At InfoComm 2022, Leon Speakers inspires the commercial audio industry to rethink the design of corporate videoconferencing and audio systems with innovative solutions that blend performance with modern style.
[Ann Arbor, MI] – June 1, 2022 – Looking to inspire commercial AV integrators to push the boundaries of creativity when integrating audio systems into corporate environments, Leon showcases at InfoComm 2022 several products exhibiting a unique blend of art, design, and audio technology. Able to be customized with a range of creative finish and color options, Leon’s design-forward commercial audio line provides AV integrators with innovative solutions that look as good as they perform.
Tonecase FIT Universal for Bose and Logitech Videoconferencing Systems
Through strategic partnerships with leading providers of commercial videoconferencing systems, including Bose and Logitech, Leon Speakers offers the TcFIT-U, a line of pre-configured, turnkey solutions that mount and seamlessly blend teleconferencing equipment directly to the display. For commercial AV integrators, this preconfigured offering simplifies the specification, ordering, and production process for corporate applications.
Validated to function optimally within Leon’s Tonecase FIT Universal (TcFIT-U) housing, the Bose VB1, any small format Logitech camera or all-in-one camera, along with a whole host of other videoconferencing equipment, mounts easily into the TcFIT-U and is covered with a custom grille that matches the exact width of the display and includes a cut-out for the videoconferencing camera. The fit, form, and function of these pre-configured systems have been tested by Leon under rigorous standards to ensure that they integrate and operate seamlessly together.
Leon Speakers Horizon Interactive FIT for Conference Room AV Systems
Ideally suited for corporate boardrooms, conference rooms, and office spaces that require audio and videoconferencing, Leon’s Horizon Interactive FIT (HIFIT) provides high-fidelity audio in addition to functional storage space for all the necessary components, such as webcams, mini-PCs, and more, in one beautiful package. Two channels of Leon speakers are built into the unit, which is outfitted with a custom grille handcrafted to match the width of any display. Mounted below the display, the Horizon Interactive FIT creates a unified design aesthetic.
The HIFIT features two (2) 4″ woofers and two (2) 28mm tweeters which flank an internal storage area. Fully customizable, HIFIT is only 2.75” deep and available in two models: HIFIT44UX to accommodate TVs up to 65” diagonal and HIFIT44UX-OS for screens up to 90” diagonal.
The New Leon Terra LuminSound Bollard Outdoor Speakers Stands Tall at 32 Inches
Building off the popularity of its newly designed Terra LuminSound outdoor speaker line, Leon introduces a new, taller model to the portfolio. 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 commercial outdoor space.
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 climates. The commercial-grade lighting 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.
Leon Launches Cove by Leon, a Modern Desktop Solution for Work, Home, or Anything in Between
You can look, sound, and feel your best with Cove by Leon. This multi-functional desktop solution designed to improve both the aesthetics and the functionality of the remote workspace conceals any monitor, laptop, or tablet, integrates backlighting, and uses top-of-the-line tech and materials to enhance your audiovisual experience and create your own private virtual studio space.
Cove embodies a variety of customizable options, including a powder-coated bent steel partition, engineered-wood shelf cut and finished in Leon’s own workshop, and sound-dampening, antimicrobial TURF recycled felt lining the interior to help block out audible distractions, even in noisy environments.
The Cove’s back panel diffuses remote-adjustable LED backlighting while neatly concealing the device’s electrical components. Its unique bias lighting, developed in collaboration with American Lighting, alleviates the undue eye strain associated with screen use while providing a flattering natural-looking light for webcam conferencing. A channel on the Cove’s underside allows for discreet wire management. Leon is partnering with Logitech and Shure to create product packages that include high-performance webcam and microphone technology for simple and seamless video conferencing.
Leon Adds New Custom Grille Options Bringing a Designer Touch to its Conference Room Technology Solutions
From Leon’s Tonecase FIT Universal to its Horizon Interactive FIT, its line of FIT solutions offers simple and seamless ways to mount videoconferencing equipment directly to a TV and conceal it behind a built-to-match grille designed with a custom cutout for the video camera to peek through. At InfoComm 2022, Leon introduces several new grille fabric options specifically to support these commercial products. The FIT line of products creates a unified technology package that befits the modern, contemporary aesthetic of boardrooms, conference rooms, executive offices, and more.
