About Sonance

"Sonance is based firmly in the belief that technology should be designed to disappear. It began in 1983 when founders Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer introduced the world’s first in-wall loudspeaker. This approach of leading with design led to many more “firsts” and a proud heritage of innovation, continually Reimagining Sound. These are the things that have inspired a philosophy that continues to drive the company’s brands today: that technology can, and should, blend in with the architecture and interior design of any space." – Sonance
