The SA53-7-ENC is part of the new Small Aperture® collection of ceiling and in-wall systems that provide high volume levels, deep bass and wide coverage from a small 4” square or 5" round flush and seamless square opening. James SA Series models are essentially hidden, yet provide the complete musical experience. Each unit has been engineered to integrate a multitude of designer demands, the no compromise design solution for the meticulously artful and audio enthusiast alike.

Each system is a true full range, 3-way design with a 0.75” (19mm) aluminum dome tweeter, 3.5” (89mm) aluminum midrange driver and a 5.25” (135mm) aluminum mini PowerPipe subwoofer, all concentrically mounted. Designed for high volume playback, the SA53-7-ENC is ideally suited in any home theater or media room environment, where critical listening is paramount and aesthetics are equally as vital.

The point source mid/high module provides excellent off-axis response and the hidden mini PowerPipe woofer generates bass down to 50Hz for a truly full-range music experience, yet the user only sees a 4” square or 5" round seamless flush opening. The grille configuration has industry standard mounting and accepts high-end lighting trim kits to allow the speaker to match lighting fixtures in the same installation.

This model of Small Aperture can be ordered with shorter brackets that can collapse down to 7 5/8” and expand to 13”. Please specify, at the time of order, if a smaller bracket is needed.

The 53SA-7 conforms to UL2043 and UL1480 standards for fire safety and plenum use.

Professional Audio Video Engineering Uses James Loudspeaker products in Nashville Penthouse

Professional Audio Video Engineering (PAVE) in Nashville works with James Loudspeaker to outfit a luxury penthouse with 20 Small Aperture speakers, subwoofer and a 1.5" tall custom SoundBar.

"Our relationship with James Loudspeaker is an integral part of our business," says Stafford. "They don't know the word 'no.' At times I have actually told them that I wish they could train others."

"I can't tell you how many custom products I have done in the last 10 or 15 years with James," says Stafford. "Every time I throw something at them, they throw it back, and it outperforms what we really wanted. If other manufacturers could follow that pattern, I would be very happy."
