Architectural Series
Product Guide
Sonance Architectural Series The Sonance Architectural Series delivers unprecedented sound quality via a revolutionary system approach to distributed audio. It comprises systems of ultra-discreet 3.5” and 6.5” satellites and matching bandpass subwoofers flush-mounted on patented mounting platforms to deliver completely precise alignment with light fittings and other ceiling features. Totally flush and bezel-less grilles disappear into the surrounding ceiling surface while state-of-the-art driver materials and cuttingedge design deliver the ultimate blend of versatility, high audio performance and premium aesthetics.
Features Precision Finish Precision engineered Mounting Platforms provide flexibility to align with light fixtures or ceiling features and deliver the highest quality result in drywall, plaster, wood, and other solid surfaces.
Consistent high quality audio distribution The unique system design (Satellite Speakers and Subwoofers) provides a better finished aesthetic than traditional larger loudspeakers while delivering superior sound coverage and sonic performance.
Supreme Aesthetics The 3.5” Architectural Series Discreet Opening System exactly matches the footprint of small aperture downlights for minimal distraction, maximum performance. Its AS38RS satellite speakers and BPS6 subwoofer utilise the same sized paintable round or square grilles to deliver a consistent and minimalistic aesthetic. The Architectural Series Medium Speakers (AS68RS satellites and BPS8 subwoofer) are the perfect solution for large spaces, high ceilings, or anyone seeking higher volume levels without compromising the aesthetics of the designed space.

Sonance Architectural Series
Installation Perfect Alignment In-Ceiling Sonance Architectural Series’ patented Mounting Platforms feature exclusive technology and trade-familiar installation processes, to ensure a precise result is always achieved.
Plasterboard (Drywall & Plaster) Drywall and plaster Mounting Platforms are installed as part of the ceiling and finished with the surrounding surface. The precision-engineered design ensures a perfect reveal is always achieved.
Wood, Stone and More Solid Surface Mounting Platforms are specifically designed to deliver a repeatable, perfect result in tongue-ingroove, wood paneling and stone. The adjustable design provides flexibility to accommodate a variety of material thicknesses, while the engineered installation process ensures a totally professional finish.
Precision Grille Levelling The precision grille levelling system ensures a perfectly flush installation with the surrounding ceiling surface, eliminating unsightly shadow lines and minimizing distraction.

Sonance Architectural Series State-of-the-Art Materials and Design The AS38RS & AS68RS feature cutting edge design and state-of-the-art materials including a ceramic dome Tweeter and high-excursion carbon fibre and Rohacell woofer to deliver uncompromised sonic performance.
Architectural Series come in two sized speakers… Architectural Series Discreet Opening System Consists of small 3½“ satellite speakers (AS38RS) matched with a powerful Band Pass Subwoofer (BPS6). It delivers unprecedented sound quality via a revolutionary system approach to distributed audio. The finished product exactly matches the footprint of small aperture downlights for minimal distraction and maximum performance. The bass is provided by a separate BPS6 6” Band Pass Subwoofer which ports through the same sized and shape grille as the satellite speakers.
Continuous Sight Lines Discreet Opening System grilles are the exact dimension of small aperture downlights, delivering continuous sight-lines across the ceiling.
AS Medium Speakers Architectural Series Medium Speakers (AS68RS) are larger full range 6½” Speakers – they are the perfect solution for large spaces, high ceilings, or anyone seeking higher volume levels without compromising the aesthetics of the designed space.
Serious Bass Response For the AS68RS, the optional BPS8 Bandpass Subwoofer features a dual voicecoil 8" (203mm) high excursion carbon fibre and Rohacell driver, to deliver unequalled bass response.
