GoldenEar Invisa MPX

Angled drivers for enveloping surround sound

The "MP" in this GoldenEar speaker's name stands for "multi-polar" — its woofers fire at an angle from one another, which helps disperse sound more widely than most direct-firing in-wall speakers. This design makes them ideally suited for installation on the rear or side walls of your home theater as surround speakers, where they can deliver wraparound effects. GoldenEar also mentions that they can be installed in your ceiling, as well, and even used for stereo music applications.

Driver design magic

GoldenEar's HVFR™ (High Velocity Folded Ribbon) tweeter is highly acclaimed among audio aficionados for its detail and transparency. It squeezes the air between the folds of a high-density diaphragm, rather than pushing air like a piston. This design helps the tweeter to maintain a wide dispersion pattern and smooth response all the way up to 35,000 Hz. In the Invisa MPX, you can dial in the tweeter's output to suit your taste and setup using the three-position high-frequency EQ switch located behind the grille on the front faceplate.

The tweeter is flanked by a pair of high-definition 4-1/2" mid/bass woofers, set at an angle from each other, as described above. Their extra-strong magnets and proprietary cone shape keep their movement linear and clean. Each woofer uses GoldenEar's proprietary MVPP™ (multi-vaned phase plug), which controls energy in the center of the drivers and minimizes cone diffraction, a form of distortion.
