C SEED Unfolding TVs and Retractable Speakers

Design and installation by Frangioni Media | Florida and nationwide

C SEED makes the most extraordinary televisions in the world: 4K MicroLED screens that rise, unfold and disappear, and speakers that come up out of the ground. Frangioni Media offers the full C SEED line, and I design every C SEED room and terrace personally, from the structure and power to the sound, lighting and control, so it works perfectly the first time.

The C SEED products all share one idea: when you aren’t watching, the screen should disappear. The technology is remarkable, but what makes or breaks a C SEED project is everything around it. That means the floor or terrace it sits in, the power and drainage, the sightlines, the sound system and how it ties into the rest of the house. That is the work I do.

The C SEED Line

Key Specifications

From C SEED’s published technical data:

All of these use 4K MicroLED panels. On the M1, C SEED lists a 3,840 Hz refresh rate, 30,000:1 contrast and a 100,000-hour LED lifespan (C SEED M1 technical data). Its Adaptive Gap Calibration keeps the seams between panels invisible.

C SEED Speakers

The C SEED Hyde 125 speakers rise out of the ground at the touch of a button, built on L-Acoustics coaxial technology, with configurations from 2.0 stereo to 9.1 surround and a 110 degree beam to cover large terraces. They retract into protective underground casings, and a flush-mount option lets them disappear into stone, wood, tile or concrete. For yachts, the Supermarine speakers come in 89 cm and 48 cm heights in marine-grade stainless steel. The C SEED Bugatti N1 adds hidden Wisdom Audio planar magnetic speakers that unfold with the screen.

What I Plan Before a C SEED Arrives

• Structure: floor loading and, for the M1, the floor basin. C SEED’s pre-installation guide for one M1 project calls for a floor that supports 1,350 kg and a basin 755 mm deep.
• Power: dedicated 240V service sized to the model, with surge protection.
• Outdoor and drainage: underground casings for speakers, drainage, salt air and wind exposure.
• Sightlines and rotation: the N1 and M1 rotate up to 180 degrees, so we plan seating, the pool and views around that.
• Sound: the built-in 2.1 sound, or a full Dolby Atmos or 9.1 outdoor system with Hyde 125 speakers.
• Control: one command for the whole room. C SEED has announced a collaboration with Crestron, and I program screen, sound, lighting and shades together.

Florida and Nationwide

Florida is home base. We design C SEED rooms and terraces in Miami and Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Jupiter and Naples, and take on C SEED projects for homes, estates and yachts across the United States. See C SEED in Miami and Miami Beach, the C SEED price guide and C SEED outdoors in Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Frangioni Media offer the full C SEED line?

Yes. Frangioni Media offers the C SEED line of unfolding MicroLED televisions and retractable speakers, including the N1, M1, Blade, Vertical, Supermarine and the C SEED Bugatti N1, along with the Hyde 125 and Supermarine speaker systems, and designs and installs them as part of the home.

Do you install C SEED outside Florida?

Yes. Florida is home base, with projects from Miami to Palm Beach and Naples, and we take on C SEED projects for homes, estates and yachts across the United States.

What does a C SEED installation require?

It depends on the model. According to C SEED, the N1 is freestanding and needs no wall mounting or structural support, while the M1 rises from the floor and may need a floor basin. All models need dedicated power, and the outdoor speakers sit in underground casings. We plan structure, power, drainage and signal with the architect and builder.

Can C SEED be used outdoors in Florida?

Yes. C SEED lists the N1 Outdoor at 4,000 nits with an IP65-rated MicroLED surface and wind and temperature sensors. In Florida we also plan for salt air, drainage and storm season.

Can C SEED be controlled by Crestron or Control4?

C SEED has announced a collaboration with Crestron, and we program the TV, speakers, lighting and shades so one command sets the whole room.
