Triad PDX offers an exceptional solution for a seamless installation. Each speaker can be installed at once with zero tools, or you can remove the speaker and install the cradle with its optional backbox and grille, which allows you to return and place the speaker post-construction. All of this is done without compromising the industry-leading sound and build quality for which Triad is known.

The high fiber count woven Carbon Fiber woofer’s strength and responsiveness ensures stunning linear tonal balance, while the cone’s PVA coating dampens resonance for higher sonic purity. A high excursion 1-1/4″ voice coil allows increased motor stamina, heat reduction, improved power handling, and superior bass performance.

Everything about Triad PDX centers around the purest sound quality possible. The 1″ pivoting Teteron dome tweeter with oversized surround increases the piston area to deliver higher sensitivity and smoother frequency response by reducing motion interference. Woofer vibration is eliminated by mounting the tweeter in a mechanically inert die-cast tweeter bridge – which can also be used as an installation handle for a safe and seamless install.

Triad PDX speakers use top-shelf crossover components and are tuned like all other Triad speakers to give them their coveted Triad sound. They can even seamlessly integrate with other Triad speakers due to their Timbre matching, allowing you to mix and match speakers within the series to meet the needs of each room while providing identical tonal qualities throughout the home.

Not all job sites are secure during the construction phase, leaving components left onsite susceptible to theft. With the Triad PDX 2-piece baffle/speaker module assembly, you can remove the speaker module for safe storage offsite until the site is secure while the Frame/HVAC cover and grille remain installed.
