SolidDrive turns solid surfaces into speakers.

SolidDrive SD1 is a cutting-edge, innovative, power- ful sound transducer that transmits acoustical energy through almost any solid surface. The entire surface with which SolidDrive comes in contact becomes a speaker, delivering high-quality sound and the frequency response of conventional diaphragm speakers.

SolidDrive works with rigid surfaces including glass, drywall, wood, ceramics, laminates, composites and metal. Because SolidDrive utilizes existing structures in the room, it is ideal for residential and com- mercial applications. Experience sound in ways you never thought possible.

How does the SD1 work?

SolidDrive utilizes patent-pending technology with very high-powered neodymium magnets and dual symmetrically opposed motors to convert audio signals into powerful vibrations. Those vibrations are transferred into solid surfaces through direct contact. High-quality, full-range sound is then radiated from the entire surface with a frequency response of 60 Hz to 15 kHz.

SolidDrive delivers excellent sound to problem areas, transforming walls, ceilings, floors, win- dows, mirrors, counter tops, conference room tables and other furniture into high-quality sound sources. Sound generated from a large surface area immerses the listener in omni directional sound, producing a stunning and impressive experience.

SD1 specifications

The Phase Technology SD1 is a distinguished loudspeaker that has garnered attention for its innovative design and impressive performance. Renowned for its remarkable sound quality, it is often favored by audiophiles and music enthusiasts who value clarity and accuracy in audio reproduction.

One of the standout features of the SD1 is its advanced driver technology. It utilizes a combination of a high-performance dynamic woofer and a silk dome tweeter engineered for optimal dispersion and frequency response. This results in a well-balanced soundstage with a wide range of frequencies, from deep bass to sparkling treble. The integration of these drivers ensures that listeners can experience a full-bodied sound that captures the nuances of their favorite recordings.

The SD1 is also designed with a sophisticated cabinet construction that minimizes unwanted resonance and coloring of the sound. The enclosure is crafted from high-quality materials with a focus on rigidity and aesthetic appeal. This not only enhances the visual aspect but also contributes to the overall acoustic performance of the speaker.

Another critical aspect of the SD1 is its versatility in placement and usage. The loudspeaker can be effectively used in various configurations, whether as part of a stereo system or in a home theater setup. Its relatively compact size allows for easy integration into different environments, making it suitable for both larger and smaller listening spaces.

The Phase Technology SD1 employs advanced crossover technology that ensures seamless transition between the woofer and tweeter. This precision in crossover design minimizes phase distortion, leading to a more cohesive sound performance across the frequency spectrum. The result is a listening experience that feels engaging and immersive, allowing for an accurate representation of music and film soundtracks.

In addition to its impressive acoustic performance, the SD1 boasts a sleek and modern aesthetic that appeals to a broad audience. Available in multiple finishes, it can complement various interior designs, making it a desirable choice for home décor enthusiasts.

In summary, the Phase Technology SD1 loudspeaker combines cutting-edge driver technology, robust cabinet construction, versatile placement options, and elegant design. Its ability to deliver exceptional sound quality makes it an excellent investment for audio lovers who seek both performance and style in their sound systems. With such features, the SD1 continues to stand out in a competitive market, ensuring that users enjoy a premium listening experience.
