Stealth Acoustics will unveil its latest audio solution to the smart home industry at CEDIA 2018, the LRx85 invisible speaker.

The new speaker is ideal for application in home theaters and presentation spaces that require invisible sound reproduction.

The LRx85 features Stealth’s proprietary Fidelity Glass technology. The durable UV protected radiating panels ensure spacious sound is produced in the full audio spectrum from 40Hz to 18kHz, as well as a 170-degree hemispherical coverage pattern.

“We are delighted to introduce the LRx85 to the growing range of Stealth’s LRx series of premium invisible speakers,” Stealth Acoustics vice president Steve Olszewski says.

“Our enduring reputation as the world’s best invisible speaker manufacturer is based on over 15 years of real-world performance in thousands of installs that rival and often exceed visible alternatives.

“We’re on our 7th generation of the relevant patented technologies and the LRx85 is our latest example of how well our invisibles perform when great sound with no visible speaker presence is desired.”

The LRx85’s two-panel design allows for increased power handling, lower octave bass response and reduced intermodulation distortion at outputs of over 103dB. Its mid-high speaker pack uses four 30mm high-power neodymium magnet drivers directly coupled for reproducing midrange sounds and a 25mm neodymium high frequency driver, all mounted in Stealth’s Quad-Balanced Midrangetm configuration.

A separate invisible bass stage panel engages two premium 8” high-power cone woofers to extend bass response down to 40Hz. The bass stage connects directly to the mid-high packs crossover via dedicated terminals, making the LRx85 simple to wire with a single feed to the amplifier.

The design also provides installers with placement flexibility when including the LRx85 solution in a variety of applications.

An active version, the LRx85-ACT, includes pre-tuned and optimised bi-amplification, for increased sound and higher output.
