Configurations Changeable on Savant's New Power-Over-Ethernet Speakers

Savant introduced powered architectural speakers with Power over Ethernet connectivity. Each powered Savant Micro Aperture PoE speaker can run up to three passive speakers and will self-regulate output power according to the PoE switch or injector being used. Because each connected unit is individually controlled, its configuration can be changed depending on application, said the company. Speakers could play music during the day and then become surround-channel speakers for a theater system at night with a single button press, Savant said. The in-ceiling Micro Aperture speakers come in three versions: a self-powered PoE speaker, companion PoE satellite speaker and a passive speaker that interfaces with traditional audio systems.
