acoustically-identical models that offer a selection of
standard three-dimensional patterns or factory-applied
surface finishes that match most common suspended
ceiling tile patterns. The front surface of the
SpeakerTile can optionally be finished on-site with any
water-soluble finish — such as latex paint — or covered
with light wallpaper, fabrics and selected texture
coats*, further enhancing its ability to blend invisibly
with almost any interior design choice.

In such cases Sound Advance will make every effort to
match the SpeakerTile tegular routing to the
customer’s ceiling tiles; however, our standard tegular
