The AIM Series
The pivoting tweeter was only the beginning of an idea that would change 
the industry forever. Mimicking the adjustable air vent found above your 
seat in almost every airplane, the AIM series allows the entire speaker 
assembly to be pointed in the desired direction. This patented technology 
means that although the speaker location may not be ideal because of 
other obstructions in the ceiling such as light fixtures or heating vents, the 
sound can still be aimed directly at the listener while remaining hidden 
behind a flush-mounted grille. This completely changes music and theater 
sound and brings the experience down out of the ceiling to fully integrate 
it into the living space.
All of this would be useless if the technology wasn’t applied correctly to 
create superior sound. This is where speaker design becomes more than 
science and crosses the boundary into an art form. Our engineers do 
much more than stare at computer screens and test instruments. Although 
the skills necessary to technically analyze loudspeaker performance 
are critical, we know that the end result must appeal to the human ear. 
Therefore, we listen. For hours, days and sometimes weeks as the final 
product is fine-tuned to deliver every nuance of the musical performance. 
The AIM is one of the most popular series of loudspeaker in the world 
because of the way they sound. 
SECTION A-A
Another patented breakthrough in the AIM series is the WavePlane. 
This series of concentric rings in front of the woofer create more uniform 
dispersion and improve the clarity of higher frequencies. Sound that is 
often distorted by interaction between the woofer and the tweeter is 
now evenly spread throughout the listening area.
NEAT! Ideas
Since aesthetics are such an important part of the custom installation 
offering, we are always looking for ways to make the speakers we sell more 
attractive. For some the flange around the speaker is less than attractive so 
various attempts have been made to hide it. The new NEAT grilles allow for 
a simple installation that leaves only a very small exposed edge. The result 
is a finished install that is grille only and less obtrusive in the room. These 
grilles can be retrofit onto the majority of AIM ceiling speakers.
