Announced at Cedia US 2009, the A-BUS Direct
in-ceiling speaker won the CEPro award for best
in-ceiling speaker below $1000. This is a huge achievement and well deserved recognition for this excellent product.
The A-BUS Direct Active Speaker, manufactured by Leisuretech Electronics and branded and distributed by Eaton in the US, is available under the Forté brand in Australia from Leisuretech Electronics.

Eatons A-BUS Direct speakers could be best described as audio made easy! Adding additional speakers to an already existing A-BUS system only requires a single CAT5 cable run directly to the speaker location. This new design not only eliminates the need to fish wire to a volume control location on the wall, but it also cuts down on the amount of speaker cable needed. The volume control and amplifier are now built directly into the speaker. Placing the amplifier at the speaker location ensures a proper match of power to the speaker and eliminates cable/signal loss.
