Glossary

The PICS speaker system is based on a simple brief – to deliver the sound quality associated with floor standing and bookshelf speakers in a package that is as much a contemporary work of art as it is a speaker.

PICS speakers are designed to be mounted either on wall or in wall and can be customised to perfectly imitate a favourite painting or photograph by adding either your own picture or one from our large portfolio of stock artwork.

These pictures are then printed on acoustically transparent material ready to be fitted to the speaker grill to create custom works of wall mounted art.
