DeCorp Americas Introduces Flat Speaker Wire

March 2002 -- DeCorp Americas, Inc., the leader in advanced flat wiring and interconnect technologies, has announced the availability of its revolutionary paper-thin FlatWire Ready flat speaker wire technologies and corresponding interconnect products. Today's announcement is expected to dramatically improve the aesthetic appearance and lessen the cost of audio system installation while also marking the availability of the industry's thinnest flat speaker wire. "Historically, traditional exposed speaker wire has created clutter and the in-wall installation process wreaks havoc on walls and ceilings, especially when trying to install a surround sound system," said Robb Sexton, president and CEO of DeCorp Americas. "DeCorp products offer an elegant and technologically superior solution to this common problem. Not only can you virtually hide our wire with paint and wallpaper, but installation also occurs without drilling or invasive installation. As a result, it's considerably less expensive on an installed per-foot basis than the alternative of cutting paths into walls or ceilings and drilling through wall studs."

The newly launched FlatWire Ready speaker wire and interconnect products are designed so that installers can easily connect to existing electronic equipment in a home or business. Moreover, DeCorp allows speakers to be installed gracefully where desired for decorative or functional needs.

The company's flagship product offerings include:

DeWire, a patented, copper-conductor flat speaker wire with ultra-thin, ultra low-oxygen conductors insulated on each side by polyester film, available in the performance FLT series and the DePWR (Precision Wave Response) series.

The high-performance FLT series features a 14 AWG (.006" thinness, 2.27" width) wire at $1.49 per foot and an 18 AWG (.004", 2.27") wire at $.99 per foot. The audiophile-grade DePWR series includes a 12 AWG (.012", 1.797") wire at $4.99 per foot and a 16 AWG (.008", 1.797") wire at $3.49 per foot.

DeConnect, a gold-plated connector, allows for easy connection of DeWire to conventional speakers and audio components. The patent-pending design allows for one of the highest contact surface connections between wire and speakers and audio components on the market today.