Leon Ente SoundTiles Brings Art and Audio to High Design Reception and Hospitality Spaces
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 to bring Han’s work to Leon’s audience.
The Leon x Mike Han collaboration is a series of three paintings titled “Detroit Vibrations” that was created by Han exclusively for Leon. The pieces are being released as Leon’s latest Artist Edition Collection for the Ente SoundTile, a product that transforms the stereo system into unique pieces of wall art to seamlessly blend design and technology in reception areas, hospitality spaces, corporate boardrooms, executive offices, and more. Each Ente SoundTile conceals two channels of reference-grade audio and an amplifier, such as Crestron’s AMP-X300 amp, behind a perforated metal speaker grille with selected artwork screen-printed on top. Other Artist Edition Ente SoundTile collections will also be showcased at InfoComm 2022.

Designed to mount any Sonos soundbar to the TV—including the new Sonos Arc, Leon’s new TcFIT-U makes Sonos integration easier and more design-friendly than ever before.
[Ann Arbor, MI] – May 14, 2020 – Expanding on their popular Tonecase line of technology concealment products, Leon announced today the introduction of a new model to the line, the patent-pending TcFIT-U, a universal mounting solution that mounts any Sonos® soundbar to the TV, including the new Sonos Arc®. The TcFIT-U system includes a signature Leon custom grille built to match the exact width of the TV, blending the soundbar with the display for a streamlined look.
“Building on the success of our TcFIT, we wanted to provide our dealers with a design solution that could add style to any Sonos soundbar,” said Noah Kaplan, Leon’s Founder & President. “It has always been our vision to blend design with technology, and our new TcFIT-U expands that vision beyond just the Playbar to include the whole Sonos soundbar family.”
Developed with versatility in mind, the Tonecase FIT Universal comes in 3 models that offer adjustable depth to accommodate any Sonos soundbar, including the Beam, Playbar, and Arc. It mounts directly to any TV up to 98” diagonal using one of Leon’s undermount brackets, and the entire unit is covered with a custom-width fabric grille that comes standard in black with the option to upgrade to a collection of designer grille fabrics. TcFIT-U can be integrated into Leon’s Edge Media Frame, a product that encases a TV and soundbar with a contemporary frame that is available in a selection of wood and metallic finishes. In addition to Sonos soundbars, the TcFIT-U can also house a variety of soundbars from other manufacturers as well.
Tonecase FIT Universal will begin shipping to Leon’s network of dealers in July. The product will eventually replace Leon’s current Tonecase FIT models as the Sonos Playbar® is phased out.

Ann Arbor, MI – (August 20, 2018) – Continuing to lead the conversation on the importance of blending design with technology, Leon Speakers will be introducing a new suite of products at the 2018 CEDIA Expo (booth #5401) that do just that. Partnering with some of the biggest brands in the industry, Leon’s new innovations were designed to pair perfectly with some of today’s most popular AV products, giving integrators new and creative possibilities to bring to their clients.
Leon’s entire booth will have a strong focus on design—from the products themselves to the custom artwork on the walls to their decked-out 1967 Airstream. They’re looking to expand their vision of “mixing art with audio and design with technology” beyond just their own product line, bringing streamlined design solutions to other industry manufacturers’ products. “This year for CEDIA, we decided to dive in for radical transformation of modern audio. We’ve been working closely with our industry partners to provide highly artistic pieces that will redefine American home audio,” said Noah Kaplan, Leon’s President & Founder.
Among the new products being shown is a collection of Sound Sculptures that was developed after their Lena Sound Sculpture (shown above) won a prestigious BORN Award this past Spring. This new Sound Sculpture line will be production-ready, offering a variety of standard sizes, designs, and pricing. Leon will also be debuting Terra’s portfolio of outdoor speakers (below) in their booth for the first time following their acquisition of the company earlier this year. The merger dramatically expands Leon’s outdoor capabilities, adding over a dozen all-climate, IP67-rated speakers, subwoofers, and outdoor sound & lighting solutions to their current product offering.
Also on display will be speakers from Leon’s UX, ULTIMA, and SEVEN product families, their popular line of Tonecase products for Sonos, and their high-end TV concealment solutions by Media Décor, a Leon company.
Visit Leon at the 2018 CEDIA Expo, booth #5401.
