An addition to Leon’s Terra LuminSound TrLs50 collection, the new 32-inch-tall Terra LuminSound Bollard enhances outdoor areas with exceptional audio and adjustable lighting.
[Ann Arbor, MI] – June 1, 2022 – Building off the popularity of its newly redesigned Terra LuminSound outdoor speaker line, Leon introduces a redesigned, taller model. The Terra LuminSound Bollard speaker features the same handcrafted components and built-in low voltage lighting as the shorter landscape version but stands taller thanks to a 21-inch aircraft-grade aluminum base. At an overall height of 32 inches and available with halo and adjustable pathway lighting, the Terra LuminSound Bollard beautifully defines and enhances any residential or commercial outdoor space.
“As we all continue spending more time outside, Leon wants to give integrators more design options that add audiovisual ambiance to commercial and residential environments,” says Noah Kaplan, Leon founder and president. “With premium customizable powder coat finishes, the Terra LuminSound Bollard delivers exceptional sound and style to pathways, rooftops, outdoor kitchens, and more.”
Incorporating audio and lighting in one compact, IP67-rated enclosure, the Terra LuminSound Bollard provides premium sound in a sleek, customizable package that is designed and built to withstand even the harshest of climates. It’s available with commercial-grade lighting that can be adjusted to illuminate pathways, landscaping, and architectural details. Hardscape mounting is the preferred installation method for the bollard model, and like all Terra products, it is handcrafted in the USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Real-estate mogul Ryan Serhant goes all out, furnishing six floors of his 8,000-square-foot townhouse with custom Leon speakers.
[Ann Arbor, MI] – April 5, 2022 – Thanks to its custom configuration capabilities and creative approach to large-scale projects, Leon Speakers was the manufacturer of choice for celebrity real estate mogul, Ryan Serhant, during a massive three-year renovation of his 8,000-square-foot townhouse. Giving design and performance top consideration, an impressive variety of highly customized speakers handcrafted by Leon was selected to deliver audio to several key areas throughout all six floors of the luxury Brooklyn residence.
Serhant’s love of music set the tone for the project. He wanted audio everywhere and took the selection of the speakers very seriously, according to AV engineer and long-time Leon Speakers representative, Richard Hollander, of AV Design & Integration. The Million Dollar Listing star and CEO and founder of mega brokerage firm SERHANT chose Leon right from the start. “We’re going to do Leon speakers, right?” he asked Hollander as plans for the project unfolded.
The request came as no surprise to Hollander, who had integrated Leon Axis AxV60 in-ceiling speakers into Serhant’s previous residence. This time, however, Serhant was ready to take it up a notch, incorporating Leon’s newest models and customizing them to the hilt. Embodying exceptional style and substance, the wide range of Leon speakers specified by Hollander would bode well for the Serhant project. “Leon is about entertainment, about the visceral experience of music,” Hollander says. “These are emotional experiences that you don’t forget, no matter how old you are. What Leon meant to Ryan was music—bringing it to every room in his home.”
Foundationally, Serhant was looking for three main tech amenities for his family’s new home: a safe and reliable network, an advanced security system, and exceptional audio from top to bottom. Plus, all three elements had to mesh seamlessly with the impressive home design. The audio portion of the smart home formula was handled collaboratively by Leon, AV Design & Integration, and Ash New York, Serhant’s interior design team. Together, they custom-matched Timbre Bookshelf speakers, Tonecase speaker housings, Horizon Ultima soundbars, and FrameBars to the elegant new finishes adorning the eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom home. Extending music outdoors, Terra LuminSound outdoor speakers blend into the lush greenery.
Working from the bottom up, the design and integration team focused first on Leon solutions for the lower level. A built-to-match Horizon Ultima Soundbar complements the media room display with immersive surround-sound, while a FrameBar comprising a white hardwood cabinet and granite grille cloth provides a precise fit and finish with the playroom’s Samsung FrameTV.
Serhant’s home office was another important area to address. Background music delivered by Timbre Bookshelf speakers featuring a rich, black hardwood cabinet and matching grille cloth complement the room’s stately dark finishes. Leon’s extensive collection of hardwood and fabric options also contributed to the seamless speaker integration in the master bedroom and media room. In these two spaces, Tonecase Bars, in black hardwood and gray grille fabric, double as mantles while accommodating Sonos Arc soundbars.
