Coastal Source Contour & Razor Loudspeakers
Outdoor lighting and audio specialist Coastal Source had a double dose of design at CEDIA Expo, partnering with Seura on the Destination Backyard event that took place outside the front of the convention center, along with a traditional show floor booth. The company highlighted its new Razor and Contour (pictured) speakers, which offer various sizes, configurations and placement options for installation versatility. “This would be kind of our take of an on-wall speaker, but something that looks better and sounds better,” Jason Sanders, Coastal’s director of operational excellence, says of the Razor, which can be actually be mounted on-wall, in a corner, on a ceiling, on the ground and even ganged together in a quad scenario to look like a large planter box. The Contour, meanwhile, was also shown for the first time, and can be used as a landscape or hardscape or soffit speaker. It’s made from the company’s rotomolded composite material, “a really dense, plasticky material – it’s probably our most entry-level speaker,” Sanders notes.
