CEDIA Expo 2024: A Preview of What’s Coming From Sonance

Ahead of CEDIA Expo 2024, which takes place next week in Denver, CO, Sonance has announced a few innovations that are coming, including new products, integrations, and a revamped website.

Sonance Mariner MX Outdoor Speakers

One of the innovations Sonance will have at its booth is the new Mariner MX outdoor speakers, sleek and minimalist speakers designed to be surface-mounted outdoors and blend into the environment. They come with advanced Sinusoidal Textured Waveguide technology and Sonance VX transducers, ensuring balanced music dispersion and favourable clarity in outdoor settings.

The MX Series is a complete overhaul of the legacy Mariner Series which has carried the category through a few minor iterations in the 25-year series history. Mariner MX is the first time the company has completely redesigned and engineered the series to elevate performance and installation.

The MX Grille Clip System ensures a secure and seamless grille attachment for a sleek appearance. The enhanced Sonance FastMount bracket systems offer easy and flexible installation options, accommodating various mounting needs.

Trufig Solutions for Crestron Horizon Keypads

Trufig, the mounting solutions arm of Sonance, is offering new solutions that are designed to support Crestron Horizon keypads. These solutions enable the keypads to be installed flush with the surface, ensuring a clean, minimalist finish that enhances any luxury environment.

The Trufig solution is engineered to provide precision alignment, allowing the Crestron Horizon keypads to perfectly match other architectural elements. This level of detail ensures that technology integrates seamlessly into the overall aesthetic, maintaining the integrity of the space’s design.

It can be applied in various materials, including gypsum, marble, wood, stone, and other solid surfaces.

New Experiential Sonance Website

Sonance has also redesigned its website at www.sonance.com to offer a visually engaging and intuitive journey through various audio applications, designed to resonate with a global audience seeking high standards in audio performance and design.

For the first time, the Sonance website integrates the complete James catalog, bringing together Sonance and James solutions as a unified family of brands. This consolidation creates a seamless experience for users, allowing them to explore an extensive range of audio products and solutions in one cohesive digital space.

The site launches as a sequel to the launch of the dealer portal, my.sonance.com, which was introduced two years ago. The portal has become a technical resource for dealers to access many of the brand’s SKU-level information, including specifications and documentation, and Sonance has been unlocking site enhancements since its release. Sonance and James dealers now have the portal as a technical resource and the main site to help reinforce brand messaging for their clients and trade partners.
