Goldenear Invisa SPS In Wall Speaker

GoldenEar Invisa SPS In Wall Speaker

The Goldenear Invisa Signature Point Source (SPS) is intended for use as a main front left, right or centre channel loudspeaker, as well as a side or rear surround, in high quality multi-channel home theatre and music systems, as well as in simpler two channel systems of the highest quality. It presents a compact 217.4 x 715.9 mm fascia, and, of course, is of a proper depth to allow it to easily fit, into a standard wall depth. Each Invisa SPS incorporates four 5.25” (133 mm) high-definition cast basket drivers, which are very similar to those found in the award-winning Triton Reference. The Invisa SPS also incorporates an extraordinary Triton Reference High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT Tweeter. The complex crossover network utilizes the special fully balanced topology incorporated in GoldenEar’s upper range models, with a special polystyrene film capacitor on the high frequency section. The drivers are wired with special wire which has a unique twist that was engineered for highest performance.

The four 5.25” drivers are not identical, nor do they cover the same frequency range. In order to achieve a point source radiation pattern, with the dramatic benefits of better dispersion and improved imaging, the outer two drivers have their upper range limited to 500 Hz., while the two inner 5.25” drivers go all the way up to 3 kHz in order to meet and blend perfectly with the tweeter. All this is precisely accomplished by the complex balanced crossover network. Other small, but important details include a switch to allow adjustment of the tweeter level, a magnetically attached low profile grille, non-resonant mineral-filled frame structure, special dogs to allow easy and secure attachment to the wall, and a rotatable tweeter to allow for correct orientation of the tweeter for vertical or horizontal positioning. There is a unique optional backbox available, that has been engineered with special EVA damping foam internally and open-cell foam externally to prevent bleed though of sound into the adjacent room.

Once installed, paintable, microperforated grilles completely conceal the speakers for a seamless appearance.

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.
