We ve utilised state-of-the-art materials, cutting-edge test and simulation software to perfect the sound for wide coverage and very low distortion even at high volumes. As many independent listeners have confirmed you ll hear a quality, consistency and depth of sound that has to be experienced to be believed. How do you want your audio to look? At Sonance we found the design community are much more accepting of speakers when they are the same size and shape as the lighting, therefore allowing the opportunity to install distributed audio systems in primary listening areas, significantly improving aesthetics and audio performance. Designed audio Traditional approach

Lighting Design Lighting tends to define the aesthetics of a ceiling plan and with distributed audio speakers typically being mounted into the ceiling, if the lights and speakers match then the design will be coherent. Sonance speakers are offered in a variety of shapes and sizes to enhance the design aesthetic by aligning speakers with the lighting plan, providing a consistent design aesthetic. Lighting Coverage A good lighting plan considers aesthetics and function, then provides full coverage. The challenges: Too much light directly under the fixtures Not enough light within the perimeter areas Required to turn the lights up higher to compensate No optimal lighting in the space With even coverage an array provides the right level of light,enhancing the use and enjoyment of the space. Two fixtures won t properly light a kitchen space More lights provide improved coverage

The Traditional Audio Coverage Approach The traditional approach can create several challenges: Speaker grilles that don t match downlights Too loud directly under the speakers Not enough sound on the perimeter No optimal listening spot Traditional distributed audio uses a pair of speakers to deliver audio into a space. This means you have uneven volume levels. The Optimal Audio Coverage Approach The Benefits of Distributed Audio Systems: Immersive Listening Experience Superior Audio Performance & Coverage Improved Aesthetics Just as you have several lights across your ceiling to achieve consistent light levels, the same principle applies to your speakers.

Design your system When choosing speakers always consider the room size, speaker shape and positioning. Quick tip: rather than stick with a traditional configuration of 6" round speakers in most rooms, we ve noticed a growing trend among designers for choosing smaller 4" square speakers but adding extra pairs in key rooms. This gives a better sound dispersion and simultaneously lends the room a more contemporary look. If you ve settled on a speaker size, a square adaptor for VP converts any round speaker into a square one, simplifying installation and alignment. Grilles are attached using strong neodymium magnets for a superior finished aesthetic. Sonance has speaker sizes that match recessed lighting as well!
