On the James Loudspeaker side, the new AT Outdoor Towers definitely do not shy away from visibility, and have been designed to deliver “concert-level performance outdoors,” the company states. James’ AT Outdoor Towers in 2 Sizes, 10 Standard Finishes The discs respond to a handheld Sonance depth gauge that will read the surface depth applied on top of the four disc locations, ensuring a consistent finish and speaker performance, the company explains. The DISC System employs four steel discs embedded behind the speaker diaphragm as indexes for measuring the amount of finishing material applied over the speaker’s surface. Speaking of installation and placement, Sonance also developed the Depth Identification Sensing Calibrator System (DISC System) to help installers create a consistent surface finish thickness across every speaker, on every project. “I have 100% confidence that if these were put behind a screen and you had no idea what was playing, in a million years you would not guess this was an invisible speaker product.” “In the end, we’re using visible speakers, like VP Series, as a competitive benchmark for this product,” Ryan says. Meanwhile, an ultra-low crossover, which Sonance calls “Constant Directivity Crossover, or CDX,” offers nearly 180-degree horizontal and vertical dispersion, and smooth off-axis frequency response for consistent tonality from every listening position, according to the company. An acoustically isolating baffle is said to prevent the bending motion of the Wave Flex Drive Unit from interfering with the Air Flex Woofer. The wide bandwidth Wave Flex Drive Unit acts as a high-bandwidth midrange and high-frequency transducer, all-in-one, Sonace explains.Īdditionally, the carbon-fiber Air Flex Woofer couples to a chamber of air behind the speaker diaphragm to create a piston-like movement for robust and powerful bass.
The resulting Sonance Invisible Series speakers and subwoofers (there are six models) feature Sonance Motion Flex Technology, which combines all-new transducer, crossover and motion tech, the company notes. IS enclosures provide an impressive broadband noise reduction of 20dB which greatly reduces sound transference into adjacent spaces.Related: Sonance Patio Series Provides Integrators with Small-Scale Outdoor System.Invisible series sound isolating Enclosures According to the manufacturer, the new Sonance Invisible installation loudspeakers are the most perfect expression of what hidden in-wall.
