In-Wall Transducers
Some companies are trying to
convince consumers that their
walls can be turned into high-
quality speakers with the use of
transducers. Although drywall
can be made to radiate sound,
drywall
is
not
conducive
to sound reproduction and
usually fails to reproduce high-
quality, full-frequency sound.
If
you
want
high-quality
sound coming from your
walls, the best alternative is
to place high-fidelity speakers
on or in the walls. The use of
transducers for this purpose is
often found to be very difficult
and unnecessarily expensive.
Technical Support
Selecting
and
installing
transducers can be a bit tricky,
depending on your home
theater application. Therefore,
you want to insure that the
company you are purchasing
transducers
from
accessible and well-trained
technical support staff. Quite

discount
companies
or auction web sites will sell
transducers at very low prices,
but they will be completely
unable to help you with issues
such as transducer spacing,
amplification
requirements,
and installation techniques.
Thus, it is worth taking a
little extra time to insure
the company you buy from
can adequately support your
technical needs.
