Sonance Professional has announced the Professional Series High Output Loudspeaker family for commercial environments requiring higher SPL, controlled coverage and high speech intelligibility.
The family line-up includes pendant, surface mount, blind-mount in-ceiling, and two-piece in-ceiling models. Every loudspeaker combines an 8-inch woofer with a coaxially mounted 1.4-inch compression driver, providing the output and clarity needed for foreground music and open microphone applications. With low-frequency extension to 41Hz, many applications can be completed without additional subwoofers, simplifying system design and installation.
A feature of the compression driver-based line is Variable Dispersion Technology, which allows designers and installers to select between 120° and 80° dispersion patterns to optimise coverage for both low- and high-ceiling applications. This is achieved through a magnetically interchangeable horn and collar assembly that can be reconfigured in the field without any special tools. A two-position switch optimises the crossover for whichever dispersion configuration is selected, ensuring consistent sonic performance in either mode.
‘This new High Output family brings a new level of performance and flexibility to our Professional Series’ says Mike Sonntag, Chief Revenue Officer at Sonance Commercial. ‘Combined with recent introduction of PowerZone Connect PRO amplifiers, integrators now have a complete Sonance solution for demanding commercial audio systems.’
Every model shares the same acoustic voicing, allowing designers to mix pendant, surface mount, and in-ceiling loudspeakers throughout a project while maintaining a consistent listening experience. The surface mount model further extends deployment into covered outdoor environments with an IPX4 rating.
That flexibility carries through to installation – the two-piece in-ceiling model supports rough-in during early construction, allowing the backcan to be installed well before finish work. Across the family, integrated 70V/100V transformers with up to 120W taps, 8Ω bypass, UL1480A compliance, and UL2043 certification on in-ceiling models simplify specification across a wide range of commercial projects.
Professional Series High Output Loudspeakers extend Sonance’s professional audio offering to include convention centers, ballrooms, houses of worship, fitness facilities, sports bars, hospitality venues, retail environments and other commercial spaces with high ceilings or challenging acoustics.
