Pro Audio Technology (PRO), a supplier of high-output loudspeakers and DSP loudspeaker controllers for private screening rooms, is celebrating its 20th year in business and to honor the occasion, the company is bringing a new line of loudspeakers to CEDIA Expo 2024.
The Calif.-based company asserts the five new multi-purpose loudspeakers fill a void at the premium end of the market for high output, compact and flexible audio solutions for installed and portable commercial and residential installations.
PRO loudspeakers are built-to-order in the U.S. and the products are engineered to deliver lively dynamics, high maximum output level, and refined acoustic performance. For the past 20 years, the high-performance manufacturer has focused on designing and manufacturing a complete range of loudspeakers and DSP amplified loudspeaker controllers that address the needs of high-end residential installations, bringing cinematic sound into the home—most commonly into upscale private screening rooms.
“I am very proud to be celebrating PRO’s 20th anniversary and what better time to release the next generation of PRO products?” states Paul Hales, founder and product designer for Pro Audio Technology. “The new loudspeakers are specifically designed to fill a niche at the premium end of the residential and commercial market with a family of products that are flexible, compact, easy to install, and can handle near sound reinforcement levels while sounding like true high fidelity.”
PRO Audio Technology Marks Anniversary with 5 New Products
At CEDIA Expo 2024, the company is showcasing a new line of loudspeaker models that are commercial-centric, but also particularly interesting for high-end dvLED (or more commonly referred to as video wall) installations. PRO’s new loudspeakers are compact, providing specifiers and integrators with high output and premium audio solutions that do not impede on aesthetics and can be installed in locations where space is at a premium.

The new PRO loudspeakers were also designed with integrators in mind through features such as ergonomic handles, multiple fly points, industry-standard mount points, and pole cups. PRO’s optional PRO SplitYoke Multipurpose Mounting Brackets can be used to install all PRO Commercial loudspeakers easily on the wall, ceiling, floor, and other surfaces. And the PRO SplitYoke Brack Kits works with all five models, so the company points out there is no need for additional accessories.
PRO also emphasizes that dealers can add the PRO Caster Kit designed for the CF-212.3 full range speaker or CLF-212 subwoofer and the models become portable in an instant. Once the wheels are installed, all integrators need to do is roll the speaker into place, connect the speaker wires to an external Theory loudspeaker controller and it’s ready to play. This convenience PRO suggests is especially ideal for DJs, outdoor events, corporate venues, hospitality, and more where big, clear, full-range sound is required. All-weather versions of each model are also available.
