[Ann Arbor, MI] – April 17, 2024 – Leon Speakers proudly unveils its latest innovation: an upgraded ultra-thin audio platform available across three of its most popular product lines. Building upon the success of its thinnest line of speakers, formerly known as UT, the new UX platform sets a new standard for audio performance and aesthetic integration in the acclaimed Horizon, Profile, and FrameBar TV speaker series.
At the heart of the enhanced UX platform lies a revolutionary Morel driver design, developed in collaboration with leading acoustic engineering experts. This advanced 2.5″ driver, housed within a cast aluminum basket for enhanced rigidity and performance, delivers unparalleled sound quality in the slimmest cabinet available from Leon. These technical advancements in the UX category ensure a listening experience that surpasses expectations, setting a new benchmark for audio excellence.
“At Leon, our commitment to pushing the boundaries of both sound and style has made us a leader in both categories,” said Noah Kaplan, Founder and President of Leon Speakers. “With the newly enhanced UX platform, we’ve reimagined our thinnest line of speakers to deliver even better performance and design to our dealers and end users.”
Aesthetic alignment with Leon’s 33UX and 44UX options is a hallmark of the new UX platform, with design elements like the driver flange and cone reflecting the high standards set by existing lines. Together, this cohesive design language and ultra-thin depth ensure that the UX platform seamlessly integrates into any environment, maintaining a consistent and stylish appearance throughout each line.
The new UX options include the FrameBar UX, Horizon UX, and Profile UX models—each boasting a perfectly slim cabinet of just under 2 inches. Whether mounted to a TV or installed on-wall, UX’s sleek dimensions provide a seamless and integrated look that complements both commercial and residential spaces alike.
In addition to its technical and aesthetic enhancements, each UX solution offers Leon’s signature fit and finish customization options, allowing integrators like Solutions Audio/Video & Technology to match the ultra-thin depth requirements of today’s top TVs while still tailoring to clients’ unique spaces and style preferences.
“Our Install of the Year project was the perfect application for Leon’s ultra-slim FrameBar,” said Solutions Audio/Video & Technology’s Steve Paul of the integrator’s recent award-winning entry. “We were able to keep with the original home aesthetics and achieve a beautiful way to bring great audio to the Samsung Frame TV.”
“The release of the UX platform presents a new opportunity for us to share our sound and speaker story with the world,” added Kaplan. “With every UX solution, we’re empowering our end users to experience uncompromising audio performance in a package that’s as visually stunning as it is sonically impressive.”

ANN ARBOR, MI (JUNE 26, 2023) ̶ Azione Unlimited brought together 68 dealer-member technicians and four vendor members for an exclusive Leadership Symposium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This two-day meeting focused on building relationships, discovering new resources, and sharing best practices among the group’s top technicians. To top it all off, Leon Speakers gave Azione a true feel for their company culture and daily regimen with a comprehensive factory tour and listening experience.
Leon’s Director of Operations, Nelini Faulkner, conveyed to the Azione team what makes Leon so special when she said, “I miss this place when I’m gone. When I leave at the end of each day, I can’t wait to come back. The art, the people, the energy. It’s a place that I truly love to create and collaborate.”
The Leon team took Azione’s group on a three-part tour designed to give attendees a glimpse into the daily regimen of creating artistic audio solutions at Leon. Group one, led by COO Ethan Kaplan, started with a behind-the-scenes tour of the manufacturing facility where each piece is custom-made, assembled, and tested. A second group met Carolyn Ceccoli, Director of Residential Sales & Marketing, in the Leon Loft for an immersive Top Gun listening experience led by Alex Keomany and Mark Maynard of the Sales & Engineering teams, respectively. Lastly, Group three followed MoFi Electronics President John Schaffer through their production studio and listening room, which concluded with an exclusive brewery tour and tasting of Mothfire Brewing’s recently released craft brews.
“Azione Unlimited loves to have meetings with our owners, however, it seems every time we dig deeper into the dealer teams, the more pervasive the excitement,” says Azione President and CCO, Richard Glikes. “The Leon people and facility provided an unforgettable experience, and it reminded us how important family is in business.”
Noah Kaplan, Leon Founder and President adds, “We were immensely grateful for the opportunity to host such an awesome group of techs from the Azione group. Inviting them into Leon, sharing our culture and a few beers reminded us all of the great partners we get to work with every day!”
Azione hosted Lead Techs for the first time after focusing on sales, marketing, and operations leaders in the past. This meeting was well received by the group of techs that attended, and friendships made will continue to prosper. Attendees have already expressed great interest in future Leadership Symposiums for technicians.
Richard capped the symposium by saying, “I walked away from this event feeling really happy with the depth of the content and comradery that was experienced.”

