In years past, having music in every room meant having audio equipment in that space. In the 1990s, speakers built into ceilings and walls—often called architectural speakers—became popular in larger homes, offering the ability to distribute music to many rooms from a central system. Initially, architectural speakers weren’t a match for their freestanding counterparts. Many were excellent for background music, but not quite up to the level for more critical listening. Over time, these speakers advanced with innovative design and installation features that vastly improved the audio experience. 

Starting about 15 years ago, the pendulum swung back to an audio system in every room. Why? Digital audio and networking made it possible to place a connected, all-in-one speaker in any room with just an electrical plug needed, while internet connectivity and digital formats made it easy to access music and play it anywhere. Is there a problem with that solution, you might ask? No, but that approach has several limitations. To explain why, Sonance, one of the earliest pioneers in architectural audio, has created the Sonance Design Gallery—a place where Santa Rosa Beach homeowners can understand the new and wide array of options in built-in audio and learn how to create a more immersive, customized audio experience for their Florida home. Let’s explore what you can learn from the gallery in more detail below.
