, a global leader in Home and Building Management solutions, today announced the launch of its new Nice Premium Toolless Architectural Speakers, offering a curated solution for in-ceiling and in-wall audio applications. The series, which encompasses three performance levels across 14 speakers, will debut on the showroom floor at this year’s CEDIA Expo at booth 2528.

“We are thrilled to introduce a new line of speakers designed to provide easy installation, innovative technology, and diversified solutions for our partners and end-users,” said Jeff Shaw, Head of Product Management for the Nice Home Management business unit. “The Premium Toolless Architectural Speaker series offers our partners an elegant audio solution for nearly every architectural speaker application.”

The Premium Toolless Architectural Speakers elevate customer satisfaction with advanced materials, toolless installation, and innovation – giving the installer enhanced flexibility by putting more choices in their hands. AccuAim™ tweeters and fine-tuning switches allow installers to tailor the sound for each room, creating a more personalized and enjoyable audio experience for the homeowner. This focus on uncompromised design and quality driven by carefully selected materials, oversized tweeters, high-end crossovers, and precision tooled components combine to minimize distortion, improve linearity, and deliver crystal clear, dynamic sound for a more immersive and natural experience. The impressive attention to design and detail includes extended pole pieces, Faraday rings, 2^nd and 3^rd order crossovers, and a beautiful Italian industrial design making it easy to decern between the three series. The Nice ViseLock™ designed by Swarm significantly streamlines installation, cutting down up to 75% of installation time resulting in tangible cost savings and faster project completion.

“We really looked at the use cases for homeowners, and the demands of integrators to curate a range of solutions that scales appropriately to meet their needs” said Terence Dover, Senior Global Product Line Manager. “We succeeded in implementing high-end design elements and innovations that improve performance, while remaining cost competitive.”

With three levels of performance there is a speaker for the majority of architectural speaker installs. Premium Toolless Series 1 is optimized for high quality ambient music. This series includes models ideal for everyday media applications throughout the home. Premium Toolless Series 2 elevates performance across four models including an in-wall, made with materials and components that deliver high performance for media rooms and home entertainment. These lightweight and durable materials deliver low distortion, exceptional dynamics, and an enhanced soundstage. Premium Toolless Series 3 offers performance and flexibility with six models, all featuring black Kevlar woofers, and 1 ¼ aluminium magnesium alloy tweeters which are 56.3% larger than their 1” cousins, and an advanced crossover designed. Supporting more power at a lower crossover point, this series boasts impressive dynamics, reduced distortion, and an enhanced soundstage, delivering impeccable detail and outstanding performance for decerning home entertainment, media room and home theatre applications. With uncompromised design, and high performance, the Premium Toolless series delivers optimized sounds from whole home music to gaming and media rooms, to dedicated home theaters.

“Our new premium speakers represent the pinnacle of audio engineering and user-centric design,” said Senthoor Navaratnam, Chief Product Officer at Nice North America.

“We’ve meticulously crafted these speakers to not only deliver exceptional sound quality but also simplify the installation process, offering significant time and cost savings for our partners. By integrating advanced technologies, we’re enabling installers to provide a truly personalized audio experience, ensuring that every note is delivered with precision and clarity. This new line is a testament to our commitment to innovation and meeting the unique needs of our customers in the smart home space.”
