About SolidDrive SD-1

What sets the SolidDrive SD-1 Wood Surface Mount Actuator apart is its innovative design and high-quality construction. Finished in anodized black, this durable and stylish device is specifically designed for wood surfaces, seamlessly attaching with the included wood screws for a sleek, modern look.

Each SD-1 Surface Mount Actuator is engineered for a single channel of audio, ensuring reliable and high-quality sound. The device features an optional equalization module that optimizes its performance when used on wood surfaces, enhancing your audio experience.

The SolidDrive SD-1 stands out with its patent-pending dual-voice coil technology housed in a robust aluminum enclosure. This innovative technology harnesses the power of high-powered neodymium magnets and dual symmetrically opposed motors to convert audio signals into potent vibrations. These vibrations are then transferred directly into solid surfaces, transforming them into large, flat speakers.

The result is a full-range, high-quality sound radiated from the entire surface, with a frequency response of 60 Hz to 15 kHz. The symmetrically opposed neodymium magnets, coupled with the specially engineered mounting hardware, create hidden planar-source acoustics. This leads to acoustical uniformity throughout your listening space, providing a unique and immersive audio experience.

In essence, the SolidDrive SD-1 Wood Surface Mount Actuator is a testament to the brand's commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality, and innovative audio solutions.
