About SolidDrive SD-1

Be captivated by the sleek and modern SD-1 Glass Surface Mount Actuator, anodized in a stylish black glass finish. This high-quality product, crafted by the reputable brand Soliddrive, is designed to attach seamlessly to glass and other non-porous surfaces using a double-sided adhesive disk that comes included with the product.

Each SD-1 is engineered for one channel of audio, with an optional equalization module available to optimize its use on glass surfaces. The SolidDrive's unique design employs patent-pending dual-voice coil technology housed in a durable aluminum enclosure. This technology transfers acoustic energy to any substrate with the help of powerful neodymium magnets and dual symmetrically opposed motors.

The SD-1 converts audio signals into potent vibrations, which are then transferred into solid surfaces through direct contact. This process results in high-quality, full-range sound radiating from the entire surface, offering a frequency response of 60 Hz to 15 kHz.

The symmetrically opposed neodymium magnets, coupled with specifically engineered mounting hardware, result in hidden planar-source acoustics. This innovative design ensures acoustical uniformity throughout your listening space, providing an immersive audio experience. Choose the SD-1 Glass Surface Mount Actuator for an easy-to-install, stylish, and powerful audio solution.

SolidDrive SD-1 Features

  • SolidDrive is a patent-pending technol-ogy that utilizes neodymium magnets and dual symmetrically opposed motors to convert audio signals into acoustical energy in a wide variety of substrates.
  • With direct contact to glass, drywall and tabletops, SolidDrive units radiate full-range sound across the entire surface
  • Full-frequency sound can be delivered from 60 Hz - 15 kHz with a max SPL of 88.8 dB and a coverage angle greater than 120 Degree (60 Hz - 3 kHz)
  • Capable of handling 5 - 100 Watts, Solid-Drive units can deliver single to multi-channel audio for home theater, home audio and commercial audio application
  • Patent pending balanced cantilever spring bracket for behind-wall mount-ing allows for a completely hidden speaker system in drywall applications
  • For extended system performance, active and passive subwoofers are available
  • SolidDrives operate in a virtually friction-free environment and are engineered for infinite life
