MARKET SECTORS
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 drive 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.

DOMESTIC & DECK SPEAKERS
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, bedroom furniture and even your favourite artwork can be easily turned into high quality hidden speakers.
FeONIC technology can be used in humid or damp environments including bathrooms and outdoors. Perfect for a deck: weatherproof and completely hidden outdoor speakers without a fake rock speaker in sight.
Learn more about our Hidden Speakers including a range of Amplifiers and in particular the top of the range F1.3, the F4 audio drives and the S1 Subwoofer
Go to the Transport section for outdoor PA systems.
COMMERCIAL AUDIO
FeONIC audio drives can transform both contemporary and traditional materials into flat panel speakers, and comply with Grade 1 listed requirements.
Ideally suited for offices, shopping malls, historic 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. Also see Whispering Window for shop window speakers and for interactive displays.
Standards compliance includes
- BS EN 60849 - standard for acoustic quality in public places
- STI - Speech Transmission Index
- CIS - Common Intelligibility Scale
PRO AUDIO : SOUND ZONES
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 PA or ceiling speakers. Also the faster transmission speed of FeONIC vibrations through the floor negate traditional acoustic "hot spots". No need to deafen people at the front of an event to ensure those at the back can hear.

MARINE SPEAKERS : Public Address or Entertainment
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.
TRANSPORT PUBLIC ADDRESS SPEAKERS
Offering architects and audio designers solutions to acoustic problems.
Improved speech intelligibility standards at very low power levels. Vital for emergency purposes.
FeONIC’s low profile robust speaker designs can be integrated into wall and tunnel linings, and also surfaces such as metro Platform Screen Doors without compromise to the designers vision, or the acousticians goal. Outperforming traditional horn speaker based solutions while delivering an improved customer experience without echoes or reverberations.

FeONIC PRODUCTS
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. Creating Vibration Speakers with extremely low excursion, high efficiency and power.
First brought to market by FeONIC as the iconic Soundbug. Use where sound needs to be distributed to people whether inside the home, in commercial buildings (museums, shops, clubs), on ships and boats or in trainstations.
Particularly useful for PA in locations which suffer from echoes or where you don't wish to blast sound at people.
All these problems are solved by FeONIC Invisible Speakers
Audio Drives
The FeONIC F-Series Audio Drives can turn resonant surfaces into powerful speakers.
Low frequency (bass) drives and higher frequency voice drives for PA applications.
Power efficient, these products produce enough output to turn your house / boat / ceiling / wall / floor into massive sounding boards allowing audio designers the freedom that traditional speakers cannot offer.
Drives will work on either side of the surface (without grills). The entire surface becomes the diaphragm.
All F- Series drives work with standard 4Ω amplifiers.

Presenter Pro - Portable Presentation Speakers
FeONIC presenter is a professional business tool. It enhances a presentation from a laptop computer by turning a table into a loudspeaker device.
Typically, tiny internal speakers cannot provide either the volume or frequency response needed to exploit the audio power of application software or movie clips.
The FeONIC Presenter Pro solves this problem by converting the whole boardroom table into a speaker so everyone can hear your presentation clearly and adds a ‘WOW’ factor at the same time!
The F4 Presenter Pro Pack is an excellent demonstration product and can be used both professionally and at home.
Typical Applications
The FeONIC F4 Audio drive used in the Presenter Pro has a long history of being used in furniture, kiosks, flat screen TVs and other applications including;
- Presentation aid (Presenter Pro)
- Small home audio installations driving desks and furniture
- Retail POS advertising – www.whisperingwindow.com
- Walls and installed furniture including baths and mirrors
- Outdoor – walkways and nature trail audio signage
- Public buildings and schools – sound reinforcement

Whispering Window
The audio drives transform an entire store window into a speaker. This can be used for short audio advertisements, audio branding, in store radio, in store TV broadcasts, special events etc.
As the sound is evenly distributed throughout the windows surface, you won't have to crank up the audio to annoying levels.
The audio drives can be left in place for years, or just for a few weeks. They are simple to install and de-install.
As sound is created on both sides of the surface, the audio drives are often mounted on the inside of the store, so the devices cannot be tampered with. The audio drives can be attached behind the in window vinyl graphics making them discreet and unobtrusive.
Typical Applications
Whispering Window has been used by a number of brands around the world since 2003, including
- John Lewis
- Marks and Spencer
- Calvin Klein
- Hugo Boss
- Desigual
- and many more
As well as visual merchandisers using store windows for advertising other conceptual designs have utlised the technology such as the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange Programme where a steel crate was transformed into a DJ booth so music could be heard inside and out.
