Hide Your High-End Audio Behind Fine Art—Powered by the Sonos Amp

Whether you love folk-rock or low-fi electronic, imagine your favorite music wafting through every room and hall of your home. With a multi-room audio setup, you can sync your tunes across the house, selecting songs and raising the volume right from your phone.

But adding enough speakers for powerful sound can become cluttered, and perhaps there isn’t a good place for multiple devices. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers are an option but require an installation. Luckily, there’s a new approach to hidden audio by Leon, the renowned speaker manufacturer.

Leon’s new Ente SoundTile series combines fine art with 2-channel audio for a piece that looks more like a decoration than a speaker. Powered by the Sonos Amp, the speakers are concealed by an artwork grille that enhances any room. Read on to learn how the Ente SoundTile will work in your Dallas, TX home.
