Why In-Wall & In-Ceiling Speakers Are Worth the Hype
Invisible Speakers Are Increasingly Popular in Home Theaters & Multi-Room Systems. Could Your Home Benefit?
Next time you’re in a coffee shop or restaurant that’s playing music, look around. You may see speakers mounted high on the walls. Or you may not see any speakers at all.
Many restaurants and stores have long used in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, even taking it a step further with invisible speakers (more on those below). But now, more luxury homes than ever are embracing hidden audio in walls and ceilings.
What is hidden audio, and what is it like in practice? In this article, we’ll share how hidden speakers like Sonance’s Invisible Series play into whole-home audio systems. And if you’re interested in audio solutions in the Dallas, TX area, contact Texadia Systems to learn more.

More Music, Less Clutter
More homeowners are embracing hidden audio due to its clean, clutter-less appearance. You can build a multi-room sound system that fills the house with music—and without bulky speakers and unsightly wires.
How is it done? We install speakers within the walls or ceilings and cover them with a flat paintable grille. Alternatively, “invisible” audio is completely enclosed behind the wall without a grille or any sign of a speaker.
Impressive Sound
Many people are surprised by how clear and robust hidden speakers sound. Although they can’t be relocated, when positioned correctly, hidden audio provides exceptional acoustics. In-wall speakers act like a black box speaker with high-fidelity sound projection.
Unfortunately, in-wall speakers may lack bass due to their size. Luckily, Sonance manufactures an in-wall subwoofer that can deliver our favorite low frequencies while remaining hidden.
The Sonance Invisible Series
As an audio-video integrator, we recommend Sonance’s Invisible Series to homeowners looking for a truly camouflaged AV experience. The Invisible Series speakers are finished over with the same material as your adjoining walls and ceilings, with your choice between drywall, paint, wallpaper, wood veneer, and even venetian plaster. Invisible speakers don’t only blend in with your walls—they become a part of it.
And from your smartphone, tablet, or even wall keypad, you can wirelessly play music across all your hidden speakers. Want to listen only in the kitchen and dining room? Select those speakers from your smart system app, choose a song, and let it play.
Getting Started with Hidden & Invisible Audio
A hidden whole-home sound system isn’t something that can be installed and ready to go in a single afternoon. It’s a home investment, similar to replacing your kitchen countertops or renovating the patio.
A professionally installed audio system will not only take your entertainment to the next level but will also raise your home’s value. Unless you’re comfortable with wiring and installing alone, it’s a job best left to the professionals.
