Revolution Acoustics

Revolution Acoustics was born from the inquisitive minds of industrial product strategists and the principles of planar wave physics. Founder Bob Katz, whose industrial design firm has brought innovative designs to prominent brands worldwide, created Revolution Acoustics to solve the problem of inconsistent loudspeaker coverage.

Recognizing that traditional cone loudspeakers would always be plagued by the same concerns in high-frequency dropoff and varying off-axis levels, Katz turned to the planar wave physics of Distributed Mode Loudspeakers, or DML. By using transducers to excite a rigid surface, sound is created in the same way an acoustic guitar or piano soundboard generates its immersive and accurate audio reproduction. But unlike other transducer products, which lack low-end content and cannot handle much power, the Multiducer design generated by Katz’ team, and brought to the market in 2014, offers full fidelity along with high power handling that enables its use across a wide scope of applications.

The technology behind the SSP6 Multiducer carries numerous US and worldwide patents, and the SSP6 is IP66 rated for use in extreme environments.

SSP6 Multiducers have been used worldwide in installations ranging from five-star hotels to high-end shopping plazas to luxury yachts.

SSP6 Multiducers

A Revolution in Speaker Technology.

The patented SSP6 Multiducer™ (Multifunctional Transducer) brings a revolution to not only invisible audio but all kinds of installed speaker applications. Its sheer performance with high fidelity audio, high power handling and constant SPL throughout a listening space means it’s the perfect speaker for sound masking, conference rooms, retail, restaurant, hospitality, house of worship, transportation and other commercial uses; its performance combined with the fully invisible installation make it ideal for high-end residential use.

The SSP6 Multiducer is a new class of products for transforming rigid surfaces – walls, ceilings, tables, windows, vehicles, and other surfaces – into full-range audio speakers. It employs a different subset of acoustical physics – bending wave physics – giving you a true Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) with no hot spots or off-axis high-frequency dropoffs. (Read more about the technology behind the SSP6 here.)

SSP6 Multiducers install directly onto a surface, and installation is accomplished in a matter of minutes. The secret to our ultra-fast installation is the RevLoc™ mounting plate. This plate is adhered to the surface (see the SSP6 Installation Guide for more information), and the SSP6 is screwed into place on the RevLoc. It’s that easy! No tools are needed.

The SSP6 is UL certified for use in plenum spaces and IP66 rated for extreme weather and marine applications.

The Revolutionary Choice for Sound Masking.

Because coverage is so broad and even, a single SSP6 unit can take the place of up to 9 “emitters” traditionally used in sound masking applications – saving money not only in equipment costs but in labour and wiring. Combine it in 70V mode with our revolutionary RevNet 2140 amplifier, which incorporates a customizable sound masking generator, and you can install a comprehensive sound masking system at a surprisingly low cost.
