SONANCE AT ISE 2025
Sonance and its family of brands which include James, IPORT, and TRUFIG had plenty to introduce at the Integrated Systems Europe show in Barcelona. Get a look at the stand and learn more about what we introduced at the show:
Sonance at ISE 2025
The stand was packed with new solutions throughout, combining static products, active demonstrations, and visual storytelling elements to help dealers learn and gain inspiration for project designs. The Sonance Designed to Disappear message was applied on every wall to help inspire customers to reimagine sound.
This year’s stand featured an immersive demonstration similar to the highly popular experiences hosted in the last few years at the show, but with added elements and samplings of our new James Small Aperture Series speaker, recently released Visual Experience Series speaker, and Invisible Series dual 10” subwoofer for a demo that continues to impress and inspire dealers who hear it.
The stand was fresh with plenty of other new announcements, like the new Sonance Utility amplifiers designed to support local zone functionality and eARC. The two new models, one standard digital (UA 2-125) and an ARC model (UA 2-125 ARC), are extremely compact while offering versatility, performance, and simplicity through a robust App for setup and DSP.
UA AMPLIFIERS
Sonance showcased the new amplifiers, demonstrating a variety of application and installation examples like installed in a can behind a TV to support architectural speaker pairs or integrated into an outdoor box for Sonance Patio Series landscape audio support. The amps have a unique 20mm standard T-slot chassis design which provides an efficient heatsink and highly flexible mounting options using many universal accessories. The amps have been drawing a lot of interest and will be a popular choice when they are released in the next few months.
Visual Experience Thin-line
New Visual Experience Thin-Line speakers will be available in a few performance levels to allow dealers to add models to complement the standard depth models into challenging construction depths. At 3mm shallower over their previous generation of Thin-Line products, the new VX TL models provide the perfect answer for projects looking for performance that can fit.
Visual Experience Extreme
Also joining the VX family is new outdoor models, VX Extreme (VX XT). The new VX XT models are IP66 rated with a temperature resistance up to 90-degrees Celsius allowing for support into saunas and other high-temp areas. The new VX XT line up also includes two subwoofer models to add low-end punch for outdoor architectural applications.
Small Aperture Series Expansion
Sonance also introduced a new, expanded offering of Small Aperture Series products, showcasing two new models: the SA68, a major upgrade over the award-winning legacy SA63 model, and adding a new Sonance SA4-66 model. The additions and improvements expand the performance, flexibility, and price range for the Small Aperture category, one James has pioneered and led the industry over the last decade.
