The Aim in-ceiling speaker range set new standards for both sound quality and versatility. Within each Aim Series model, both the bass unit and tweeter could be independently pivoted by up to 30°, creating a soundstage of incredible focus and precision. Each speaker can be rotated through 270° and lowered from the ceiling by up to 45°.

Similar in principle to Aim the new TIME series, an acronym for “Theatre in Motion Experience”, mounts flush in the ceiling. However, when activated the speakers automatically drop out of the ceiling at angles 15, 30 and 45 degrees. They then rotate to any position to create the appropriate soundstage for the individual theatre application. Sonic performance is enhanced dramatically due to the exposed position and the precision with which the speaker can be aimed at the listening area.

The dedicated command unit and hand held remote are capable of controlling up to eight individual TIME speakers, allowing a complete 7.1 system to be readily accommodated. Multiple speaker position presets can be stored allowing a speaker’s soundstage to be instantly “moved” at the press of a button.

Connections to each TIME speaker could not be simpler. Speaker cable is run, as normal, from the amplifier to each speaker, while the controller connects to each TIME speaker by means of a Cat 5 cable. This provides both motor power and directional control.
