Visiting the TriadSpeakers factory for private theaters

Visit the TriadSpeakers factory

The custom installation of private theaters is on the rise, and the brand of speakers that are custom-installed like TriadSpeakers is gradually becoming known to us. However, our understanding of them is still limited compared to traditional audio and video brands. All of this eventually led me to the idea of ​​visiting TriadSpeakers.

"Single custom" advanced speaker

The TriadSpeakers facility is located near Portland Airport, Oregon. Their products have excellent manufacturing quality, comparable to the sound quality of Hi-Fi speakers and a wide range of optional exteriors, which allow it to be integrated into the home environment without any barriers.

Unlike traditional speaker manufacturers, TriadSpeakers has been dedicated to customizing speakers for high-end private theater users for 31 years. In other words, it can achieve the “personalized” solution that users need: for example, you can make the exterior of the box an alternative red, green or other color; for example, you can make it according to your own wall. Features to change the size of the cabinet or the position of the terminal... It is available in up to 150 models, each of which can be individually modified to suit the user's needs. As a result, TriadSpeakers has become the most popular speaker brand for CEDIA (International Intelligent Electronic Systems Design and Customization Installation Association) members.

Walking into the factory of TriadSpeakers, I didn't see the mountains of finished products. It turned out that it only accepts “single order customization”: when the designer of the private theater has developed a design plan and configuration list for the customer, the order is sent to the factory, produced on demand, and shipped to the world. TriadSpeakers' Chinese agent, integr8 (晟恺 integration), says it takes 4-6 weeks. Of course, just like custom-made clothing, it is worth waiting for.

Adhere to the "Made in the USA" speaker

I visited the entire production process, and in the factory near Portland Airport, TriadSpeakers is one of the few speaker brands that still insist on “Made in the USA”.

At the TriadSpeakers factory, they cleverly combine automation and manpower. When high-precision cutting is required, it is done by CNC machine tools to ensure that the same batch of speakers are exactly the same. However, the installation of the crossover, damping material and speaker unit must be done by experienced workers. SEAS, Scan-Speak, Vifa and Peerless, these advanced speaker manufacturers from Europe, provide TriadSpeakers with the units they need. Every speaker unit costs hundreds of dollars. Of course, as the core component of the speaker, TriadSpeakers is willing to invest in it.

If the user selects a custom finish, TriadSpeakers will send them to a dedicated work area. The original factory offers a wide range of options: for example, veneer exteriors that are consistent with the home environment; or custom-made speakers of the same width as TV sets and furniture. You can appreciate the perfect sound of TriadSpeakers without making it extraordinarily awkward at home.

Legend: TriadSpeakers has a complete manufacturing process from cutting and forming of the cabinet to installation of the unit and final inspection.

I saw the CR1 in production at the scene. This is the first "work" in the CinemaReference flagship collection. It is perfect: the smooth surface of the curve, the outside without any joints, the internal structural parts are precisely polished.

Born for a private theater

It can be said that TriadSpeakers is a brand created for private cinemas. In North America, high-end consumers are no longer obsessed with the configuration of a simple set of sound. Through custom installation, from the purchase of audio equipment to the design of the home environment and even the sound/video debugging of the cinema, you can "simulate" the professional effects of the cinema in the ordinary home environment. The emergence of this kind of private cinema has become one of the lifestyles that Hollywood movie stars and IT newcomers are eagerly awaiting.

TriadSpeakers is involved in such a market. It creates a sound that rivals the cinema, and can be embedded into the wall according to the user's needs, or other flexible installation methods, allowing you to "forget" their existence while feeling different. The usual effect. Its shape, style and even exterior can be adjusted according to the needs of users. All manufacturing processes are done by the original factory, which makes quality control easier. Because of this, TriadSpeakers is committed to providing users with a 10-year warranty.

If you are interested in setting up a private cinema for yourself, then it is clearly the best choice, at least in the choice of speakers.
