A pendant speaker just became one of the biggest surprises shown at CEDIA Expo 2026. https://tinyurl.com/32jy99k6 In this video, Paul Hales, CEO and product designer at Theory Audio Design, to discuss the company's brand-new p9 9-inch pendant loudspeaker, as well as Theory and Pro Audio Technology's broader approach to loudspeaker design. The p9's combination of bandwidth, clarity, dynamics, imaging, and sheer room-filling capability was nothing like what its slender, unassuming appearance suggests. In fact, two p9s filled a roughly 30-by-30-foot demo room with an enormous, enveloping presentation that repeatedly left listeners questioning which speakers were actually playing. The p9 has been in development for two years and is built around a sophisticated 9-inch coaxial driver featuring Theory's proprietary carbon-fiber sandwich low-frequency diaphragm and Theorem High-Frequency Waveguide profile. Theory rates its low-frequency extension down to 45 Hz, allowing the p9 to operate without a subwoofer in many foreground music applications. Even more impressive is its claimed 120-degree dispersion extending into the highest frequencies, giving the speaker an unusually large coverage area while maintaining detailed, wide-band sound in spaces with both high and low ceilings. Hales says the p9 was engineered to deliver the kind of resolution, accuracy, bandwidth, and dynamics normally associated with substantially larger high-end loudspeakers.
