More than ever, architectural loudspeakers can blend into a room and deliver quality sound.

The latest crop of in-wall and in-ceiling architectural speakers reflects a lot more than great sound; it reflects what's going on in the economy and in the custom electronics industry.

With the global economy experiencing a recession of epic proportions, the corporate world has had to readjust how it approaches consumers who are much more cautious in how they spend their money.

The custom electronics community was greatly affected by what was going on economically and was forced to shift from targeting luxury, new-home installations, to a new market that emphasized commercial and existing-home retrofit installations.

The loudspeaker channel has adapted to the new consumer market conditions by offering products that provide better value and more aesthetic options for both its residential and commercial clientele.

Following is a sample of what's going on in the in-wall and in-ceiling community.
