Invisible speaker specialist Stealth Acoustics has unveiled its LRx85 speaker ahead of its debut at CEDIA 2018 next month.
Stealth’s LRx85 invisible speaker system is a two panel “high-performance” option for distributed audio in home cinemas and presentation spaces that require invisible and high level sound reproduction.
The LRx85 incorporates the manufacturer’s proprietary FidelityGlass technology and UV-protected radiating panels installed to provide spacious sound produced from 40Hz to 18kHz (and a 170-degree hemispherical coverage pattern).
The speaker’s two-panel design is styled to allow for increased power handling, lower octave bass response and reduced intermodulation distortion at outputs of over 103dB.
Its mid-high speaker pack utilises four 30mm high-power neodymium magnet drivers directly coupled for reproducing midrange sounds and a 25mm neodymium high frequency driver, all mounted in Stealth’s Quad-Balanced Midrange configuration. This is intended to create a spatially dispersion that improves the depth of sound stage, while ensuring the left-right panorama for locational sound in home theatres and other multi-channel systems.
A separate invisible bass stage panel engages two 8-in high-power cone woofers to extend bass response down to 40Hz.
The bass stage connects directly to the mid-high packs crossover via dedicated terminals, making the LRx85 simple to wire with a single feed to the amplifier, with 300W of RMS power handling.
An active version, the LRx85-ACT, includes pre-tuned and optimised bi-amplification, for increased sound and higher output.
“We’re now on our 7th generation of the relevant patented technologies and the LRx85 is our latest example of how well our invisibles perform when great sound with no visible speaker presence is desired,” commented Steve Olszewski, VP at Stealth Acoustics.
Stealth Acoustics will exhibit at booth 1727 at CEDIA. This year’s event runs from 6 to 8 September, 2018 at the San Diego Convention Centre in California.
