Sonance Professional today announced global availability of the complete Professional Series High Output Loudspeaker family. Designed for commercial environments requiring higher SPL, controlled coverage, and exceptional speech intelligibility, the compression driver-based family expands Sonance's Professional Series into a broader range of demanding applications.
The family includes pendant, surface mount, blind mount in-ceiling, and two-piece in-ceiling models. Every loudspeaker combines an 8-inch woofer with a coaxially mounted 1.4-inch compression driver, providing the output and clarity needed for foreground music and open microphone applications. With low-frequency extension to 41 Hz, many applications can be completed without additional subwoofers, simplifying system design and installation.
A unique feature of the Professional Series High Output family is Variable Dispersion Technology, which allows designers and installers to select between 120-degree and 80-degree dispersion patterns, allowing designers to optimize coverage for both low- and high-ceiling applications. The technology is delivered through a magnetically interchangeable horn and collar assembly that ships in-box with every model and can be reconfigured in the field without any special tools. A two-position switch optimizes the crossover for whichever dispersion configuration is selected, ensuring consistent sonic performance in either mode.
"The sonic fidelity we've achieved in the new High Output family, along with its flexible form factors and configurable wide or narrow dispersion, represents a transformative advancement in the category."
- Skylar Gray, Director of Engineering, Sonance
" We're incredibly excited about this new High Output family, which brings a new level of performance and flexibility to our Professional Series. Combined with recent introduction of PowerZone Connect PRO amplifiers, integrators now have a complete Sonance solution for demanding commercial audio systems.”
- Mike Sonntag, Chief Revenue Officer, Sonance Commercial
A Complete Family of Form Factors
Every model shares the same acoustic voicing, allowing designers to mix pendant, surface mount, and in-ceiling loudspeakers throughout a project while maintaining a consistent listening experience. The surface mount model further extends deployment into covered outdoor environments with an IPX4 rating.
That same flexibility carries through to installation. The two-piece in-ceiling model supports rough-in during early construction, allowing the backcan to be installed well before finish work. Across the family, integrated 70V/100V transformers with up to 120W taps, 8-ohm bypass capability, UL1480A compliance, and UL2043 certification on in-ceiling models simplify specification across a wide range of commercial projects.
Built for Demanding Environments
Professional Series High Output Loudspeakers extend Sonance's professional audio offering into applications that demand greater output, longer throw, and enhanced speech intelligibility. Typical deployments include convention centers, ballrooms, houses of worship, fitness facilities, sports bars, hospitality venues, retail environments, and other commercial spaces with high ceilings or challenging acoustics.
