Sonance IS8 Two Way Invisible Speaker: EACH

The Sonance IS8 speakers are ideal for large residential spaces such as entryways, living rooms, or multipurpose rooms. Invisible Speakers are the pinnacle of the Sonance "Designed to Disappear" strategy. All new Motion Flex Invisible Series incorporates new breakthroughs in installation and audio quality, and firmly entrenches Sonance as the unrivalled leader in discreet performance audio.

The Sonance Air Flex Drive Unit is a high bandwidth midrange and high frequency transducer combination that leverage the bending wave principle to deliver exceptionally smooth mid and crystal clear highs. The Air Flex Woofer couples a glass fibre woofer to an acoustically inert diaphragm, trapping a pocket of air that can be pushed without loss to deliver robust and powerful bass.

Sonance Motion Flex Technology is a revolutionary approach to designing flat panelled invisible speakers, featuring a Wave Flex Drive Unit, an Air Flex Woofer, an Acoustically Isolated Baffle and a Constant Directivity Crossover.

Sonance Constant Directivity Crossover (CDX) provides smooth off-axis frequency response, resulting in nearly 180 degrees of horizontal and vertical dispersion.

Sonance has revolutionised the invisible speaker category beyond just performance and design. Sonance has redefined how invisible speakers are installed and standardised with the Sonance Depth Identification Sensing Calibration (DISC) System. This Series offers supporting installation accessories like pre construction brackets, space savers, and noise isolating enclosures. These installation accessories ensure a simple step by step process throughout the construction phase to reserve speaker placement and ensure a flawless finish.

Please Note: Important: Sonance Invisible Series speakers must only be skimmed with an appropriate lightweight flexible compound such as British Gypsum's Easi-Fill. Standard pink Multi-Finish plaster must not be used.

Using the incorrect finishing plaster will adversely affect the audio performance and will invalidate the warranty.

Specifications

Features

Motion Flex Technology

• Motion Flex Technology offers a suite of advancements in invisible speaker engineering
• Delivers unparalleled acoustic performance and redefines what is possible from an invisible speaker

Wave Flex Drive Unit

• High bandwidth midrange and high frequency transducer drive unit
• Propagates sound via a bending wave principle (think of a pebble landing in a pond)
• Delivers velvety smooth mids and crystal clear highs
• Enables a lower crossover point to facilitate high fidelity listening

Air Flex Woofer

• Moves sound waves up and down like a piston
• Resulting in robust and powerful bass that defies expectations
• Delivers unsurpassed sonic quality

Acoustically Isolated Baffle

• The diaphragm is split into two active areas which are isolated from each other
• Prevents the bending motion of the Wave Flex Drive Unit from interfering with the piston motion of the Air Flex Woofer
• Enabling ultra low distortion and a level of sonic transparency not previously possible in invisible speakers

Constant Directivity Crossover (CDX)

• Provides uniquely smooth off axis frequency response
• Resulting in greater fidelity and coverage for each speaker
• CDX crossover allows for almost 180° of horizontal and vertical dispersion
