Episode SIG-78-ICSURR Signature 7 Series In-Ceiling Surround Speaker (Each)

Signature by Episode is the most versatile, dynamic, install-friendly speaker in the industry. Designed and engineered with a scientific focus, Signature provides high-performance sound through low distortion, wide dispersion, and flat frequency response. Plus, Signature speakers are crafted with intuitive features like Push Lock by Swarm technology, as well as a one- or two-step install option and a full suite of accessories for unparalleled convenience on any install.

Easy Install

Signature by Episode features exclusive Push Lock by Swarm technology, a toolless mounting solution specifically designed for Signature. For both in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, Push Lock secures the speaker with the simple press of a button for the fastest and most secure install on the market. Plus, the dogs can be cinched down an extra 6mm when you need additional security in situations with uneven sheetrock, popcorn ceilings, etc.

Your Speaker, Your Choice

Every Signature by Episode speaker (yes, both in-ceiling and in-wall) can be installed via a one-step or two-step process. Install the speaker in one step with zero tools and one trip up the ladder or remove the center core of the speaker and install the cradle with optional backbox and grille, so you don’t risk speaker damage while the build completes.

Honeycomb Fiberglass Woofer

A forward-set honeycomb fiberglass Nomex woofer offers wide dispersion and tight bass for the best in distributed audio or home theater sound.

Pure Titanium Dual Tweeters

Our dual tweeters deliver warm, refined, and mellow highs for incomparable performance.

Unmatched Performance

Crafted in house with a sleek finish and elite components designed to achieve the sound principles of the NRC, Signature by Episode delivers lifelike tones that are pleasing to the ear and won’t fatigue the listener over time. With premium woofer and tweeter material, these bad boys deliver deep bass and unmatched tonal clarity for lifelike sound at any listening level. Signature’s superior audio quality is accomplished by adhering to our three philosophies on sound: low distortion, wide dispersion, and flat frequency response.

Direct-Mount Backbox

The one-step install features a jumperless design for a single-wire connection to the rear of the backbox (sold separately) for a once-up-the-ladder toolless install. The two-step install lets you prewire and install the backbox to the cradle, keeping blown insulation from falling through the ceiling and maintaining pressure during home efficiency tests. Plus, when you return to finish the job, the speaker installs into the cradle & backbox with no wires needed AND no tools. Every Signature by Episode speaker comes with a cradle and has a compatible cradle that can be purchased separately.

Surround Mode Switch

Set the speaker to bipole or dipole to get the perfect sound for your application and preference.

Tweeter Compensation Switch

The tweeter features a + or – 2dB gain for perfect, customized sound matched perfectly to your customer’s space.

Innovative Tweeter Pods

Signature tweeter pods are vented in the back to drop the resonance frequency of the tweeter, allowing the system to be crossed over for greater dispersion and less distortion. The lower the crossover, the less work the woofer has to do to play higher in the frequency band, providing greater spatiality when listening to music.

Dual-Tweeter Configuration

Stereo signals are reproduced with good separation thanks to the orientation of the dual tweeters. Plus, they can also be configured as dipole or bipole so that the sound emanates from the sides of the speakers.

Easy Protection

The speaker’s protective cover serves as a handle when carrying up a ladder, as a shield during transportation and install, and as a guard during paint. They are included with all in-ceiling speakers and cradles to provide protection and convenience.

Stronger Grille Magnets

The magnet structure on the speaker frame has nearly 2X the holding capacity of other architectural speakers, preventing grilles from vibrating at loud volumes and bowing over time.

Flush-Mount Design

Our affordable flush-mount brackets (sold separately) offer a unique design to turn any Signature by Episode and Episode speaker into a flush-mounted solution, providing a seamless transition from grille to wall without cracking the drywall or requiring a new speaker. You won’t mind passing this simple solution to the drywaller to help get the job done!

Ribbed Surround

Inverted surrounds feature a parabolic design to provide greater cone excursion in a linear form without rippling of the surround, allowing the speaker to be played louder without distortion.
