METHODOLOGY
Professional audio integration is more than merely filling a room with music. It’s a tangible design element and a critical part of the space’s environment that is meant to create a mood, elevate the senses and not distract from the designer’s vision and aesthetic goals. For over 30 years, the architectural speaker pioneers at Sonance have continually explored and refined the fine art of musical fidelity within a designed space, with their series of award-winning in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
RESULTS
“I can’t believe the difference this system has made. We had a great atmosphere before, with the décor, lighting and aroma from the wood fired oven. Now that the place is perfectly filled with sound, we have achieved the perfect ambience. I couldn’t be happier.”
- David Pratt, Executive Chef and Owner | Brick
The Brick installation consists of 4” Pendant Speakers in the main dining area and corridor, with 8” Surface Mount Woofers along the edge of the wall to provide additional bass. 8” Surface Mount Speakers provide a separate sound stage in bar area, while 6” Surface Mount Speakers and 8” Surface Mount Woofers were used on the patio. The consistent voicing across the Sonance Professional Series range ensures seamless integration of sound when moving from one area to the next.
