Now That’s A Design Dream
Established well over a decade ago, Amina is now the world’s leading supplier of totally invisible loudspeaker solutions.
The Amina headquarters and manufacturing facility is located in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England, where their products are assembled, tested at many stages by their production teams and packaged for shipment throughout the world.
Their Research and Product development teams are at the world’s leading edge in the field of new technology sound transducers.
Amina® aims to help individuals and corporations create lifestyle environments that benefit from modern entertainment, information and communication systems whilst not having the design of their living or work environment corrupted by visually obvious technology.

It’s your sound, your way.
Complete with perfect audio.
No visual compromise. No sonic compromise. Amina Invisible Speakers fill your space with brilliant sound.
Technology
The idea that sound can only be made electrically by the piston based cone speaker we have known for over a century is a misnomer. Sound can also be made by using the millennia old principles of the vibrating or resonant surface musical instrument (e.g. the guitar, violin or piano).
By replacing the strings on the musical instrument with a powerful full range electrical tuning fork (we call it an exciter), and by replacing the shaped body of the musical instrument with modern lightweight composites, we have created a low profile, highly effective ‘sound instrument’.
This can be controlled and driven by conventional audio amplifiers and your choice of audio source, be it the TV, radio, CD or of course modern digital streaming or storage devices.
Why Invisible?
Increasing demand for integrated lifestyle-technology combined with the associated ‘aesthetic-clutter’ that it brings has led to a rise in hidden technology solutions. With 30% of brain power dedicated to visual stimulus and only 2% dedicated to audio, it is clear that the way we ‘see’ the sound has a huge impact on the way we perceive it. By removing the aesthetic aspect, it allows complete focus on the audio art-form as it was intended.
How does it work?
With the invention of VPT (Vibrational Panel Technology), Amina has been able to take the common loudspeaker design and replace the cone with a flat panel. Instead of moving forwards and backwards visibly like a typical cone design, a VPT panel uses small vibrations to generate sound which can be heard but not seen. This allows for seamless integration of a loudspeaker into any wall, ceiling or flat decorative panel with zero visual impact.
