The Greatest Sound on Earth

O U T D O O RIntroducing Sonance Garden Sound...

Introducing Sonance Garden Sound

Across the UK’s 22 million domestic gardens (with a combined area roughly the size of Somerset) big changes

are taking root: we’re making more of our outdoor space. Around 40% of the £5 billion* we spend on gardens

every year is devoted to planting home comforts next to the lawn, or the pool or the floral borders. New

features such as hard landscaping, furniture and lights are transforming garden spaces into ‘extra rooms’, and

the passion for the great outdoors is not only enriching our outdoor lifestyles, every pound in the ground lifts

the value of our homes financially as well. For top real-estate sales especially, the features that bring the

‘extra room’ alive - the decking, furniture, hot tubs, lights - are not only desirable but mandatory! And when

all the amenities are in place, the finishing luxury is high quality garden sound.

We’re not talking about Public Address systems blasting into neighbouring gardens. We’re envisioning lush

musical detail underpinned by deep rich bass, controlled so that it reaches the four corners of your garden

and no further. In other words sound by Sonance. America’s most successful specialist in custom-installed

audio will deliver a quality that you and your guests will notice from all-weather garden speakers designed to

blend with the landscape for the most discreet luxury look. Proven and award-winning in the world’s biggest

and most demanding market, the versatile Sonance all-weather range provides you with the widest breadth

of options for the most satisfying unity of design and performance available. With a Sonance system custom-

installed for perfect results in your garden, why wouldn’t you want to infuse every outdoor soiree with a little

prog, or punk, or maybe a flower-powered anthem or two?

About Sonance

Established in 1983 with the invention of the first in-wall

speaker and part of California-based Dana Innovations,

Sonance believes that great design is all about attention

to detail. When technology invariably compromises the

flow and integrity of a space, Sonance offers the custom

installer and the design community the creative freedom

to blend architecture and technology seamlessly for their

customers.

Recognised and utilised around the world for high

performance sound and innovative design flair, Sonance

delivers the highest quality speaker engineering for the

most discreet home applications. We utilise state-of-the-

art materials and cutting-edge test and simulation

software to perfect the sound for wide coverage and

very low distortion – even at high volumes. As many

independent listeners have confirmed, you’ll hear a

quality, consistency and depth of sound that has to be

experienced to be believed.

Traditional Garden Sound Design

In typical outdoor audio installations

a pair of speakers is placed in one

location and usually on the same

plane. The result can produce various

undesirable effects:

Uneven volume

Speaker placement in one location

creates very loud areas near the

speakers and little-to-no sound

further away. This can affect furniture

arrangements and communal areas.

Unbalanced coverage

It is easy to move in and out of the

left and right channels and miss some

of the music.

Unwanted noise

Audio can spill into neighbouring

properties.

TOO LOUD

Sonance Garden Sound Design

A system comprising satellite

speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, and

DSP envelops a space with clear and

balanced audio.

Even volume coverage

Like a well-layered lighting design that

has no hot spots or dark spots, the

Sonance outdoor audio system provides

a smooth, even sound throughout the

area.

Sound everywhere

The Sonance system uses small satellite

speakers and subwoofers perfectly

arranged around the perimeter of the

property. The sound comes from below,

above, front, and behind.

No disturbances

The Sonance system is positioned not to

spill into surrounding properties. Paired

with Sonance DSP amplifiers, a Sonance

satellite/subwoofer system delivers

detailed full-range sound in almost any

terrain.

Ultimate Outdoor: Landscape Series

For an audiophile-quality sound field with minimal hot spots and

dead zones in any landscape at extremely high sound pressure

levels. Two 4-inch satellites and a high power output 6-inch

satellite combine with three 10-inch subwoofers and a high

power 12-inch subwoofer in 70V systems of multiple speaker

arrays, daisy-chained for ease of installation and scalability to

create a custom sound design for your garden.

Satellites can be positioned in trees, hidden in planting beds or

along walkways to direct sound wherever needed. Below-ground

subwoofers provide superior bass while seamlessly blending into

the landscape environment. Subwoofers feature a tuned port for

deep and powerful bass.

Bringing it all together

The last piece of the Sonance Landscape Series system is the

DSP 2-750 amplifier featuring SONARC (Sonance Advanced

Room Correction) software. With hundreds of presets designed

for Sonance Landscape Series speakers - and tested for any

environment - the DSP 2-750 perfectly tunes and balances the

Sonance Landscape Series system.

An 8 ohm version of the 70V LS48 satellite means you can now add up to 4 of these sats to the SR1 Sub for smaller outdoor areas where a full system isn’t necessary.

SR1 SUB(SON-93139)

(available separately)

Easy-to-install sat/sub system with the form-factor of the high-end Landscape models at a far more accessible price. You’ll get eight

distinctive satellites, and an 8” dual voice-coil underground subwoofer - all merchandised in a single carton. The SonArray systems

can be powered by a standard AV receiver, stereo amplifier or, ideally, the SR 2-125 amplifier, custom-built for SonArray. Add a

second SR1 subwoofer for enhanced bass coverage. Also available for smaller areas is the LS48SAT 8 ohm: add four to the SR1 sub

and drive with the SR 2-125 amplifier.

Blends In

The satellite and subwoofer are finished in a neutral earth tone, allowing

them to be camouflaged within the plants and foliage of your outdoor area.

Constructed using corrosion proof composites and featuring triple sealed

enclosures, the SONARRAY SR1 system can withstand whatever mother

nature has to offer; from -20° to 190° F (-29° to 88° C).

Purpose Built Amplification

The SR 2-125 amplifier includes 20 custom built

DSP presets for hardscape, softscape and

everything in-between, allowing for high

performance tuning in a variety of outdoor

applications through rear-panel EQ controls,

rather than having to log-in from a PC.

The SR 2-125 includes analogue, digital coax,

and toslink inputs enabling you to use multiple

sources and music streaming devices.
