Glass or wood as a speaker

In the past we have specified Solid Drive transducers to turn wood, glass or drywall into a speaker. They are quite expensive but very cool.  $500 each retail.

I subscribe to Instructables.com and one of this weeks projects is Hanging Glass Speakers.

Same concept as Solid Drive, I don't think I would do it that way, but astounding for the inexpensive components that are used for the transducers and amplifier.

$20 each for transducers and $18 for a 20 watt stereo amp!

I have a customer that used Solid Drive to turn a living room ceiling into surround left and right speakers and a kitchen floor turned into stereo left and right.

I'm tempted to get the components just to play with.

Man Cave Speaker Placement

A new technology article "Man Cave Speaker Placement" is posted and available online.

The Yamaha Sound Projector and the PolK Audio Surround Bar speakers are perfect solutions for creating a dynamic sound field in a room that has few options for running wires to surround and rear speakers.