Integrated conferencing solutions, high-performance speakers and display furnishings designed to elevate and streamline the workplace will all be front and center at Leon’s InfoComm Booth #3561.
ANN ARBOR, MI (JUNE 5, 2023) ̶ As companies continue balancing the return-to-office wave with a new hybrid communication style, the aesthetics of AV technology are more important than ever. At this year’s InfoComm, Leon Speakers will be showcasing a diverse portfolio of stylish and scalable tech concealment and high-quality audio solutions that complement and enhance the design of any commercial space.
The way we work is changing and people are searching for more when it comes to their workspaces: a little more “home” in the office and a little more “office” at home. Businesses are looking to create inviting, creative, and inspiring environments that authentically attract and retain talent.
How we integrate AV technology, leaning into design-forward tech solutions, is just as important as the rest of the workplace interior in creating a modern, approachable, and elevated environment. Leon’s integrated conferencing solutions, high-performance speakers, and display furnishings—all customizable and at-scale—help businesses to do just that.
Unsightly wiring, boring plastic default display setups, and subpar sound can make even the most intentionally designed work spaces feel uncomfortable and off-brand. Leon’s intuitive, functional, and stylish “resi-mercial” solutions bridge the gap between specifiers, installers, and end-users to bring technology up to the same high standards as the rest of the space.
“People everywhere are seeking workplace environments that they look forward to entering every day,” says Leon founder and president Noah Kaplan. “Our goal is to lead by design and show how important AV and conferencing technology are in creating an attractive and inspiring space. Leon’s solutions are easy to install, and as you enter our booth, you’ll be able to see the instant difference they can make for a space.”
To showcase how to create beautiful teleconferencing spaces for every room type, Leon will display its latest solutions across several vignettes at InfoComm Booth #3561:
Leon’s patented Horizon Interactive FIT combines the high-fidelity audio of the Horizon soundbar series with a sleek mounting bracket designed to house a wide range of conferencing webcams from Poly, Cisco, Logi, Huddly, and more. Each Horizon Interactive FIT is outfitted with a seamless custom grille handcrafted to match the exact width of any display. The perfect solution for any mid-to-large immersive conferencing room that features an ultra-wide display, the Horizon FIT makes any space feel intentional, stylish, and easy-to-use.
Cove by Leon, a personal desktop teleconferencing solution, is designed to support an individual work space in any open-office or hybrid work environment. Cove allows users to focus, connect and get creative with ease. With its flattering natural backlighting, sound-damping felt, and sleek design, Cove represents a new way for workers to look, sound, and feel their best during remote meetings–even in the busiest of shared spaces.
Built to match any display size, Leon’s ToneCase Fit Universal streamlined mounting system is designed to integrate any all-in-one video conferencing soundbar into a huddle or mid-to-large sized conferencing space. Accommodating the most prevalent soundbars on the market, including options by Sonos and Sennheiser, each TcFit-U offers customizable dimensions alongside furniture-grade finishes, custom paint-matching, and the ability to upgrade to one of several designer grille fabric options.
Making its first public debut at InfoComm will be a demonstration of Leon’s groundbreaking Off-Wall Media Frame—a freestanding mounting solution that accommodates a display, soundbar, and teleconferencing technologies for mid-to-large and huddle spaces with glass walls or other environments where wall attachment is not possible.
Built to withstand even the harshest conditions, Leon’s Terra outdoor speaker collection is the perfect complement to any outdoor space. All Terra products offer crystal-clear sound and ultra-durable casing in customizable finishes to match any environment. The new Terra LuminSound collection features integrated up- or down-lighting to illuminate any path, greenery, or architectural elements.
Distributed exclusively by Leon, the LiquidView Virtual Window provides stunning 24-hour, 8K-resolution views of beautiful locations all over the world—synced to a specified location and time of day. Now, any room can have an award-winning view with Virtual Window’s Single Window and Panorama options.

The latest addition to Leon’s popular Edge Media Frame line of technology concealment solutions, the Profile Edge elegantly frames a display and integrates Leon’s signature Profile sidemount speakers in one custom-fit, stylish hardwood frame
[Ann Arbor, MI] – April 26, 2023 – Leon Speakers announced today the release of the new Profile Edge Media Frame. A custom-fit solution, Profile Edge’s elegant design conceals and frames Leon’s signature sidemount speakers alongside any display.
Unsightly borders, wires, and brackets can lead to an on-wall display that detracts from the style of a space, but the Profile Edge’s mid-century modern-inspired handcrafted frame and vertical slat wood grille option will turn any television into a unique and timeless centerpiece.
Like all Edge products, the new Profile Edge is engineered to install easily and is built to fit the exact dimensions of a television. It is available in a variety of Leon standard finishes including hardwoods, with additional options for custom paint matching and Designer Grille Fabrics.
The perfect addition to any home entertainment system, the Profile Edge’s side-mounted speakers create a broader, more cohesive sound stage for any room. Four audio performance options: ultra-thin Profile 44UX, Profile 55UX, Profile ULTIMA, and flagship reference-grade Profile SEVENs, are available in both two-channel and multi-channel configurations to meet the audiovisual needs of any room.
“We believe that, as our technology continues to evolve, our approach to design must evolve with it,” says Leon Speakers founder and president Noah Kaplan. “The Profile Edge represents a new era of technology decor.”
