Goldenear Invisa 850 In Ceiling Speaker

GoldenEar Invisa 850 In-Ceiling Speaker

The Goldenear Invisa 850 are designed for in-ceiling and in-wall use. Solidly constructed of a marble-infused polymer, the unitized structure actually has the extraordinary high-definition wide-dispersion driver built as an integral part of the frame/flange construction in order to minimize their footprint. The driver motor structures and cone/voice coil assemblies are based on those utilized in GoldenEar’s Triton and Aon speakers. Of course, both also incorporate the GoldenEar High Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR™) tweeter and a complex crossover to perfectly blend the drivers for superb performance.

The Invisa 850 comes standard with a round, paintable MagneLock™ grille and there is an optional square grille available. Special attention has been given to achieving wide sonic dispersion that is so important in distributed audio systems. The tweeters twist and pivot to optimize performance and a high-frequency equalization switch allows precise matching to any environment.

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.
