- Welcome back to What's Inside.
Today we are going to see what's inside
of my bedroom walls.
In here.
- There are actually invisible speakers
built into his wall.
This one has no way of you knowing
that there's a speaker in here.
That one over there has a hole in the wall so you can
actually see it because that's a sub-woofer
and sub-woofers need air.
(techno music) So there's music right now.
I can hear it.
There's the sub-woofer.
It just kicked in.
Oh man, I can feel it.
Today we're gonna show you,
how do you install invisible speakers,
how do the invisible speakers work,
and we're gonna take it apart,
probably break one of them.
- Yeah.
- We'll have an expert in home technology
because a lot of people have never seen anything like this
where you have invisible speakers in the room.
(music playing)
I love that, sounds good.
Before we take apart these speakers
and see what's inside of them,
we're in your bedroom.
- Yes.
- Why don't you show us some of your favorite things
other than the invisible speakers
inside of your room. - 'Kay.
(techno music)
- Thanks to TruAudio for sponsoring this video.
We partnered with TruAudio with all of the speakers
inside of our home and on this video.
- This is a golf ball from my first birdie and eagle.
- [Dan] What years did you get your first birdie and eagle?
- 2013 and 2014.
- [Dan] How old were you?
- Six or seven.
- That was young. - Yeah.
- [Dan] Where's your first hole in one ball?
- Okay, I haven't done that yet.
(jazzy music)
- [Dan] How does this thing work?
- You start putting right here and then
you have to hit the perfect putt
because the goal is to make the ball stop right here
which is really hard because that's an actual hole,
but that's the actual piece.
- [Dan] So right here in this hole.
- Exactly. - If you can get it
past there.
- That's how hard you want to hit that putt.
- [Dan] Let's see you knock it in, first try.
- There's no way.
It's really tricky. (zipping)
(jazzy music) (applause)
- [Dan] Just a sneak peak of his closet.
We'll probably go in here at some point,
but there are so many shoes inside of here.
Which pair of shoes is your favorite?
- Either these ones.
- [Dan] Those ones, okay.
- Or these ones.
- [Dan] Oh, the Easter Bunny ones.
I like the Easter Bunny ones.
- They got a little bit dirty though.
(techno music)
- Welcome to my master bedroom.
It's not as cool as Lincoln's room.
I don't have as many shoes.
I don't have as many golfing things
and I don't have as many sports things.
But one thing that I do have that's cool.
This is the invisible speaker and guess what?
It's not really invisible.
As soon as I saw them installing this in our house
about six months ago, I was like, this is cool technology.
We need to show this to the world.
And that was before I even heard it
to hear if it actually functions and works.
We have a speaker right here,
and then we have a sub-woofer that is down there.
So we have two different speakers
that are invisible to us.
And you can't tell.
It just looks like paint on the wall,
but these sound really good.
So six months ago, this is how this works.
They came in after the drywall was put in.
In the drywall, they left a square or a rectangle space
just big enough for this to go in the wall.
There's like these little tiny wires
that seem a bit sketchy to have it in your wall.
I think that's one of the main questions
that people had for me.
They're like, what happens if it breaks?
If it did break, we would have to literally cut a hole
in our wall and take it out and fix it.
But the good news is, this has a lifetime warranty.
When they installed it, before they actually put it
in the wall and put a cover over it,
they put some wires in here
and then they waited to hear the beeping noise.
(siren whirring)
This connected to the system that's in the server room.
What's they new that was good, they take it,
they stick it into the wall,
they put this little cloth thing over it,
and then they put actual mud from your drywall.
To the painter, painting on this surface was no different
than painting on your actual
sheetrock and drywall. (knocking)
Another thing that protects it from actually
going out inside of your wall is this right here.
This is like a little power protector box
that they include that is part of the installation.
So the wire starts here at the speaker
and then it runs through the wall,
connects to this box which is almost like a surge protector
that stops it from getting too much energy
and actually blowing up the speaker.
It goes in between the speaker and the amplifier
and protects things so that it never overloads with power.
There's a power limit that can be set on there
and then for every speaker, it is set up properly
so that it never blows.
I'm sure you guys are wondering,
this is not a speaker.
How does it make noise?
Let me explain that.
So this is our speaker and this is Clint,
who installed the speakers in our house.
Clint, I have no idea how this is actually a speaker.
How does this thing work?
- Most speakers usually has the circle thing.
You see it vibrating.
- The technology in this one's really cool.
And these little transducers are actually vibrating
this whole surface area at all the high frequencies
and then we got those sub-woofers takin' care of
all the low frequencies.
- [Dan] Lincoln, I think you need to break into this.
I wanna get this transducer out of here
and see if there's anything else more in the foam.
Transducer!
(techno beat music)
The TruAudio Wraith Invisible Speaker
Whoa!
Okay, it does look more like a speaker!
- [Lincoln] Uh-oh!
I think I ripped the wires out.
- [Dan] Yeah, that's not working anymore.
But, this does look like,
we took apart a giant sub-woofer and it did
have something similar. - Yeah, that looks like it.
- [Dan] It even had this, what looked like a 3-D printed
cone down here at the bottom.
This is connected directly to the foam.
As Lincoln tears apart the invisible speaker
we're finding that it actually does look more like
a speaker on the inside of this.
I wonder if I can get it with one hand.
Uurgh!
Nope, I'm not strong enough to get one.
It does kind of look like speakers on there.
Inside of the foam and then it connects to that part
of the wall and makes the music out of that.
Invisible speakers in your house.
To give you an idea of what this actual part
that makes the noise looks like.
- Oh boy, that almost
hit my finger. - That's harder
than I thought.
(circus time music)
- I'm scared there for a minute.
- This is called the knee bend test.
(speaker snapping) - Ooh!
Wow, that was loud!
- That was so loud!
There's the inside of your invisible speaker, right there.
Almost like a styrofoam-type board.
It's thicker and harder
than styrofoam. (speaker snapping)
- Oh, you got both of them out!
- There goes the speaker.
And then on the outside of it,
it just has this really nice felt that's on here.
Here's your brains of the speaker, right here.
These are the transducers.
The transducer and the speaker part
that connects to here and you can see that it
glues onto this center part, right here
and this whole thing, when installed properly
can vibrate and make noise inside of the wall
and then you don't have speakers right next to
your master bed in your beautiful bedroom.
Probably wouldn't be recommended to put
artwork over it.
You could still hear it.
It's so fun!
Why is it so fun to destroy stuff?
I don't get it.
We did a whole home tour on our family channel
where we showed the lighting, the speakers,
and how everything is connected inside of our house,
so make sure you go check that out.
And we also saw what's inside of a $5,000 giant sub-woofer
with two 12 inch sub-speakers in it
on our What's Inside channel.
We published that a week or two ago,
so you can go check that one out.
TruAudio sponsored this video, but I will tell you
honestly, I love these speakers inside of our master bedroom
and inside of Lincoln's bedroom.
It's a really cool feature.
We even have it in the piano room
where it just keeps the room looking more elegant
and more natural, yet you can really enjoy the sound.
You hear it, you feel the bass
that's coming out of the wall.
It's a really innovative idea to keep your dream home
looking and sounding the way that you want it to be.
(upbeat rock music)
- Oh, magic.
Oh, shoot, no, no, no.
- These speakers inside
of my room. (Lincoln sneezes)
- Dang it! - Oh, you got it,
the best part.
TruAudio did-- (Lincoln sneezes)
