The Greatest Sound on Earth Introducing Sonance Garden Sound... O U T D O O
Introducing Sonance Garden Sound Across the UK s 22 million domestic gardens (with a combined area roughly the size of Somerset) big changes are taking root: we re making more of our outdoor space. Around 40% of the 5 billion* we spend on gardens every year is devoted to planting home comforts next to the lawn, or the pool or the floral borders. New features such as hard landscaping, furniture and lights are transforming garden spaces into extra rooms, and the passion for the great outdoors is not only enriching our outdoor lifestyles, every pound in the ground lifts the value of our homes financially as well. For top real-estate sales especially, the features that bring the extra room alive - the decking, furniture, hot tubs, lights - are not only desirable but mandatory! And when all the amenities are in place, the finishing luxury is high quality garden sound. We re not talking about Public Address systems blasting into neighbouring gardens. We re envisioning lush musical detail underpinned by deep rich bass, controlled so that it reaches the four corners of your garden and no further. In other words sound by Sonance. America s most successful specialist in custom-installed audio will deliver a quality that you and your guests will notice from all-weather garden speakers designed to blend with the landscape for the most discreet luxury look. Proven and award-winning in the world s biggest and most demanding market, the versatile Sonance all-weather range provides you with the widest breadth of options for the most satisfying unity of design and performance available. With a Sonance system custominstalled for perfect results in your garden, why wouldn t you want to infuse every outdoor soiree with a little prog, or punk, or maybe a flower-powered anthem or two? *The Horticultural Trades Association O U T D O O 3

Traditional Garden Sound Design In typical outdoor audio installations a pair of speakers is placed in one location and usually on the same plane. The result can produce various undesirable effects: NOT OUD ENOUGH Uneven volume Speaker placement in one location creates very loud areas near the speakers and little-to-no sound further away. This can affect furniture arrangements and communal areas. TOO OUD NO SOUND Unbalanced coverage It is easy to move in and out of the left and right channels and miss some of the music. AUDIO MAY DISTUB NEIGHBOUS Unwanted noise Audio can spill into neighbouring properties. 7
Sonance Garden Sound Design A system comprising satellite speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, and DSP envelops a space with clear and balanced audio. Even volume coverage ike a well-layered lighting design that has no hot spots or dark spots, the Sonance outdoor audio system provides a smooth, even sound throughout the area. Sound everywhere The Sonance system uses small satellite speakers and subwoofers perfectly arranged around the perimeter of the property. The sound comes from below, above, front, and behind. No disturbances The Sonance system is positioned not to spill into surrounding properties. Paired with Sonance DSP amplifiers, a Sonance satellite/subwoofer system delivers detailed full-range sound in almost any terrain. 9
