Daniel J SaitDistributor Habitech has announced the launch of the Sonance Patio Series of outdoor speakers at this year’s ISE.
The new Sonance Patio Series system is designed for smaller outdoor spaces demanding an even, balanced audio coverage and strong performance. Sonance stands firm in the belief that speakers should blend in with the design of the space and be comfortable to listen to.
Its new Patio Series system of four satellite speakers and one in-ground subwoofer now gives integrators the ability to accomplish this in spaces up to 100 sqm.
The landscape lighting-like speaker housings and the textured brown finish allow Patio Series to be hidden amongst the natural elements of the landscape, blending into the surroundings.
The system’s four staked satellite speakers, each deploying a 3.5in (89mm) anodised aluminium cone driver with a Santoprene surround, are joined by a subwoofer featuring an 8in (203mm) dual voice coil polypropylene cone and Santoprene surround driver for impressive output in intimate courtyard or patio settings.
The system can be expanded to include eight satellite speakers and two subwoofers when using a Sonance SR 2-125 DSP amplifier. A single Patio Series System (4 sats and 1 subwoofer) is designed to cover up to 100 square metres.
The new system announcement comes just as the Sonarray solution plans its exit from the Sonance line up. “We continually challenge ourselves to deliver the best outdoor audio experience to our customers,” says Product Manager, Josh Blanken, “For years Sonarray has been a powerful solution for integrators looking to provide landscape audio systems for their customers at a high value price point. With Patio Series replacing Sonarray, integrators will now have the ability to provide class-leading performance and aesthetics, in much smaller spaces.”
