New Products

Winter may be upon us but that didn’t deter NJ-based Coastal Source from announcing the availability of a new line of mix-and-match high-performance outdoor speakers that were previewed at CEDIA 2023 in September.

The new patent-pending Razor line comprises eight passive models across three series defined by size and breadth, all featuring low-profile “hardscape” cabinets that are designed to be mounted on a wall or in a corner.

The 100 Series is dedicated to the 10.6-inch-tall RZ110 2-way satellite speaker, the 200 Series features the medium-size RZ210 2.5-way and RZ220 3-way speakers, and the 300 Series includes five models that span three distinct applications: The 3-foot-tall RZ310 3-way model, two soundbars — the RZ320 2.1-channel and RZ330 3.1-channel models, designed for surface or corner mounting — the RZ340 line-source speaker featuring a column of six coaxial drivers, and the RZ350 subwoofer featuring four vertically-aligned 5.25-inch woofers.

Except for the subwoofer, all models feature one or more super-shallow coaxial drivers with a tweeter mounted in the center of a midrange driver and feature a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure with an integrated aluminum mounting bracket and aluminum grille. The tweeters are seated in an Acoustic Fractal Waveguide bridge that is said to improve clarity and efficiency.

All models are offered in black or white and prices range from $750 to $3,995.

“Razor is all about setting new standards for innovation and installer-centric design that defy the elements in every respect,” said company co-founder and CEO Franco D’Ascanio. “Drawing on our years of outdoor experience, we have designed these low-profile architectural speakers to be rugged enough for outdoors and refined enough for use indoors.”
