Leviton Architectural Edition™ powered by JBL
On-Wall Home Cinema Speaker System
Leviton Architectural Edition powered by JBL On-Wall Home Cinema Speaker System
A complete multi-channel surround-sound speaker system with po
wered subwoofer designed
to reproduce all the digital realism and performance of today’s video soundtracks.
When specifications call for both audio performance and instal-
lation flexibility, Leviton and JBL have teamed up to create a
unique solution: the AEH50 Surround-Sound Home Cinema
Speaker System with 100 Watt Powered Subwoofer. Based on
the same technologies and features that made JBL the speaker
of choice for film recording professionals and movie theater
designers, the AEH50 engineers them into an easy-to-live-with
form factor that works in any living and listening environment.
The AEH50 Cinema Speaker System’s two-way satellite speak-
ers take their performance cues from JBL’s renowned family of
studio monitors, delivering smooth, accurate sound coverage
throughout the viewing area. The powered subwoofer is engi-
neered to generate full-frequency realism, providing the power-
ful bass foundation required to faithfully reproduce today’s spe-
cial-effects-rich film soundtracks.
The System is a 5-channel surround-sound package that can
easily be upg
raded to 6- and 7
-channel operation for 6.1 or 7
.1
surround-sound operation with the optional matched AESS5
Expansion Satellite Speaker. The system uses standard audio
wiring topology, with satellites connected directly to the AV
receiver’s speaker terminals and the subwoofer system
connected to the receiver’s SUB OUT or LFE OUT jacks.
The AEH50 is compatible with the full range of surround,
speaker and E
Q modes available in today’s AV receivers.
APPLICATIONS
An extremely versatile performer, the AEH50 Home Cinema
Speaker System is ideal for use in any application where—
because of room space or functional considerations—an in-
wall/in-ceiling installed home theater speaker solution is impracti-
cal but full performance is desired. The satellites can be mounted
on walls or ceilings to open up as much living space as possible.
Video magnetic shielding means that the satellites can be located
right next to a TV screen without causing any problems.
1.
Asymmetric “problem” rooms—the prime example is in new
home construction where the fireplace is central to the living
room while the T
V/enter
tainment center location is off in a
corner
. W
hile this type of layout prohibits in-wall speakers
from being used, the AEH5
0 can be utilized in many cases to
set-up a per
fectly balanced listening area in relation to both TV
and seating locations, usually at a 45-degree angle to the lis-
tening room.
2. Secondary theater rooms—many homeowners want home the-
ater in other locations, including master bedrooms and kids’
rooms. The AEH50’s low-profile design and installation flexibil-
ity make it an ideal solution for that situation.
