Enhancing Spaces with Unseen Audio by Stealth Acoustics
Stealth Acoustics builds sound you see with your ears, not your eyes. The conversation opens on invisible speakers and why focus matters: the team commits to one category and pushes it forward with two-way and four-component three-way models for different rooms and performance needs. From kitchens with distributed audio to cinema-grade living spaces, the goal is the same: deliver fidelity without visual clutter. The lineup spans LR116, LR224, and LR430, giving integrators flexibility across output, coverage, and budget. The pitch is simple yet powerful for architects and designers: keep your lines clean, let the music disappear, and keep your walls uninterrupted by grills and bezels.
Quality control stands out as a defining trait. Every speaker is tested by a person before it leaves the factory, not sample-based checks that miss edge cases. Protection is built in with poly switches that trip when driven too hard and reset after a short cool-down, preventing costly failures and callbacks. That balance of engineering pragmatism and user empathy shows up in installation guidance, too. Stealth urges teams to power up and test before mudding or taping, catching shipping damage early and saving rework. It is practical, field-tested advice for installers on a clock, and it reflects a brand that understands real jobsite constraints and the profit drain of redo labour.
Installation best practices for invisibles are straightforward and specific. On new construction, use a play saver to mark the opening, run cable, hang drywall around the saver, remove it, then secure the speaker before finishing. Plaster can go over the panel, but depth is critical: stay under two millimetres to preserve high-frequency detail and keep the panel’s mass-spring system responsive. Go thicker, and the sound dulls, detail blurs, and the promise of invisible hi-fi is lost. The material itself is flexible—standard compounds, Venetian plaster, and designer finishes can work, so long as the thickness rule holds. This keeps the spec friendly to builders while protecting performance.
For outdoor spaces, the Stingray range combines stealth and durability. There are three core models: a three-way Stingray 83 for full-range authority, a two-way Stingray 8 for balanced performance, and a compact two-way with a 6.5-inch driver for tighter zones. They are sealed, rust-proof, and ship with a flat bracket for quick key-slot mounting. Go vertical or horizontal, or step up to a U-bracket for overhead installs or windy sites. IP68 protection lets these speakers withstand exposure to water and dust without fear. The kicker is design: they don’t look like speakers. With vinyl wraps that match brick, stone, or colour themes, they blend into architecture while keeping maintenance light.
Performance outdoors benefits from smart bass management. While the Stingray 6 holds its own, adding a subwoofer fills gardens and patios with the low-end impact music needs to feel complete. Stealth hints at a new outdoor subwoofer arriving soon, suggesting tighter system integration and better voicing across their range. Real-world proof comes from a German yard that recessed dozens of Stingrays into a superyacht headliner on a party deck—showing these speakers scale to complex projects without compromising aesthetics or durability. When gear disappears, layout choices expand, and the space itself becomes the stage.
The conversation crescendos with the Patio Theater: a 114-inch, P2 pixel-pitch outdoor LED display designed as a turnkey solution. It arrives in two boxes, pairs with LR430 speakers and 30W subs, and can be up within hours if site prep is done. Brightness is ample for daylight viewing, and configurations range past 200 inches. Customisation includes alternative audio packages, soundbars, and options for full or partial recessing. Weatherproofing is thorough, and the same front-seal principle applies to Stealth’s invisibles, making exterior walls suitable for hidden audio. For UK customers, AWE provides distribution and support, with air shipping for urgent deliveries or container shipping for cost control. Whether you are threading a back gate or planning a crane lift, the team partners to make installation practical. The sum of it all is a design-first approach: audio and video that fit architecture, withstand the elements, and deliver experiences worth gathering around.
