Experience Audio Perfection

SolidDrive SD1 is a cutting-edge, innovative, power-
ful sound transducer that transmits acoustical energy
through almost any solid surface. The entire surface
with which SolidDrive comes in contact becomes
a speaker, delivering high-quality sound and the
frequency response of conventional diaphragm
speakers.
SolidDrive works with rigid surfaces including glass,
drywall, wood, ceramics, laminates, composites and
metal. Because SolidDrive utilizes existing structures
in the room, it is ideal for residential and com-
mercial applications. Experience sound in ways you
never thought possible.

SolidDrive utilizes patent-pending technology
with very high-powered neodymium magnets and
dual symmetrically opposed motors to convert
audio signals into powerful vibrations. Those
vibrations are transferred into solid surfaces
through direct contact. High-quality, full-range
sound is then radiated from the entire surface with
a frequency response of 60 Hz to 15 kHz.
SolidDrive delivers excellent sound to problem
areas, transforming walls, ceilings, floors, win-
dows, mirrors, counter tops, conference room
tables and other furniture into high-quality sound
sources. Sound generated from a large surface
area immerses the listener in omni directional
sound, producing a stunning and impressive
experience.

The SolidDrive mounts “in-wall” and “in-ceiling”
by attaching directly to the drywall with a patent-
pending balanced cantilever spring bracket. The
bracket spans the studs, providing strength, stability
and vibration-free operation.
SolidDrive delivers sound to problem areas trans-
forming walls, ceilings, floors, windows, mirrors,
counter tops, conference room tables and other
furniture into high-quality sound sources. Perfect for
homes, retail stores, restaurants or anywhere audio is
wanted but without visible speakers.

The surface material plays a key role in the system’s
sound quality. To ensure an optimal listening experi-
ence, the SolidDrive SD1 system is equalized with
the SolidDrive Passive Equalization Module. One EQ
module is used with each SolidDrive. EQ Modules
are available for drywall, wood and glass surfaces.

A truly hidden speaker, SolidDrive installs directly behind
walls, in ceilings, under floors and on most all other solid
surfaces. The unit turns an entire structure’s surface into
a high-quality sound source while remaining completely
hidden from view.

Efficiency is very important for inside-wall applications
due to potential heat build up. The highly efficient
SolidDrive answers this need with its ability to generate
sound from an entire flat surface with very little power.
In fact, SolidDrive can generate sound from solid
surfaces by utilizing only 5 to 20 watts. SolidDrive is
thermally protected, so can also be used in high-output
applications with power levels up to 100 watts.
The SD1 operates in a virtually friction-free environment
with no parts that will wear or require lubrication. Parts
subject to fatigue are fabricated from high strength materials
and engineered for infinite life. SolidDrive carries a 7-year
warranty.
