EL DIABLO DOESN'T MISSArtcoustic have released a new, multi-talented speaker enclosure christened the Diablo Target. Equally at home whether wall-mounted, mounted in-ceiling or employed outdoors, its compact, contemporary stylings allow it to complement a wide variety of surroundings. Despite boastingdimensions of just 200x200x69mm, sound-wise it's capable of a fairly hefty frequency response of up to 40kHz at 92dB through its rippled tweeterwhile also exhibiting high sound pressure levels, even from low-powered amplifiers in the 20W+ range.

In terms of hardware, each unit contains a 5.5-inch combined mid/bass unit that can be optionally linked to an Artcoustic subwoofer, togetherwith the firm's proprietary 'Artcoustic Target Lens', which enables the Diablo's high-frequency response to be angled in a particular direction. Thesurrounding enclosure is furthermore corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for use in bathrooms, pool areas or commercial outdoor environmentssuch as bars, terraces and gardens. Supplied with steel hanger brackets for relatively hassle-free mounting, each 3.5kg unit also comes packaged withan in-ceiling installation kit and a white metallic grille, with a further eight grille colour options also available.

On sale now, the RRP for the Diablo Target is £357, excluding VAT.For further information contact: +44 (0)1245 400 904 www.artcoustic.com
