Stealth Acoustics Introduces Model STX8: True Dual-Channel Flat Panel Invisible Loudspeaker for Music Playback
Mount Vernon, WA – Stealth Acoustics announced the forthcoming availability of its new model STX8 dual-channel invisible speaker for home or commercial background and foreground music applications.
The Stealth model STX8 is a full-range stereo speaker system utilizing a flat-front panel that fits into a standard 3.5" deep stud wall and attaches directly to standard structural framing without the need for special mounting brackets. The paintable, active diaphragm radiating speaker surface is energized by 2 discreet neodymium high-frequency motors coupled to carbon fiber plates and by a dual voice coil woofer. The STX8 flat-front panel face mates with ½" or 5/8" wallboard and is suitable for receiving most standard wall or ceiling finishes including latex paint, light texture or wallpaper, becoming completely invisible after finishing.
"Our dealers and customers asked for a stereo invisible speaker for locations like lobbies, hallways, bathrooms or other areas where quality stereo sound was a requirement, but space and cost limitations may have prevented installing two speakers" said Paul Hagman, president of Stealth Acoustics. "We've taken the best of our proven technologies of direct coupled high-frequency motors and acoustic lever bass transmission and incorporated them into a unique, high-quality, dual-channel flat panel invisible speaker".
The STX8's provides two fully isolated audio channels and utilizes individual heavy-duty crossovers and protection circuits for each channel. The high-power dual voice coil 8" woofer delivers low frequency response down to 45Hz, when properly loaded into a standard stud wall and high frequency extension to 20kHz.
The Stealth model STX8 will be available through Stealth's network of system integrators and value added resellers. Product availability is anticipated to be by the end of October 2007. Manufacturers suggested MAP is $550.00. Stealth Acoustics will be previewing the STX8 in Booth #134 at CEDIA EXPO in Denver September 6-9.
