MOTION FLEX DEFINED
The new Sonance Invisible Series, featuring Motion Flex Technology, offers a suite of
advancements in invisible speaker engineering that together delivers unparalleled acoustic
performance and redenes what is possible from an invisible speaker.
WAVE FLEX DRIVE UNIT
This high-bandwidth midrange and high-frequency transducer drive unit propagates sound via a bending-wave
principle, delivering velvety-smooth mids and crystal-clear highs while enabling a lower crossover point to
facilitate high delity listening.
AIR FLEX WOOFER
By coupling a glass-ber woofer to our acoustically inert diaphragm via a pocket of air, the active diaphragm area
moves like a piston. The result is robust and powerful bass that dees expectations and delivers unsurpassed
sonic quality.
ACOUSTICALLY ISOLATED BAFFLE
The diaphragm is split into two active areas that are completely isolated. This prevents the bending motion of the
Wave Flex Drive Unit from interfering with the pistonic motion of the Air Flex Woofer, enabling ultra-low
distortion and a level of sonic transparency not previously possible in invisible speakers.
CONSTANT DIRECTIVITY CROSSOVER (CDX)
Sonance’s proprietary CDX crossover provides uniquely smooth off-axis frequency response, resulting in greater
delity and coverage for each speaker. In the all new Invisible lineup, the CDX crossover allows for almost 180° of
horizontal and vertical dispersion.

INSTALLATION
Sonance has revolutionized the invisible speaker category beyond just performance and design with innovative
construction-friendly and reliable installation technology.
INSTALLATION ADVANTAGES.
• Sonance DISC System to standardize thickness of topping compound on the job site
with precision to achieve consistent performance from every speaker and subwoofer
SONANCE DEPTH IDENTIFICATION SENSING CALIBRATION (DISC) SYSTEM
The Sonance DISC System works by using a high-accuracy depth gauge and embedded locator discs to
measure the thickness of a nish applied over the surface of a Sonance Invisible Speaker. This allows for
a consistent nish and performance within specications every time.
• Includes models compatible with 12” on-center stud and joist spacing
• Every model in the line can be installed as nish-up-to or nish-over
• Optional installation accessories: pre-construction brackets, space savers, and
noise-isolating enclosure

INVISIBLE SERIES SPEAKERS
New Sonance Invisible Series speakers offer enhancements that cannot be seen but can denitely be heard. Much attention and
detail went into every aspect of performance and installation, to deliver crisp detailed audio playback that rivals, and in many cases,
surpasses traditional architectural speaker performance.
