Goldenear Invisa HTR 8000 In Ceiling Speaker

GoldenEar Invisa HTR 8000 In-Ceiling Speaker

The GoldenEar Invisa HTR (Home Theatre Reference) 8000 is a no-holds-barred ceiling-mounted LCR speaker that shares essential DNA with GoldenEar’s critically acclaimed Triton Reference Towers.

Equally suited to sophisticated home theatres and audiophile music systems, the HTR 8000 is the perfect choice for side or rear surround speakers in 5.1-channel or 7.1-channel systems and makes an ideal height-channel speaker for Dolby Atmos/DTS:X systems.

The HTR 8000’s thoughtful design features a magnetically attached micro-perforated grille that covers all mounting hardware, allowing the speaker to seamlessly blend into most any environment.

GoldenEar’s FocusField™ Technology uses drivers mounted at precisely calculated angles to create palpable, well-focused images across an expansive soundstage. The overall result is a large, open presentation with precise three-dimensional imaging that doesn’t just come from the ceiling but convincingly fills the entire room with realistic sound.

For superior frequency response and remarkable clarity, the HTR 8000 combines GoldenEar’s Reference High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter with an 8″ (203 mm) high-definition, cast-basket bass/midrange driver. In addition, it employs a highly refined crossover network with a high-frequency equalization switch, assuring well-balanced sound in virtually any room.

GoldenEar™ Invisa Series loudspeakers are engineered to deliver superb state-of-the-art sound quality from in-wall speakers that are designed to blend perfectly with their surroundings and virtually disappear. A tremendous amount of work has gone into the acoustical engineering of the Invisa Series speakers in order to deliver the highest sound quality possible in an architectural format.

About GoldenEar

In the summer of 2010, Sandy Gross, co-founder of two of the most successful speaker brands in the history of the audio industry (Polk Audio & Definitive Technology), announced the launch of a new loudspeaker company, GoldenEar Technology.  Why?  “Speaker design is what we’ve done all our lives” says Sandy; “We love it and are really good at it. In almost every case, the creative entrepreneurial founders of the industry’s major loudspeaker companies have left, and their companies are now owned by private equity firms or are part of large conglomerates. We wanted to bring back the combination of entrepreneurial spirit and passion for incredible sound which has always driven this business and helped to create the great speaker companies of the past.”

The GoldenEar Technology line embodies revolutionary engineering breakthroughs, while adhering to the standards of superb sonic performance, elegant styling and exceptional value that Sandy and his design partners have always used as their personal design benchmarks. GoldenEar’s recipe for success is simple: the best products offered only by the best specialty dealers and custom installers – those who share GoldenEar’s enthusiasm for great sound and great value.
