wall speakers

Overview

In-wall and in-ceiling speakers work in the same way as regular speakers, but they use the wall itself as the cabinet. With proper installation, these speakers can sound great and will blend seamlessly into your room's décor. They can even be custom painted to match! Plus, you don't fill up your floor space with speakers. Very popular as rear effects in surround sound systems, and the only way to go for multi-room installations. Come and hear many of these products in operation. Audio Trends recommends: Aaron  Elan   Niles Stealth Acoustics Subsonic

Stealth Acoustics AX3 Invisible Speaker  

Stealth AX3 Invisible In-Wall Speaker Stealth Invisible In-Wall Speaker at Plaster Stage Stealth Invisible In-Wall Speaker at Painting Stage

Description

 

The Stealth Acoustics AX3 is a three-way, full-range loudspeaker system that becomes completely invisible after installation. The loudspeaker has a rigid frame which attaches directly to standard structural framing without the need for special mounting brackets. The paintable active diaphragm face is a structurally modified three layer composite consisting of two layers of graphics grade paper with a foam core. The diaphragm is bonded to the frame, creating an active area surrounded by a stable mounting area. Basic installation instructions are shown on our removable cover sheet that comes off before taping and finishing begins. The face of the panel has been pre-primed and is ready to receive finishing materials. The edges of the panel are tapered similar to the edges of gypsum wallboard, providing the room necessary for normal wallboard tape and joint compound to be used to feather the speaker seamlessly into the wall or ceiling. The AX3 loudspeaker comes equipped to match either 1/2” or 5/8” wallboard installations. On-site finishing options include latex paint, covering with light wallpaper, fabrics and selected texture coats. There is no need for special vellums or other nonstandard wallboard finishing materials.

Stealth Acoustics speaker invisibility allows for powerful advantages over other loudspeakers as they can be placed wherever they sound best, free of visual concerns that may conflict with architectural features. Stealth Acoustics offers complete, invisible companion subwoofer solutions for extended low frequency response.

Description

 

The Stealth Acoustics FX8 is a full range in-wall speaker system that will not compete with the architectural elements of your living space. The audio performance of the FX8 is comparable to conventional in-wall speakers in the price range. The fact that it becomes completely invisible when installed is a bonus. Whether it's background music for your living room or a 5.1 surround sound system for your family room, the FX8 is up to the task. So go ahead, put speakers where ever you want sound. Experience the freedom of invisibility.

The Stealth FX8 is a two-way system, incorporating an acoustically coupled high quality, high-power 8" cone woofer and a directly coupled 25mm neo-magnet high-frequency motor. Advanced internal carbon fiber materials allow for smooth frequency extension to 20kHz, even with four coats of paint. As with all Stealth speakers, the beefy crossover system is over provisioned to take abuse and is equipped with self-resetting poly switches to protect the drivers well below their rated power handling. To further ensure consistent quality, we test each Stealth speaker with computer analysis and a listening test before they are released for shipment.

Stealth Acoustics B1630 Invisible Subwoofer  

Stealth B1630 In-Wall Subwoofer Stealth Invisible In-Wall Speaker at Plaster Stage Stealth Invisible In-Wall Speaker at Painting Stage

Description

 

The Stealth Acoustics B1630 in-wall subwoofer panel is a unique solution for putting subwoofer powered low end into a living space invisibly. The B1630 is a panel 16" by 30" that mounts directly to the structural framing of the wall replacing the drywall. The panel has an active area that moves and is surrounded by a solid mounting frame. The subwoofer panel is secured to the mounting frame, and the drywall is bonded to the panel to create a seamless transition. Similar in construction to the Stealth 228 Series 2 full range system, the B1630 has a surface on the face of the panel that is designed to be painted with latex based products. Light texture or wallpaper can also be applied.

  The B1630 uses (2) 8" woofers mounted on a baffle built from 1" thick MDF. This acts as the backbone of the system. The baffle is bonded to one side of the mounting frame with the active panel mounted to the opposite side. This creates an air tight chamber. The woofers fire into this chamber activating the entire face of the panel with the exception of the 1-3/4" mounting border. The mounting area is identified by a dashed line printed on the face of the panel. The active panel is constructed of a three layer combination of materials consisting of two layers of a high quality paper separated by a layer of Styrofoam. This creates a panel that is very light weight yet rigid enough to maintain the integrity of the wall. When used in conjunction with 5/8" drywall, the B1630 can be installed in framing openings as narrow as 9-1/2" between studs or ceiling joists. Minimum depth is 3-1/2".

  Since it installs like a piece of wall board, finishing is left to the professional drywall tradesman. The A/V integrator need not pick up a trowel. The basic installation notes are printed on the face of every panel and a step by step photo installation guide is shipped with every pair of speakers.
