Sonance IS8 Two Way Invisible Speaker: PAIR

Sonance's IS8 invisible speakers are perfect for large residential spaces such as entryways, living rooms or multipurpose rooms. These speaker are the pinnacle of the Sonance "Designed to Disappear" strategy. The all new Motion Flex Invisible Series incorporates breakthroughs in installation and audio quality and firmly places 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 fibre glass 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° of horizontal and vertical dispersion.

Sonance has revolutionized the invisible speaker category beyond just performance and design by redefining how invisible speakers are installed and standardised with the Sonance Depth Identification Sensing Calibration (DISC) System.

This invisible speaker comes complete with supporting installation accessories such as 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.

Do not use standard pink multi finish plaster. Using the incorrect finishing plaster will adversely affect the audio performance and will invalidate the warranty.
