The PowerPlane is designed to perform well in a variety of locations throughout the room. It can be mounted in walls, ceilings, or in an enclosed cabinet. Because of the coaxial/coplanar driver mounting, the PowerPlane can be oriented both horizontally or vertically. For optimum performance, the PowerPlane should not be placed very near room corners or where furniture may obstruct the speakerÕs output.

It is important that the PowerPlane be mounted securely to prevent unwanted vibration, therefore mounting only to the wall material, like drywall, is not recommended. The PowerPlane is designed to fit easily into walls with standard 16" stud spacing so that the speaker is ultimately secured to the framing studs. Suggested wall installation instructions for standard walls are shown below. For vertical speaker mounting, adapters can be ordered from THIEL to help secure the speaker to the studs.

Place the provided cutting template on the desired wall position and secure with removable tape. The template has guide marks to assist with leveling.

Cut out the wall opening using the templateÕs guide marks.

Place the PowerPlane into the wall opening, level, and secure to the wall studs with the four provided

#6 mounting screws.

Thiel Audio has long been recognized as a purveyor of high-quality audio products, and their PowerPlane series stands out as a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and performance. The Thiel Audio PowerPlane is a highly-regarded loudspeaker that embodies advanced technology and meticulous engineering, making it a favorite among audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike.

One of the main features of the PowerPlane is its unique planar design. Unlike conventional speakers that use dynamic drivers, the PowerPlane employs a flat diaphragm that moves in a controlled manner to produce sound. This design allows for incredibly accurate sound reproduction with minimal distortion, resulting in a clearer and more lifelike listening experience. The planar technology enables a wider sweet spot, so listeners can enjoy exceptional sound from various positions in the room.

The PowerPlane is also known for its exceptional frequency response. With the capability to reproduce deep bass notes without the need for a separate subwoofer, this speaker offers a full-range listening experience. The combination of planar drivers and Thiel's proprietary crossover technology ensures a seamless transition across frequencies, allowing listeners to appreciate the nuances of their favorite recordings.

Another standout characteristic of the PowerPlane is its elegant and minimalist design. The sleek and unobtrusive appearance enables it to blend effortlessly into any décor. This aesthetic appeal doesn’t compromise performance; instead, it highlights Thiel Audio’s philosophy of delivering beauty in both form and function.

Additionally, the PowerPlane incorporates robust build quality. Constructed from high-grade materials, these speakers are designed to stand the test of time, providing longevity and consistent performance. The attention to detail in both construction and sound engineering guarantees that users can enjoy their audio investment for many years.

Thiel Audio also emphasizes customization and integration with other audio systems. The PowerPlane can be easily paired with various amplifiers, allowing users to create a system that fulfills their personal audio preferences. Its versatile nature makes it suitable for various listening environments, whether in dedicated home theaters or casual living spaces.

Ultimately, the Thiel Audio PowerPlane represents a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, aesthetic appeal, and superior sound quality. The careful engineering that goes into every unit ensures that listeners experience their music in the most authentic way possible, making the PowerPlane a noteworthy choice for anyone serious about audio performance.
