ESSENTIAL SPEAKER SUPPLEMENT
CHARM YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH TOTEM ACOUSTIC
Born out of love for music and movies, this brand offers everything you could want in a home audio manufacturer, high-quality sound, adaptable products, aesthetic charm and all created for the way people listen today. Totem has such a strong range of products to offer the AV and installation market, we thought we would take this opportunity to take a trip through just some of the current highlights. The Totem Tribe V & III on-walls, like every single product in the Totem family, are designed in-house by charismatic founder, Vince Bruzzese. These solutions are able to operate as a fantastic centre speaker or in a 2.1 or expanded surrounded sound system. Assembled at the company’s HQ in Canada, these speakers deliver beautiful, natural representation with a full, rich body of sound that extends way below what you would think for such a slim and attractive design. Other characteristics are impressive accuracy with a very wide dispersion field so on or off axis listening is still at high-quality. A particular strong point here is the hand assembled Torrent drive units using revolutionary magnetic technology which keeps
the voice coil continuously immersed within the magnetic field for absolute and instant control of its every reaction. The Tribe V, step-up product in the range, was awarded On-Wall Product Of The Year by respected U.S website AVS Forum this year. Totem also offers a strong choice of inwall fully integrated speakers based on the company’s highly regarded KIN and Tribe series. Again, the company has been recognised here as the KIN version was awarded In-Wall Product Of The Year, again by AVS Forum. The key message here is that these fully integrated designs retain all that is great about the KIN and Tribe Series offering highly impressive on and off axis response as well as spot-on timing, just a really fantastic speaker that happens to be in-wall, all the aesthetic advantages and none of the audio drawbacks. The Tribe versions make full use of neodymium actuated enriched MHEX woofers, delivering powerful, lighting fast bass. Oversized silk dome tweeters deliver a fluid and impeccably airy presence. Overall, the speakers present perfect sound staging and phase correctness for an emotionfilled musicality.
The KIN Architectural IW was conceived to be the ultimate in compact and versatile in-wall speakers delivering tuneful depth again using the company’s highly capable MHEX woofers, and soft dome, titanium infused tweeters.
A SOUND DECISION
The popular soundbar category is also another area where this brand excels as a growing number of Redline customers are finding out. The Tribe Solution Duo and Trio soundbars take the format and add real character and individuality. Tribe Solutions bars are passive designs meaning off-board sophisticated amplification can be bought into play to bring these superb products to life. Both designs also offer strong aesthetics making them suitable for any type of property or design. Both speakers have been created to be strong all-round performers offering fantastic support for music, movies and gaming.
Kin Play has connections to match the needs of consumers
