For the best possible sound and installation flexibility we recommend Sonance amplifiers to power the system.

2. Name each zone and select the following option for each.

a)     Name each Zone e.g. Bedrooms, Kitchen, Dining Room, etc.

b)     Ceiling height

c)     Select a product series for each zone

d)     Type in the desired model, if you are unsure we will select an appropriate model that best matches the project's budget

e)     Select a shape. In-ceiling square requires the use of square adaptors, except for VP Cinema (Some options may not apply)

f)      Select an accessory, if any (*Fire Rated Backcans require Flex brackets)

g)     Select a subwoofer option (Some options may not apply)

h)     List any budget constraints

1. Name each zone and select the following option for each.

a)     Name each Zone e.g. Pool, Patio, Fire Pit, etc. (Each zone should match to what has been provided in the landscape plans.)

b)     Select a product line for each zone

• LS4T/LS12T System: For lower playback volumes, smaller areas, smaller footprints, and budgets.
• LS4T/LS15T System: For moderate playback volumes, moderate size areas and flexible budgets
• LS6T/LS12T System: For higher playback volumes, larger areas and higher budgets.
• LS6T/LS15T System: For the highest fidelity, volume output, bass extension, and high budgets

c)     Select a subwoofer option (Some options may not apply)

d)     Select a mounting option (Some options may not apply)

e)     List any budget constraints 

3. Ratio

The typical system package consists of 8 satellite speakers to 1 subwoofer, which will cover approximately 2000 square feet. However, the ideal satellite speaker to subwoofer ratio is 2 subwoofers to every 8 satellite speakers - one dedicated to the left channel and one dedicated to the right channel.

a)     Name each zone for independent volume control, such as Dining Room, Bar Area, Reception Area, etc.

b)     Enter a ceiling height for each zone (if using Pendants, enter the desired hanging height of the speaker if known)

c)     Select a product line

d)     Type in the desired model, if you are unsure we will select an appropriate model that best matches the project's budget, taking into account the size of the room, listener location and desired Sound Pressure Level

e)     Select an accessory (Applies to in-ceiling models only)

f)     Select a Subwoofer Option, if any

g)     Select an amp type

h)     List any budget constraints

Drawings:

To provide the best service possible, please provide the following:

For Sonance Architectural Series/VP DOS System, Visual Performance and Professional Series, we will need the project’s Reflected Ceiling Plan or Lighting Plan. This plan will be used to accurately integrate the speakers’ with the lighting fixtures.

For Sonance Landscape Series, we prefer the project’s Landscape Plan so we can see where the Satellites and Subwoofer can be placed or mounted.

Also, provide two versions of the plan:

The first version should be ‘unmarked’ or blank, without any zone(s) highlighted or notes. It will be used for the actual speaker layout and should include useable scale ratio or one accurate dimension so we can develop a scale ratio.

The second version should include notes about the design and show zone boundaries clearly highlighted, indicating where each zone starts and stops. This will greatly aid us in the design process and help improve our design accuracy.
