Introducing PICS from VIBE

The best soundIt’s not a speaker mounted in a cheap plastic white grill mounted to your wall or tiny tweeter stuck in the

corner of your room. PICS is a studio quality speaker that in appearance looks like a picture.

The best lookingThe grill of the PICS speaker can be a picture of you and your family, a favourite photograph or a print

from your favourite artist.

The best solutionTotally flexible speakers with multiple size options to fit any room, any size, blending perfectly

with your personal taste and the design and décor of the room.

PICS speakers deliver true hi-fi sound quality due to their high quality speakers

mounted in a perfectly measured, finely tuned wooden cabinet as opposed to a

cheap plastic frame used by most in-wall speakers.

ExampleThe customer’s requirement was to create a dual purpose room that can not only be used as the main family room but also a

home theatre room.

The room is set out as a 9.1 home cinema system using a combination of PICS 5566, PICS 555588 and PICS 10 SUB. The

PICS 555588 have been mounted in portrait orientation and the PICS 5566 have been mounted with the woofers at the top to

allow the tweeters on all of the speakers to be on the same plane to give the best possible sonic performance.

The PICS 555 is a centre, front left

and right speaker system. Ideal for

use under plasma/LCD screens. As a

complete front solution. Can be paired

with PICS 8 subwoofer and PICS 5 for

a complete cinema solution.

The most capable speaker in the PICS range,

sonically rich in the full sound spectrum.

Its size is particularly well placed as a focal,

picture, painting or print. Used as front left and

right or front, left, right and centre for both a

visually stunning array of picture speakers and

overwhelming audio performance.

Ideal as a discreet speaker, a rear

channel, surround sound speaker or

for use with

multi-room sound systems.

Exceptional vocal clarity making it ideal

as a centre speaker. Can be paired

with the PICS 8 subwoofer and used

as a large front speaker resulting in

crystal clear midrange and extended

bass reinforcement.

The PICS 555588 offers the truest full range

frequency response of all. Taking depth and

presence to a new level the PICS 555588

delivers realism and power never before heard

outside of a professional auditorium. If you

want to experience home cinema like never

before then the PICS 555588 is the only choice.

The PICS 10 can be used as single subwoofer placed in any wall of the

room or as multiple units for increased bass performance for a more present

cinema experience. With most subwoofers being floor mounted they can

often cause weighted areas in the room. The PICS subwoofer allows direct

firing of the lower frequencies and upper bass frequencies resulting in tighter

more accurate bass aimed into the listening zone. This brand new technology

is a first for home cinema and in-wall/on-wall subwoofers. Powerful bass has

never been delivered to this extent from an in wall system.

Primarily designed to drive the PICS 10 Sub, this mono amplifier is

equally at home amplifying a wide range of passive home cinema

subwoofer options.

• Frequency response: 43-20kHz


• Weight: 31kg

• Inpedance: 6Ω

• Height: 1000mm (39.4”)

• Width: 700mm (27.6”)

• Depth: 139mm (5.5”)

• Mounting Depth: 92mm (3.6”)

• Frequency response: 43~500Hz


• Crossover frequency : 40~150Hz (adjusted)

• Recommended amplifier power: 100W

• Actual amplifier RMS power: 120W

• Impedance: 6Ω

• A single 10” woofer using a shaped cone to combine additional cone surface area and forced

motor cooling. The cabinet measures the same size as the PICS 5566 meaning a pair can

be used to give focal and audio balance to the room.

• The cabinet is over sized and carefully tuned to deliver earth rumbling bass.

• Amplification is provided by an independent monoblock class AB amplifier with frequency

and phasing controls. Alternatively the PICS 10 can be bought on its own and used as a

passive subwoofer allowing it to be driven from the front channels of your amplifier when

partnered with other PICS units.

It’s your choicePICS is about more than just great sound, PICS can be customised with artwork of your choice. Inspirational, abstract, nature, a family photograph almost any image can be printed onto PICS You

can choose from our huge range stock of images, or from our illustration partners.

When purchasing VIBE PICS you receive your standard grills in white or black. After you have purchased your PICS System You can cheaply acquire your own choice of images or own artwork by

logging online to the VIBE PICS website and following the online artwork submission form.

PICS frames are supplied in either a matt white or matt black finish. The frame material is suitable for painting and can therefore be customised to a colour of your choice.

Acoustically transparentEvery PICS image is printed onto our specially developed ‘acoustically

transparent’ PICS cloth.

The process begins with the artwork you supply being printed onto a

transfer paper. The print is then allowed to dry fully. The printed transfer

paper is then fed over a heated roller along with the unique PICS cloth.

As the dyes reach their sublimation temperature, they become gaseous

and the only destination for the reactive gaseous molecules is the fabric

surface.

The result of this is a vibrant, full colour image that does not muffle the

sound from your PICS speaker.
