Our company came to life in 1983 when founders Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer recognized the need for a groundbreaking new audio solution. No product or system existed that could deliver unsurpassed acoustic performance with minimal visual intrusion. It was this revelation that led them to invent the category of architectural speakers. And the rest is history. Today, we are still independently owned and operated, and headquartered in San Clemente, California, where it all began. We’ve worked hard to build an unmatched reputation when it comes to speakers, but we’ve also created a range of innovative, aesthetically-conscious home and business technology solutions that go far beyond sound. There are three simple principles that inform everything we do and make. These ideas represent the beliefs that inspired our beginning and still hold true to this day: Create products that are designed to disappear. We believe technology should disappear into architecture. This simple philosophy continues to inspire everything we do. Our hidden audio solutions deliver an even, balanced sound experience that is nothing short of magical, blending into and style, installation, or budget. Cultivate authentic partnerships. Every day at our home base in San Clemente, CA, you will find passionate, immensely knowledgeable people forging some of the strongest relationships in our industry. From our customer-centric culture to our not-to-be-missed Studio Seminars, we aim to define what authentic partnership looks like. Connecting our strategy and products to your company, we help unlock the most value possible for your business. Our team is your team. Build upon our strong heritage of innovation. The history of our independently-owned company is rooted in a deep knowledge of our customers and construction. From high-performance, award-winning audio solutions to our unique TRUFIG mounting technology to innovative IPORT products that hold, charge and protect tablets, customers rely on our culture of creativity to continue to push the boundaries of technology and design. We invite you to connect with our team, learn more about all of our products, or even plan a visit to see it all for yourself. Discover what we mean when we say SONANCE: Beyond Sound.