Each floor in Serhant’s new Brooklyn townhouse is a picturesque example of Leon Speakers’ 25 years at the forefront of custom audio craftsmanship and clever, design-forward technology concealment.

Mike Han’s “Detroit Vibrations” painting series, created exclusively for Leon, is part of a new Artist Edition Collection for Leon’s Ente SoundTile, merging art and audio in a way never seen before.
Ann Arbor, MI ̶ As a company with strong roots in the arts, Leon is always looking to support artists both near and far, and when Noah Kaplan, Leon’s founder and president, discovered the work of up-and-coming Detroit artist Mike Han earlier this year, he knew immediately that he wanted to collaborate. Kaplan’s vision was to bring Han’s work to environments such as hotel lobbies, restaurants, cocktail lounges, and corporate reception spaces, and boardrooms, where the design of the space is just as important as the quality of the audio in it.
This collaboration culminated in the creation of a new Leon x Mike Han series titled “Detroit Vibrations”. Consisting of three distinct works of art, the series was created by Han exclusively for Leon. The pieces have been released as Leon’s latest Artist Edition Collection for the Ente SoundTile, a product that combines art and audio in one. In addition to being available for the Ente SoundTile, “Detroit Vibrations” will also be sold as limited-edition art prints on Leon’s website.
“What I love about the vision and mission of Leon at this stage is that we’re really about enabling artists to tell their stories, and we want people to be able to experience those stories in a new and different way,” said Kaplan. “Mike Han’s work has a natural musicality to it and when I saw it for the first time, I knew it would be a perfect fit for our Ente SoundTiles.”
Leon’s Ente SoundTile transforms the stereo system from a speaker into a work of art. Two channels of reference-grade audio and amplifier are concealed behind a perforated metal speaker grille with the artwork screen printed on top. The design of the Ente enables the use of any small form factor amplifier, including Creston’s AMP-X300 amplifier, to power the high-fidelity, 2-channel system to leverage the audio quality for many commercial applications. The SoundTile mounts directly to the wall, appearing more like an art piece than an audio component.
While art for the Ente SoundTiles can be sourced from online art galleries like Rosentiels, Leon also works with artists, like Han, to create exclusive Artist Edition collections for the series. Initially debuting with a selection of iconic fine art photographs from music photographer, Roberto Rabanne, the latest Artist Edition Collection, Mike Han’s three “Detroit Vibrations” pieces, can be arranged as a triptych, diptych, or as standalone pieces.
A Korean-Detroit artist, designer, and self-described “modern vandal,” Han’s work is bold, drawing influence from the work of Keith Haring, classic graffiti from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and Korean calligraphy—but with a contemporary and playful touch. “A lot of my work starts with a character, a small piece, one line that builds upon the next,” said Han. “I don’t predetermine the outcome, but I find it through the process of creation.”

The new partnership provides A/V professionals with a selection of Leon products that are designed, engineered, and pre-validated to complement Logitech video conferencing cameras and all-in-one devices.
Ann Arbor, MI – Continuing to expand its presence in the commercial A/V market, Leon announced today that it has partnered with Logitech as part of the company’s “Logitech Collaboration Program” (LCP). This new partnership between the two companies provides integrators with functional and design-friendly technology solutions for video conferencing spaces and makes specifying a Leon/Logitech solution simple by pre-validating the fit, form, and function.
“We are pleased that Leon has joined our LCP program,” said Sudeep Trivedi, Head of Alliances and Go-to-Market at Logitech. “By collaborating with Leon, we are able to offer customers more choices and flexibility for building well-designed and high-quality meeting experiences.”
Due to the custom nature of its business, Leon has long been able to create custom-tailored solutions for Logitech products, but this new partnership standardizes the offerings, simplifying the specification, ordering, and production process.
Leon’s design and engineering team has officially validated the Logitech Brio, MeetUp, and Rally for use in its Horizon Interactive, Horizon Interactive FIT, and Tonecase FIT Universal products. The team is currently in the process of testing and validating additional Logitech products, including the new Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini.
“We are very excited to partner with Logitech,” said Paul Sabbah, Leon’s International and Commercial Sales Representative. “Leon has been creating Logitech solutions for years, and now as we develop more solutions around their cameras and soundbars, we see great opportunities to co-market and expand our global reach.”
