The metal grille and the plastic rim of the speaker mounting can be customized by painting, and the fabric grille can be replaced by another fabric of the user’s choice.

The cloth grille, which completely hides the drivers from view, has two layers of double-knit fabric. Two types of grilles are available, cloth or perforated metal. Mounting brackets are available for installation in new construction or in existing walls. The entire speaker unit, only 3-3/8 inches deep, is designed to be installed between wall studs spaced on standard 16-inch centers. The drivers, together with their high-quality crossover network, are mounted on a rigid, molded white-plastic frame that is ribbed for strength. The 8-1/2-inch woofer crosses over to a 1-inch polycarbonate-dome tweeter at 2,500 Hz. The Sonance Model IV, which heads the Sonance speaker lineup, is a two-way system using imported Scandinavian drivers. The company currently manufactures several models, including a subwoofer, and markets a complete line of accessory products such as mounting hardware, brackets, volume controls, and switches. According to Sonance, it developed the first high-fidelity in-wall speaker system back in 1981. Sonance, a division of Dana Innovations, evolved from a company specializing in the design and installation of custom audio systems, and it has applied established hi-fi standards to the design of its line of inwall speakers.

With a single touch you can start the music, the light changes into an “atmosphere” scene, the curtains go down and the air conditioning system calms down for audition.Loudspeakers designed for permanent installation in a room’s walls used to be limited to providing background music in commercial locations such as restaurants and stores, but home hi-fi versions have appeared over the past few years and are now available from several reputable speaker manufacturers. The control interface of the audio and video systems is the same as the one of other functions of the house. In office buildings the classical function of public address can be converted into “ambient sound” improving the atmosphere for those who work there.

There are also solutions to have the smart TV in sight only when you want to watch something: TV mounts from the Italian manufacturer Maior, which lowers your TV from the ceiling at the push of a button. HD Television and lately the 3D movies available on new projectors allow an unique experience. Often these “technical” conditions significantly change the configuration of the furniture in the room. Speakers location and distances between them and the listener must be precisely defined to ensure optimum listening. Designing a modern living room must take these functionalities into account.

Surround home cinema systems realistically introduce you in the atmosphere of the movies. Each of these areas can be programmed to play independently or together, the sound on various audio sources (FM tuner, CD player, DVD player, TV, Ipod, Media Server, Internet Radio). Such a smart system has the ability to use and control multiple sources of music, for any of the building areas. In a smart home a “multizone” audio system offers the possibility of listening your favorite music no matter where you are in the house, without having to take with you your CD player or Ipod.
