Starke Sound Introduces Bold and Beautiful IW-H5 Elite Loudspeaker

August 2017—Carson, CA—Starke Sound’s IW-H5 Elite loudspeaker, with its powerful combination of performance and craftsmanship, features a shallow cabinet depth best suited for on-wall positioning and in-wall installations, while its impressive internal volume is similar to that of floorstanding models.

Like all Starke Sound loudspeakers, the IW-H5 utilizes Starke’s patented Linear Magnetic Field™ (LMF) technology, designed to extend the frequency range while minimizing distortion. Starke’s unique beryllium tweeter can reproduce high frequencies with amazing detail, and the company’s carbon-fiber–reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) driver cones provide strength and rigidity to minimize structural deflections without affecting the driver’s ability to reproduce subtle variations in sound. The drivers’ relatively large, high-strength magnets are Y35 strontium-barium ferrite types, which have been proven to produce the least magnetic-field distortion. And to diminish sonic distortion, Starke Sound’s engineers and designers emphasize the simplification of crossover design—the heart and soul of a loudspeaker. Huge dynamic range, amazing levels of detail, and rich, deep-reaching bass—all characterize the IW-H5’s sonic signature.

With its stunning, gem-inspired design of clean lines and beveled edges, the IW-H5 easily blends with any décor, is available in custom color options, and comes with a ten-year warranty.

“We are thrilled to introduce the CEDIA community to our brand,” says Starke Sound’s Chief Design Officer Scott DeLoache. “Our theater demonstration will showcase not only our performance capabilities, but also the beautiful craftsmanship of our products, including hand-built piano lacquer cabinets, available in custom finishes.  We are interested in expanding our network of trusted partners who desire profitable, high-end home theater solutions backed by support programs designed to exponentially grow their business.”
