Unseen speakers are made possible by high-powered, vibrational-element flat panels.
08.08.2008 — Acoustic Ceiling Products (ACP) has introduced its Onsia flat-panel speaker system that is completely invisible after installation.
The unseen speakers are made possible by high-powered, vibrational-element flat panels that produce HD sound without grates, grills or covers.
The speaker panels, using patented NXT transducer technology, produce sound waves through the electronic excitement of a flat panel, creating hundreds of simultaneous nonlinear vibrations instead of the traditional single-band pulses from conventional cone diaphragms.
The company claims this technology offers improved dispersion characteristics over conventional speakers.
The line of Onsia speakers comes in three models: In-Wall, In-Ceiling and In-Frame.
The In-Wall concealed flat-panel speaker blends invisibly into any drywall surface, turning the entire wall into a sound source.
The In-Ceiling concealed flat-panel speaker is designed to look like an acoustical ceiling tile and provides easy installation into any standard ceiling grid system. No special brackets or unusual installation is required. The system is ideal for a finished basement, office or commercial space.
The In-Frame concealed flat-panel speaker transforms artwork into an audio and decorating solution. It allows the art, not the speaker, to become the focal point in any room.
A commercial line of the Onsia flat panel speaker system is also available.
