Leon Profile 404-X-A — Audiophile Meets AudioStyle
Beautifully styled and expertly crafted, the Profile 404-X-A delivers high-fidelity and high-design to any environment. With a depth of only 3¼ inches, the Profile 404-X-A complements new, thinner flat-panel TVs, and can be custom-built to match the exact height and finish of any display.

The Profile 404-X-A is well suited for small theater settings and two channel audiophile listening rooms. It utilizes some of the finest drivers and tweeters in the world: each channel features dual 4-inch Peerless HDS woofers and a Morel MDT29 1-inch hand-treated, cloth-dome tweeter housed in a vented enclosure. The speaker boasts a 65 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response and a power rating of 235 W per channel.

Also just 3¼ inches deep, the Profile 114-X-A Surrounds can be easily mounted on-wall to produce superb stereo imaging.

Leon A3-SUB
Leon Speakers also debuts a very unique 3-in-1 compact subwoofer sporting a radical new design. The new A3-SUB redefines the possibility of large bass from a small enclosure for in-wall, on-wall, or in-room configurations. Featuring AuraSound-patented Neo Radial Technology (NRT) and a unique teardrop-shaped motor structure, this subwoofer can handle large amounts of power with minimal compression. The A3-SUB’s modular design allows quick and easy conversion to in-wall, on-wall, or in-room setups for short lead times or project plan changes.
The A3-SUB boasts an 8-inch Aura driver delivering extremely large 1.6-inch peak excursion, increased linearity, lower distortion, greater efficiency, and greater power handling to 400 W. Measuring just 12 inches by 14 inches, and less than 4 inches deep, it achieves a 30 Hz to 1 kHz frequency bandwidth in a .25-cubic-foot cabinet. The reverse-mounted magnet design increases usable air volume and yields surprising bass and sound levels from an extremely small cabinet. The A3-SUB also comes with vibration dampening wall mounts and is triple braced for rigidity.
The A3-SUB is available as a standalone subwoofer and can also be powered with a 1000-W Leon sub amplifier. Custom-built in only three to five business days, the A3-SUB is available now at a starting MSRP of $895 while the amplifier starts at $995.
