Stand 114 at EI Live! 2024 is the stage for the first UK showing of the uniquely provisioned Architettura Sonora (AS) range of high-end, all-weather sound systems. Its UK show debut gives show-goers the opportunity of a hands-on encounter with a level of engineering, design and performance way beyond the standard sat/sub fair.
Coming from B&C speakers, one of the largest and most prestigious professional loudspeaker transducer manufacturers in the world, AS is designed by engineers who really understand transducers and electro acoustics, explains the supplier. Its systems feature sophisticated full-range dual concentric ‘point-source’ configurations of horn-loaded Mylar diaphragm compression drivers and 6in long-excursion woofers, firing downward onto a proprietary acoustic lens for 360° sound dispersion. These are precisely engineered pro-driver designs with hi-fi performance, built for uniform high quality audio coverage outdoors.
In typical applications where the proximity of directional satellites is critical to success, the grail of an even high-quality sound field isn’t always possible, especially when designing in consultation with garden designers or landscapers. The nature of AS dispersion can help to cure this headache.
Architettura Sonora’s distinctive on-ground, Sphere, Cylinder, Cube and Cubino models and ceiling/floor Spherina models reflect full-range time-coherent sound outwards with integrity for up to 10 metres in all directions, and they’re engineered with pro sensibilities to deliver high volume levels without distortion reliably over many years for commercial and residential applications. Matching full-range and subwoofer versions (supplied with or without internal crossovers) allow for the design of aesthetically consistent wide bandwidth systems for a variety of project sizes.
There’s more!
And while most AS systems feature 6in long-excursion woofers, there’s support for deeper bass from the ‘Big Cylinder’ model, which deploys an 8in driver and the ‘Cube-400Ten’ with a 10in driver. In addition, a dedicated subwoofer model, the 12in Cube2LV is available, as well as 100V line options for Sphere, Cylinder, Cube and Cubino models.
To perfect Architettura Sonora’s signature aesthetic and acoustic results, the choice of models in different shapes, sizes and deployments is supported by the ability to blend high quality audio with a wide choice of natural stone or concrete enclosures, making AS designs a natural complement to any outdoor setting while providing the ideal non-resonant acoustic environments for its driver systems.
These are not the ‘stone effect’ mouldings available from some suppliers, says CUK Group, but are either cast from concrete in black, grey, red and white or machined from the finest natural white/black marble or classic/walnut travertine limestone. Particularly fastidious customers can order from a range of over 100 custom stones, as well as special ‘Klondike’ finishes for a ‘monogramed’ degree of exclusivity. The stones will of course have inherently unique qualities for a one-of-a kind design appeal, which is enhanced by a choice of colours/materials for the trims and other metalwork. As a finishing touch, the aesthetic impact is boosted by integral LED mood lighting options for every model save the Cubino, Cube 2LV and Spherina Floor designs.
Nothing is mass produced, everything custom finished. The Architettura Sonora range brings something truly unique to projects and allows proposals and designs to stand out while meeting the demands for exclusivity and individuality from designers and customers.
CUK is supporting Italy’s uber-luxury Architettura Sonora line with stock and demonstration availability, as well as the company’s meticulous design and tech backup services.
