"Imagine a world where speakers are a thing of the past, where there are no wires and crystal clear invisible sound completely immerses you - instead of shouting at you"
Invisible Speakers from FeONIC
"A very real new technology."
Ivor Tiefenbrun, founder and MO of Linn Products
"The F-Drive really does have a magical quality about it, producing a highly immersive listening experience quite unlike anything else."
Nick Ryan - Founder of The Fragmented Orchestra - winners of PRS New Music Award 2008
"One worth considering"
Roland Hemming AV Interactive June 2008
FeONIC works with many Sound Art and Installation Artists who require Invisible Speakers. With FeONIC drives, surfaces become the audio source for an immersive audio experience which envelopes the listener. No grills or boxes and wires can be hidden within walls or behind panels.
Helsinki Teater90° have prepared a video of their in development sound art installation
Shona’s, The Watch Man piece has been shown in London and Toronto.
Winners of the PRS New Music award 2008, the Fragmented Orchestra used FeONIC Invisible Speaker drives to sound everyday structures as an integral part of this ambitious composition.

Endangered Languages
This is an interdisciplinary project between the linguists, sound and visual artists working on endangered languages in Singapore. The sound installation was presented at the Language and Diversity Symposium at NTU on 5-6 March 2009. The installation is now part of the permanent exhibit of the NTU Museum and Libraries.
FeONIC F4 Audio Actuators in the base of the units drive the Plexiglass panels. Giving the impression that the figures etched into the glass are speaking.
The Fragmented Orchestra
The Fragmented Orchestra is a huge distributed musical structure modelled on the firing of the human brain’s neurons.
Each of the sites will have a soundbox installed, which will stream human-made and elemental immersive audio via an artificial neuron to one of 24 invisible speakers in the FACT Gallery.
The combined sound of the 24 speakers at the gallery will be continuously transmitted and played through 24 FeONIC F1.3 drives attached to existing materials and structures.
The Watch Man
A major multi–media installation making use of FeONIC Invisible Speaker technology exploring trauma memory by artist Shona Illingworth will be shown as part of ‘War and Medicine’, this year’s major temporary exhibition at Wellcome Collection, London.
"Shona Illingworth’s careful use of visuals and sound creates an emotionally charged environment that evokes both the pain of the remembered experience and the claustrophobia of feeling trapped inside a disturbed mind."
Sandra Rehme, ‘Time Out’
