OSD Audio Debuts Black Series Architectural
Loudspeakers at CEDIA Expo 2014
Exceptional New Black Series Models Deliver True Audiophile Output from an Installed Speaker, With Unique Slim Grille Design to Blend Into Any Décor
BREA, CA, September 9, 2014 – OSD Audio today announced a key expansion of its speaker line with the introduction of the OSD Black Series high performance architectural speakers. OSD’s Black speakers will be sold exclusively through select distributors and dealers, and will not be sold through any online sources. Suggested retail prices will range from $60 - $400/pair.
Striking the perfect balance between peak audio design and décor, the new Black Series comprises 18 models including ceiling, wall, LCR, and dual-tweeter units switchable for Single-Point Stereo and Surround applications. While positioned firmly at the high end of OSD’s speaker offerings, the Black Series is also competitively priced, creating a new benchmark for value and performance of architectural speakers.
Available in three performance levels across the line, OSD Black Series speakers feature upgraded driver sets incorporating silk and ceramic-coated dome tweeters, and graphite and carbon fiber woofers. Individually voiced using advanced acoustic modeling techniques and acoustic chamber measurement, OSD Black Series driver sets are matched for pure sound results and accuracy. Crossovers devices are engineered for unsurpassed performance while achieving minimal speaker depth. A translucent crossover shield protects the crossover from installation damage and ceiling/wall cavity debris.
With interior designers driving the “hidden speaker” trends in upmarket home audio systems today, OSD’s Black Series speakers are crafted to deliver peerless stereo imaging and sonic performance. Speaker grilles for the entire series are edgeless and super-slim, minimizing visual sightlines on ceilings and walls. Square grille kits are available for all speaker sizes to allow decor matching with lighting and air circulation fixtures.
All speaker frames, mounting flanges and corresponding hardware are featured in the line’s signature black finish, with soft touch on baffles, and matte and gloss artfully applied to other surfaces. Options include three woofer/footprint size speakers in round, square and rectangle shapes in 5”, 6” and 8” models. (Prices and final model numbers will be announced at the CEDIA Expo.) All round speakers can be easily changed to the optional square grille finish.
“The Black Series is a triumph for music and movie lovers who crave high-fidelity audio while insisting on design excellence inside and out,” says Doug Turner, OSD Audio’s Vice President of Sales. “The fact that OSD Black speakers will be available exclusively through select dealers and distributors reaffirms our commitment to our industry partners, and the remarkable value they add to the high performance speaker category.” OSD Audio’s Black Series will begin shipping in Q4 and will be featured at the company’s CEDIA Expo booth #1172 in the Colorado Convention Center.

About OSD Audio
Based in Southern California, OSD Audio was founded in 2003 by a group of audiophiles who understood that good audioproducts didn’t necessarily have to cost an arm and a leg. The company’s initial line of outdoor rock speakers immediately gained attention from consumers who were astounded by the sound quality and reasonable price. OSD Audio eventually expanded the line to include in-wall and ceiling speakers, amplifiers, speaker selectors and more.
