Amplifier power is also wasted in the wire, reducing the maximum output level of the system. The sound can be less dynamic, the definition of bass frequencies can be reduced, and in extreme cases, the high frequencies can be attenuated. In simple terms, the extra resistance from the wire will have a very negative effect on the sound quality of the speaker. The speakers are nominally 6 Ohms impedance, so your total wire resistance should be no more than 0.6 Ohms. When using the product in an 8 Ohm (low impedance) system, the total wire resistance should be less than 10% of the speaker impedance. If the amplifier’s power capabilities exceed those of the speakers, damage to the speaker or installed finish may occur if the speaker is overdriven. Select an amplifier with maximum RMS watts per channel at 4 ohms that closely matches or is less than the IS speaker’s rated power handling (see page 16). NOTE: Pay close attention to Sonance IS speaker-rated RMS power handling. Never run more than two Invisible Speakers in parallel on one amplifier channel. Sonance DSP Amplifiers are rated down to 4 Ohms and are stable to 2 Ohms. The IS10W woofer requires a Sonance DSP amplifier in order to ensure high performance, to protect the speaker and installation, and to achieve consistent results. Preconfigured curves for various finish types and thicknesses allow for effortless calibration without the need for additional measurement equipment.

These amps have preloaded curves to optimize the performance of Invisible Series speakers and woofers. Sonance DSP Amplifiers are highly recommended for IS6, IS8, and IS10 full-range speakers. Per-transducer poly fuses integrated into every speaker allow extra protection of each transducer from over-current.Optional sound-isolating enclosure can be used for up to 20dB reduction of sound transferred to adjacent spaces.Embedded depth discs allow the installer to verify the finish material thickness with the optional DG-1 DISC System Depth Gauge (SKU 93491).170-degree hemispherical dispersion (IS6/IS8/IS10) 180-degree hemispherical dispersion (IS10W).Finish-up-to or finish-over with up to 1/8” (3mm) flexible topping compound or finish material.Supply your own shims for thicker substrates. Compatible with 1/2” (12.5mm) & 5/8” (15mm) drywall using included shims.Sonance DSP amplifier presets should be used to maximize the performance of any Invisible Series system. The innovative Sonance DISC System enables nondestructive measurement of the finish thickness for consistent and repeatable installation results.

This line of full-range speakers and woofers incorporate Wave Flex drive units, carbon fiber Air Flex woofers, and acoustically-isolated baffles, allowing for up to 180 degrees of smooth off-axis response. Together these performance and installation improvements redefine what is possible from an invisible speaker. The Sonance Invisible Series speakers featuring Motion Flex Technology offer a suite of advancements in speaker engineering that delivers unparalleled acoustic performance and installation enhancements that allow a wider range of applications with more consistent results.
