IS6T
INVISIBLE SERIES COMMERCIAL LOUDSPEAKER
INVISIBLE SERIES
Sonance Invisible Series Commercial
Loudspeakers are the ultimate expression of
architectural audio, delivering uncompromising
aesthetics combined with unequaled sonic
performance.
The IS6T, is a ground-up design, utilizing
completely new technologies that deliver a level
of delity that is unheard of in this category. High
frequencies are achieved with Sonance’s “Motion
Flex Technology”, which consists of a “Wave
Flex Drive Unit” with a bending wave diaphragm,
utilizing a 1.75” (44mm) voicecoil, while the low
frequencies are generated by an “Air Flex” Woofer
with an air pulse diaphragm driven by an 6.5”
(165mm) carbon ber woofer.
The IS6T feature Sonance’s Laminated Core
Technology transformer (SLCT), delivering fulldelity sonic performance in either 70V or 100V
mode.
The IS6T is designed to install ush into a ceiling
or wall and be nished over with up to 1/8” (3mm)
of exible material such as topping compound
venetian plaster, wood veneer or wallpaper, to
provide a completely invisible aesthetic.
Sonance’s proprietary “D.I.S.C. System”, allows
the installer to accurately measure the thickness
of topping material over the diaphragm to ensure
optimum sonic performance is always achieved.
Certication includes UL2043, NFPA90, NFPA70
S7232 and UL1480.

The loudspeaker shall be of the two-way type comprising a
single cabinet that is designed to install ush into a ceiling
or wall and be nished over with up to 1/8” (3mm) of exible
material to provide a completely invisible installation. It shall
feature Motion Flex Technology, consisting of a Wave Flex
Drive Unit with a 20in (127cm) bending wave diaphragm
utilizing a 1.75” (44mm) voicecoil, combined with an Air Flex
Woofer with a 98in (633cm) air pulse diaphragm utilizing
a 6” (165mm) carbon ber woofer. Frequency range shall
be 50Hz – 30KHz (-3dB). Total power handling shall be
100 Watts RMS program. Sensitivity measured with 2.83
volts input at 1 meter on axis averaged between 50Hz –
30KHz shall be 84dB. The unit shall be supplied with a line
matching laminated core transformer suitable for 100 volt or
70 volt with rear-mounted control allowing user selectable
power taps of 30W, 15W, 7.5W and 3.8W (70V) and a 6 Ohm
bypass. Protection shall be provided by two independent,
self-resetting poly switches. It shall provide 170 degrees of
dispersion up to 10kHz. The back can shall be constructed
from metal. The speaker shall be suitable for use in air
handling spaces per UL2043, NFPA90 and NFPA70 S7232
as well as UL1480, UL Rated signaling speaker. Wire shall
be terminated in an enclosed area on the rear of the back
can via a knock-out with internal strain relief. It shall feature
the proprietary Sonance D.I.S.C. System, allowing the
installer to accurately measure the thickness of topping
material over the diaphragm to ensure optimum sonic
performance. External dimensions shall be 16.10” Wide x
16.10” High x 3.86” Depth (409mm x 409mm x 98mm). The
total enclosure shall weigh 18.41 lbs. (8.35 kg) per unit. The
loudspeaker shall be the Sonance Invisible Series IS6T. No
other system shall be acceptable unless the above combined
performance specications are equaled or exceeded.
