For home theatre systems, two, three or four of the five speakers can be easily integrated into every living-room environment.</p> <p>Inside each picture frame are two ELAC NXT exciters which produce sound by exciting large surfaces (panels) as membranes with their special transducers. Compared to conventional loudspeakers, the panel speakers are claimed to radiate sound at a wider angle, thus enlarging the optimum listening area. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225/http://www.elac.com/" target="_blank">ELAC Imago picture panels</a> come in two sizes: 50 x 40 cm and 70 x 50 cm.</p> </div>  <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"> <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/go/4142/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> _ga.trackFacebook(); </script> </div> <div class="as_button"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225/http://www.gizmag.com/go/4142/">Tweet</a> </div> <div class="as_button"> <div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/go/4142/"></div> </div> <div class="as_button stumble_as_button"> <iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A//www.gizmag.com/go/4142/" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1" name="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe> </div> <div class="as_button"> <div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/go/4142/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/archive/4142_100605121422.jpg" data-description=""></div> </div> <div class="as_button"> <script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script> </div> <div class="as_button" id="reddit_button_bar"> <script type="text/javascript"> reddit_newwindow='1' </script> </div> </div>   <div id="bottom_unit" data-cb-ad-id="Content Well 2"> <script async src="//web.archive.org/web/20150509120225js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle article-bottom-responsive" style="display:inline-block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1607124478120364" data-ad-slot="6055296962"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div>  <div id="outbrain"> <div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/go/4142/" data-widget-id="AR_1" data-ob-template="Gizmag"></div> <script type="text/javascript" async="async" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225js_/http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrain.js"></script> </div>  <span class="title clear_left" id="author_byline_title">About the Author</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="authorcontainer"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225/http://www.gizmag.com/author/mike-hanlon/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225im_/http://images.gizmag.com/CACHE/images/avatars/16.58a885785e03.jpg" alt="Mike Hanlon" id="bio_pic" name="bio_pic"/> </a> Mike grew up thinking he would become a mathematician, accidentally started motorcycle racing, got a job writing road tests for a motorcycle magazine while at university, and became a writer. As a travelling photojournalist during his early career, his work was published in a dozen languages across 20+ countries. He went on to edit or manage over 50 print publications, with target audiences ranging from pensioners to plumbers, many different sports, many car and motorcycle magazines, with many more in the fields of communication - narrow subject magazines on topics such as advertising, marketing, visual communications, design, presentation and direct marketing. Then came the internet and Mike managed internet projects for Australia's largest multimedia company, Telstra.com.au (Australia's largest Telco), Seek.com.au (Australia's largest employment site), top100.com.au, hitwise.com, and a dozen other internet start-ups before founding Gizmag in 2002. Now he writes and thinks. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150509120225/http://www.gizmag.com/author/mike-hanlon/">All articles by Mike Hanlon</a> <span id="author_byline_links"></span> <br
