Turning
solid surfaces into speakers
Induction
Dynamics™ SolidDrive™ produces sound
from solid surfaces by utilising a compound called
Terfenol-D, a combination of rare-earth and highly
magnetic elements. Invented by the U.S. Navy 20
years ago, Terfenol-D was created to power the
next generation of high-powered sonar equipment.
Recent declassification of Terfenol-D brings its
possibilities out of the water and into the audio
world with the introduction of Induction Dynamics™
SolidDrive™
How does the Induction Dynamics™ SolidDrive™
work?
Induction Dynamics™ SolidDrive™
expands and contracts in a magnetised environment
up to 20,000 times per second. This allows the
SolidDrive™ to convert an audio signal into
a powerful vibration that can be transferred into
a solid material, evenly delivering sound from
the entire surface.
Surfaces the SolidDrive™ work with include:
glass, drywall, granite, wood, laminate wood.
Because the SolidDrive™ utilises materials
already existing in a room, it's ideal for installed
home, commercial audio or a home theatre sound
system.
Deliver sound to any room with no visible speakers
or wiring
Induction Dynamics™ SolidDrive™
installs directly behind walls for a truly inside-wall
speaker - turning the entire wall into a sound
source. Sound is generated from these large acoustic-radiating
surfaces and the listener becomes immersed in
sound. The sound is omni directional at nearly
all frequencies while channel separation is maintained.
Highly efficient, compact and reliable
Efficiency is very import for inside-wall applications
due to potential heat build up. The highly efficient
SolidDrive™ answers this need with its ability
to generate sound from an entire flat surface
with very little power. In fact, the SolidDrive™
can generate sound from solid surfaces by utilizing
only 5 to 15 watts.
The SolidDrive™ is compact and powerful
allowing it to be used in new applications. Unlike
conventional voice coil drives where panel flexibility
is important, the SolidDrive™ excels when
used in conjunction with rigid and semi-rigid
surfaces. Traditional limitations such as placement,
panel size and flexibility are no longer constraints.
The SolidDrive™ has no moving coils, cones
or surrounds. This makes the SolidDrive™
extremely reliable to withstand abusive environments
and maintain a long service life.
