Completely Invisible Speakers
The totally unseen In-Wall, In-Ceiling and In-Frame speakers produce high-definition sound with no visual interference to room aesthetics. Onsia gives you the freedom to reveal your personal style and decorate your living space exactly as you wish, without unsightly speakers in the way. Plus your room will appear more organized, more welcoming…more like you’ve always dreamed.
Technology behind Onsia
The Onsia™ Concealed Flat Panel Speaker is genuinely unique from all other forms of electrical audio sound reproduction (most of which are based on the controlled motion of a piston-like structure). Onsia utilizes the principle of distributed mode vibrations in a lightweight rigid body.
Onsia works in much the same way as the majority of acoustic musical instruments — utilizing the principle of a vibrating sound board or vibrating structural body. The entire body of an acoustic guitar, for example, is a complex vibrating mass that radiates sound energy in all directions. The strings of the acoustic guitar through the guitar’s bridge function to excite or set off those vibrations. By themselves, the vibrations of the strings contribute little to the acoustic energy radiated from the instrument; hence an electric guitar does not make a great deal of sound without an amplifier.
In essence, Onsia speaker technology replaces the strings and bridge of an acoustic musical instrument with a compact electromagnetic coil device, called a transducer. The transducer is capable of converting electrical signals that carry the full audio frequency bandwidth, into a small linear motion. The transducer is then used to “excite” a soundboard. It is the soundboard itself, through a complex distributed mode vibrating action, which then radiates large amounts of sound energy into the surrounding environment without any perceived large excursion of a diaphragm.

Whether for new construction, renovations or additions, Onsia’s innovative sound solutions add a note of class and disctinction to every interior. Now you can design a space that is not only beautiful, but comfortable and functional as well.
Reliablility
No one wants to have to re-plaster a wall if something were to go wrong. NXT technology is inherently maintenance free. As the exciter is only moving fractions of a millimeter, the mechanical stresses are far less than with the drive unit of a conventional speaker. Equally, the technology has no cone surround or suspension that can fail due to material fatigue. The unit does contain a moving coil, and it is possible to overdrive this like any other speaker by applying too much power for too long. However Onsia’s protective, self-resetting polyswitches are built into each speaker, thus eliminating “blown” speakers due to overpowering or signal spikes. This virtually eliminates the risk of failure due to abuse, so your Onsia products should last a lifetime.
