If you haven’t thought of this yet, there is a solution for you to get rid of those old and big speakers that occupy significant space on your TV stand or desks in the living room. The only condition you have to meet is to live in a house instead of an apartment and you’ll see why in the following minutes.
Does Stealth Acoustics tell you something? This company is specialized in mounting invisible wall speakers and their models come with a mounting frame covered by a 3/16-inch multilayer sheet of paper and foam, which is the active surface of the speaker. The team that mounts these speakers cover the face panel with a protective cover sheet and the mounting frame attaches to the structural framing with drywall screws secured through the mounting frame into the studs. Then, the edge of the face panel is tapered similar to drywall board, while the seam between the face panel and the drywall board is taped and feathered in with joint compound in the same manner as a drywall patch.
In the instructions is specified that the speaker needs to be places directly on the structural framing using the screws in the package, and after this there are just a few steps that have to be followed until the work is done: checking panel alignment, taping the speaker panel, feathering to the wall, and make the finish by painting the wall.
Stealth Acoustics has introduced the stereo invisible wall speakers including the STX8 model with true dual-channel flat panel loudspeaker specially designed for music applications.
This full-range model fits into standard 3.5-inch deep stud walls and doesn’t require special mounting brackets, as it attaches directly to the structural framing.
Among the specifications we find two discreet neodymium high-frequency motors coupled to carbon fiber plates, a dual voice coil woofer, support for ½-inch and 5/8-inch wallboards, as well as support for latex paint, light textures or wallpaper finishes.


“Our dealers and customers asked for a stereo invisible speaker for locations like lobbies, hallways,
bathrooms or other areas where quality stereo sound was a requirement, but space and cost limitations may have prevented installing two speakers†said Paul Hagman, president of Stealth Acoustics. “We’ve taken the best of our proven technologies of direct coupled high-frequency motors and acoustic lever bass transmission and incorporated them into a unique, high-quality, dual-channel flat panel invisible speakerâ€.
These invisible wall speakers use heavy-duty crossovers and protection circuits for each channel, while the 8-inch woofer provides down to 45Hz low frequency response. Other features include 8 ohms nominal impedance, 80 watts RMS per channel power, 86db 1 Watt/1 Meter sensitivity, Ceramic 20 oz Magnet, and total dimensions of 403 x 558 x 80 mm at 6.6Kg.
STX8 was made available recently at a retail price of $550.
