SONANCE - SOUNDS OF AFRICA

Discreet Sound. Powerful Performance.

At Sounds of Africa, we believe great sound should be felt and heard — not always seen. That’s why we love working with Sonance. Known for their ability to blend into a space without compromising sound quality, they are the world leader in architectural audio. Whether it’s a luxury home, a high-end restaurant, a boutique hotel, or a corporate space, their products deliver immersive, evenly balanced sound with a clean, unobtrusive look.

A Brand Built for Design and Performance

Sonance was founded in California in 1983 with a clear vision: create speakers that sound incredible but disappear into their surroundings. They pioneered the in-wall and in-ceiling speaker category, transforming how architects, interior designers, and audio professionals think about sound. Their products have won multiple awards for both sound engineering and design innovation. At SOA, we choose Sonance for clients who want the perfect marriage of aesthetics and performance.

Why SOA Chooses Sonance

We’ve tested and installed countless speaker brands, but Sonance consistently stands out for:

Discreet Appearance – blends seamlessly into walls, ceilings, and landscapes.
Even Coverage – no hot spots or dead zones, just balanced sound everywhere.
Weatherproof Solutions – ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Scalability – from small spaces to large commercial venues.
Premium Build Quality – reliable in all environments.

When our clients need sound that complements a design vision, Sonance is the brand we trust.

Luxury Homes

For our Residential Audio Installations, their products are popular among homeowners and designers.

Their in-ceiling and in-wall speakers can disappear behind paintable grilles, or be completely hidden using their Invisible Series. This allows beautiful interiors to remain uncluttered while still delivering audiophile-grade sound. You can enjoy music in the living room, home cinema-quality audio in the media room, and relaxing playlists on the patio — all with the same seamless design.

Hospitality Spaces

Hotels, restaurants, and lounges demand a specific balance: immersive audio without overpowering conversation. Sonance excels in these spaces.

Restaurants

For Restaurant Audio Solutions, Sonance ceiling speakers deliver warm, detailed sound evenly throughout the space. Customers enjoy the ambience without straining to speak.

Hotels

In Hotel Sound Installations, Sonance discreetly fills lobbies, spas, and conference rooms with clear, consistent sound. Guests can enjoy background music without noticing where it’s coming from.

Outdoor Performance with Sonance

One of Sonance’s biggest strengths is their outdoor audio range. Their Landscape Series uses satellite speakers and hidden subwoofers to create immersive soundscapes that cover large gardens, pool areas, and courtyards.

These systems are weather-resistant, delivering the same performance in rain or shine. At SOA, we’ve used Sonance in outdoor areas in particular for a high end Coffee Shop.

Designed to Disappear

For clients who want sound without seeing speakers, Sonance offers the Invisible Series. These speakers are installed into walls or ceilings and then finished over with plaster, paint, or wallpaper. The result? The sound seems to come from nowhere, yet it’s powerful, clear, and evenly distributed. This technology is a game changer for Architectural Sound Design projects.

Sonance in Corporate Environments

Boardrooms, offices, and co-working spaces benefit from clear, controlled audio. Their products make it possible to have professional-grade sound without visible equipment cluttering the workspace. Whether it’s background music in a reception area or a full conferencing system in a meeting room, Sonance integrates seamlessly.

Want a design-led audio solution.
