Solid Drive SD1SM Overview

The titanium SD1SM SolidDrive Sound Transducer for Wood / Porous installation from SoundTube Entertainment utilizes dual-voice coil technology in an aluminum enclosure to transfer acoustic energy to any substrate. Symmetrically opposed neodymium magnets and specifically engineered mounting hardware results in hidden planar-source acoustics. The result is acoustical uniformity throughout the listening space.
This sound transducer is designed for mounting on wood or porous surfaces, and comes with a direct-Screw aluminum mounting base and a direct screw aluminum mounting base and an attached wiring harness with EuroStyle connector.
The SD1SM Sound Transducer is suitable for use at restaurants, mall stores, auto dealerships, department stores, stadium sky boxes, reception areas, and glass atriums.

Note:
To ensure optimal listening experience, the installer must equalize the SolidDrive SD1 System. Equalization is accomplished by using the SolidDrive Wood Passive Equalization Module (sold separately).
Dual-voice coil technology in a durable, aluminum enclosure delivering high power handling and sensitivity across multiple substrates
Symmetrically opposed neodymium magnets convert audio signals into acoustical energy for any rigid surface including wood or porous
Note:
This transducer is designed for wood or porous installation only
Hidden planar-source audio technology evenly distributes acoustic energy throughout the listening space
Behind-surface mounting technology ensures maximum visual appeal
SolidDrive Wood Passive Equalization Module (sold separately) increases the transducer's sound performance for optimal listening enjoyment by using notch filters to correct peaks in the frequency response
For extended frequency response, couple this SolidDrive unit with SW7 or SW8 subwoofers (sold separately)
CE, UL 1480 & 2043, and RoHS compliant

question

do the speakers get glued to drywall?
Asked by: Anonymous
This sound transducer is designed for mounting on drywall surfaces, and comes with a direct screw aluminum mounting base and an attached wiring harness with EuroStyle connector. This transducer can be installed in-wall and in-ceiling, and patent-pending acoustic in-wall mounting brackets are needed for installation (sold separately).
