Included in the new family of Snap One’s Episode Home Theater speakers are two performance levels: Episode Home Theater and Episode Home Theater Reference.

All in-room models are available in three different color options, including gloss black, gloss white and walnut veneer.
Meanwhile the Home Theater Reference series speakers are designed for high performance, with Snap One positioning the speakers as the “pinnacle” of the Episode speaker portfolio.

The series also features a solid MDF cabinet, 1-inchaluminum dome tweeters, an aluminum dome midrange or wide band transducers, carbon fiber woofers and second order Linkwitz-Riley filters with Zobel impedance matching.
The Episode Home Theater Family offers full support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro3D immersive surround sound sources, the company adds.
Alex Zaliauskas, director of product management for speakers at Snap One, says these speakers are the best Episode products the company has developed.
“Our Partner integrators have long trusted Episode to provide high-performance speakers at an incredible value, and Episode Home Theater takes that goal to new heights,” Zaliauskas says. “We’ve dedicated countless hours to meticulously curating the finest drivers and components for this line of speakers, setting a new standard of sound reproduction and raising the bar for the Episode brand.”
