PLACIDO DOMINGO STEPS OUT FOR SOUND ADVANCE

Legendary tenor endorses "invisible" SA2 loudspeakers

Heralded by Newsweek magazine as the "King of Opera", Placido Domingo is one of the most decorated and honored performing artists within the public eye today. Blessed with good health, unflagging stamina, and an amazingly flexible voice, the 59 year-old tenor maintains a touring schedule which takes him from the Far East to South America and from the U.S. to virtually every country in Europe.

No stranger to hearing his own voice within Milan's La Scala, the Vienna State Opera, London's Covent Garden, Paris' Bastille Opera, Chicago's Lyric Opera, and every other prestigious opera house in the world, when Domingo listens to music in his own home, he relies on "invisible" SA2 loudspeakers from Sound Advance Systems.

Having recently added his name to the Santa Ana, California-based company's roster of endorsing artists, Domingo is admittedly hooked upon the omnidirectional performance of the flat-panel devices, which are known for their ability to envelop every corner of a room with clean, highly intelligible sound while remaining totally out-of-sight.

Central to their ability to perform this disappearing act is Sound Advance's patented SA2 in-wall design. Once installed, the loudspeakers can be covered with latex paint, fabric, wallpaper, or any one of a number of textured finishes to vanish without a trace within walls and ceilings.

Ideally suited for surround sound environments, home theatres, and multimedia entertainment, SA2 loudspeakers are available exclusively from authorized Sound Advance dealers nationwide. Within any installation project, the first pair of the flat-panel devices has an average cost of $1800. With each pair, the price includes backboxes, installation by a certified technician, and a full fifteen-year warranty which covers the removal, replacement, and refinishing of wall or ceiling surfaces to their original condition should electro-mechanical failure occur. The loudspeakers can be (un)seen and heard at select certified showrooms.
