Incline Village, NV – July 13, 2006 – Artison, a company dedicated to meeting the technology needs of the 21st century, proudly announces the release of the company’s flagship Masterpiece LCR speakers designed for flat screen displays. Utilizing Artison’s proprietary G-LCR Grilles and new UMB (Universal Mounting Bracket), these innovative speakers attach to virtually any flat panel monitor, matching its height precisely, resulting in a seamless, elegant look that enhances any room’s décor.

Engineered by world-renowned speaker designer Cary Christie, Masterpiece speakers were built utilizing patented DualMonoTM Center Channel technology, which eliminates the need for a cumbersome center channel, while providing stunning sound, realistic bass and crisp dialogue for a true home theater experience unlike anything on the market today.

“Our new top of the line Masterpiece LCR speaker is the benchmark for high-end audio and home theater reproduction,” said Cary Christie, president and chief executive officer of Artison. “Designed to accommodate the increasing trend towards larger flat panel displays, Masterpiece is the ideal solution for customers who expect high quality and performance from their audio system coupled

with visual appeal. We’ve created a unique engineering and design solution that matches any monitor and room style without compromising either performance or aesthetics.”

Masterpiece builds on the success of Ariston’s two previous LCR speakers, the Sketch and the award-winning Portrait, resulting in a “good, better, best” range suitable for all applications, tastes and budgets.

Each of the speakers place all three front channels (LCR) in two slim attachable cabinets, rather than the conventional – and visually unappealing – three speaker box approach. This is made possible by Artison’s DualMono™ Center Channel technology, which integrates center channel components into the upper portion of both the right and left speakers, eliminating the need for a separate center channel speaker enclosure and with the substantial added benefit of placing crisp, articulate dialogue in the center of the screen, rather than above or below it.

In addition to DualMono™ Technology, Masterpiece also boasts an innovative, side-firing Stage Tweeter, which widens the soundstage for a realistic, large-scale cinematic experience. Each Masterpiece speaker contains two front-firing adjustable Vifa XT Super Audio Tweeters, two 5 ¼” Kevlar Long Throw midrange woofers, and one 25mm Stage Tweeter, all housed in black anodized aluminum cabinets. Masterpiece speakers measure 27”H x 6”W x 3 ½”D without the G-LCR Grilles – which are available in complementary colors to mach each plasma model.
