Phase Technology SD1 specs

Sound Without Speakers™

A high-quality audio source completely hidden from view

A truly hidden speaker, SolidDrive installs directly behind walls, in ceilings, under floors and on most all other solid surfaces. The unit turns an entire structure’s surface into a high-quality sound source while remaining completely hidden from view.

SolidDrive SD1 is highly efficient and reliable

Efficiency is very important for inside-wall applications due to potential heat build up. The highly efficient SolidDrive answers this need with its ability to generate sound from an entire flat surface with very little power. In fact, SolidDrive can generate sound from solid surfaces by utilizing only 5 to 20 watts. SolidDrive is thermally protected, so can also be used in high-output applications with power levels up to 100 watts.

The SD1 operates in a virtually friction-free environment with no parts that will wear or require lubrication. Parts subject to fatigue are fabricated from high strength materials and engineered for infinite life. SolidDrive carries a 7-year warranty.

Imagine the applications for SolidDrive:

•Home theaters

•Distributed audio

•Restaurants

•Retail stores

•Hotels

•Conference room tables

•Digital signage

•Storefront windows

•Kiosks

Sturdy, patent-pending “in-wall” mounting system

The SolidDrive mounts “in-wall” and “in-ceiling” by attaching directly to the drywall with a patent- pending balanced cantilever spring bracket. The bracket spans the studs, providing strength, stability and vibration-free operation.

SolidDrive delivers sound to problem areas trans- forming walls, ceilings, floors, windows, mirrors, counter tops, conference room tables and other furniture into high-quality sound sources. Perfect for homes, retail stores, restaurants or anywhere audio is wanted but without visible speakers.

Optional SolidDrive passive equalization modules

The surface material plays a key role in the system’s sound quality. To ensure an optimal listening experi- ence, the SolidDrive SD1 system is equalized with the SolidDrive Passive Equalization Module. One EQ module is used with each SolidDrive. EQ Modules are available for drywall, wood and glass surfaces.

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.
