About SolidDrive SD-1

Be captivated by the immersive audio experience delivered by the SolidDrive SD-1 Wood Surface Mount Actuator, finished in anodized black. This innovative device is expertly designed to attach to wood and similar surfaces using the included wood screws, transforming each surface into a unique audio channel.

The SD-1 Surface Mount Actuator is equipped with an optional equalization module, specifically designed to optimize its performance on wood surfaces. This feature ensures that the audio output is tailored to the specific acoustics of the wood, enhancing the overall sound quality.

At the heart of the SolidDrive SD-1 is a patent-pending dual-voice coil technology housed in a robust aluminum enclosure. This advanced technology, combined with high-powered neodymium magnets and dual symmetrically opposed motors, converts audio signals into powerful vibrations. These vibrations are then transferred directly into solid surfaces, creating a unique sound propagation method.

The SD-1 Surface Mount Actuator is capable of radiating high-quality, full-range sound from the entire surface it's attached to. With a frequency response of 60 Hz to 15 kHz, it ensures that you enjoy every note in its full richness and depth.

The strategic use of symmetrically opposed neodymium magnets and specifically engineered mounting hardware results in hidden planar-source acoustics. This innovative design approach ensures acoustical uniformity throughout the listening space, providing you with an unparalleled audio experience.

In essence, the SolidDrive SD-1 Wood Surface Mount Actuator in Chrome is not just a device, but a revolution in sound technology, transforming ordinary surfaces into extraordinary sound systems.

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
