Having a depth of between just 2.5 to 5" the speakers hang on a flat bulkhead and look just like paintings. There are various designs, ranging from ultramodern, to plain coloured fronts In addition, there is also the option to use a photograph or specially-commissioned design to feature on the speakers.

The fabric speaker fronts are detachable, so can be replaced, easily and inexpensively, as often as required. There are no wires that need concealing, as the company has invented its own silver cable that is, they say, so flat, that when painted over, it appears invisible.

The speakers themselves employ high-quality Scandinavian speaker drivers, hand-built crossovers, and low-resonance cabinet material. Artcoustic says, unlike other so-called "flat" speakers, they are true dynamic loudspeakers, delivering the full range and high output levels associated with studio-quality loudspeakers.

To obtain top performance from a thin cabinet, Artcoustic uses a proprietary technology, called QPC, which allows its speakers to provide bass performance equal to speakers having at least twice the internal volume.
