FeONIC® Technology Ltd has developed a range of uniquely powerful Invisible Speaker Audio Drives. FeONIC Audio Drives efficiently turn architectural structures and solid surfaces into omni-directional invisible speakers particularly for home entertainment, public buildings, the transport sector and the marine environment.
Video showing how FeONIC Invisible Speakers turn surfaces into speakers.
Audio Entertainment: FeONIC drives are hidden behind surfaces to create invisible speakers that provide a more immersive audio experience. Building from Whispering Window® and the 1st generation SoundBug the new drives also set the standard for home cinema and commercial entertainment.
Public Address - PA: FeONIC PA Speakers offer superior sound quality with high acoustic efficiency and the ability to create distinct sound zones which ensure that only those intended to hear sound actually do. High scoring on the Speech Transmission Index (STI) ensures higher speech intelligibility and lower noise pollution. FeONIC’s PA Speakers help create cost effective STI compliant Voice Alarm / Public Address systems with reduced installation costs and lower power consumption.
FeONIC® Audio Technology is changing the way architects, audio designers and consumers solve acoustic problems.
By attaching a FeONIC drive to a resonant material, glass, wood, plasterboard or metal, boths sides of the surface are transformed into a high quality, wide bandwidth, invisible speaker that emits sound evenly across its entire surface area.
Perforations or grills are unnecessary, FeONIC’S solid state technology is robust and rugged, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. Mounting on the rear of the panel guarantees that they are totally invisible and vandal proof. Solutions:-
FeONIC home audio systems create totally immersive audio experiences, without speaker boxes or wires. Systems can range from a single channel to a multichannel surround sound home cinema installation.
Floors, walls, ceilings, bed heads, doors and even your favourite artwork can all be easily converted into high quality hidden speakers using FeONIC plug and play technology.
FeONIC technology can be used in humid or damp environments including bathrooms and outdoors (IP55 Compliant). Perfect for flat outdoor speakers for a deck.

FeONIC audio drives can transform both contemporary and traditional materials into flat panel speakers, and comply with Grade 1 listed requirements.
Ideally suited for commercial premises, shopping malls, historical buildings, listed buildings, schools and hospitals.
Commercial cladding materials such as GRP, GRC, composite board, plaster and wood based materials can perform in exciting and effective ways, creating new opportunities for designers who want to integrate sound invisibly into commercial building concepts or for interactive displays.

Working closely with Pro-Audio installation partners, FeONIC technology has been successfully used in stadia, sports arenas and public galleries. In one such public gallery a 300 year old 1000m2 solid oak floor has been driven by 24 wireless sound zones enabling discreet audio when used in "gallery" mode whilst a single zone mode fulfills public address and larger events.
Sound losses (from the floor to the ear) are more even when compared to traditional high level or ceiling mounted speakers and the faster transmission speed of FeONIC vibrations through the floor negate traditional audio "hot spots".

FeONIC drives are solid state audio drives that do not use speaker cones. Replacements either for waterproof marine speakers or outdoor horn speakers. Suitable for entertainment on boats, yachts and cabin cruisers through to public address on cruise liners and commercial ships. They are resistant to moisture ingress (IP67), and withstand temperatures in excess of 100°C.
The very high degrees of acoustic conduction through marine structures enables sound to be very evenly distributed throughout the desired zones, reducing the number of marine speakers and subsequent wiring.
With a range of products suitable for both deck speaker, interior and cabin use, FeONIC drives can also be attached to the hull to enable underwater communication to 10m below the surface.
Offering architects and audio designers a new approach to voice alarms, public address (PA) and Passenger Address in, for example, train stations, railway platforms, bus stations and airports. Exceeds EN 60849 speech intelligibility standards at very low power levels. Vital for emergency purposes.
FeONIC’s low profile outdoor speaker designs can be integrated into wall claddings and tunnel linings, without compromise to the designers vision, or the acousticians goal. Outperforming many of todays traditional speaker based solutions while delivering an improved customer experience.

FeONIC Invisible Speaker audio drives can deliver massive forces which, when coupled to resonant surfaces, results in the material radiating a high quality audio output across its entire surface. A phenomenon known as a Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML), more commonly described as a Flat Panel Speaker. First brought to market by FeONIC as the iconic Soundbug.
DMLs are particularly useful when sound needs to be communicated to people inside buildings, on ships, in stations, airports, aircraft, trains, shops, schools, clubs and bars. Anywhere with low Speech Transmission Index scores: too close and you are blasted with sound, too far away and the sound is inaudible and all suffer from distortion caused by echos.
All these problems are solved by FeONIC Invisible Speakers
