Inspiring wiring
With six or seven speakers around the room
and yards of cable issuing from them, a home
theatre set-up can seem like a scene from
Spiderman. Even with cable concealed under
floors or within walls, at some point it has to
emerge and make connections with speakers.
When it does it can still spoil the view of either
a movie or the surroundings (or of the clean lines
of the M-1).
With the M-1, we’ve done our best to cut
down on the web of wiring, and pushed cable
management a stage further than usual. Taking
a leaf from the book of office furniture design,
we’ve integrated the cable into the product and
its various mounting accessories. In concealing
the cable, we’ve also concealed the connections,
so there are no sockets visible, either.
Cable enters via the speaker’s floor stand,
table plinth or wall bracket. The electrical signal
is conducted to the speaker through the metal
‘arm’ that supports it. The arm itself forms the
negative conductor, and a single, insulated wire
running inside it provides the positive one.
When mounting a M-1 on the wall, the
bracket can be wired and pre-installed, with
the speaker being fitted later, in plug-and-play
fashion. In the floor stand, the cable is threaded
through the central column and then into the
arm at the top. Now what you see is as pleasing
as what you hear.
In the same way a power
cable enters a well-designed
table lamp at its base, and
passes up through the stand,
the M-1’s signal cable
disappears into the back of
the table plinth stand, from
where the signal reaches
the speaker via a specially-
designed, pre-wired ‘arm’
support.
Each of the M-1’s three
mounting options – table
plinth, wall bracket and floor
stand – contains an entry point
for the signal cable, and an
‘arm’ support that conveys
the signal to the speaker, via
a combination of the metal
arm itself and a high quality
wire inside it.
To emphasise the sensuous
minimalism of its design, the
M-1 is available in a choice of
three high quality, understated
finishes: black, silver and white.
