 FeONIC F-Drives is most commonly used to convert new and existing structures of commonly used resonant building materials into high quality loudspeakers. The structural surface performs as a highly intelligible powerful distributed mode (non-directional) speaker suitable for both audio reproduction and public address systems, satisfying the EN60849 standard for acoustic quality in public places. The F-Drive is unlike traditional speaker technology, produces a more even distribution of distinct sound, because it uses a very high powered magnetostrictive smart material as the driver instead of a moving coil. The magnetic field that causes the smart material inside the sounder to react is created by drive coils around the material. The smart material sounder exhibits much superior properties over conventional speaker technologies.
The FeONIC F-Drives produces immersive sounds with almost all materials such as, plasterboard, aluminium, wood floors or even glass. It provides invisible audio to places such as bus shelters, patio doors or smoking shelters.
