Cabinet Subwoofer Wireless Transmitter

Post date December 5, 2022

Cabinet Subwoofer Wireless Transmitter

The Sonance Wireless Transmitter is designed to work with the Sonance Impact and D8 subwoofers. With a range of 30′ the transmitter provides the ability to place your subwoofer where it looks and sounds best in the room.

Place it anywhere you'd like

With a 30′ range the wireless transmitter allows you to place your Sonance Cabinet Subwoofer wherever you want it.

Simple set up

The new Impact and D8 subwoofers come with built in wireless receivers. With the addition of the Sonance Wireless Transmitter, set up is as simple as the press of two buttons. Download the Quickstart Guide for more information.

For subwoofers that require wireless transmission but do not have it built in, Sonance also offers the Sonance Wireless Transmitter and Receiver as a complete package. See the Receiver and Transmitter Quickstart Guide for full installation details.

Reliable Signal Transmission

Sonance uses a tri-band design which operates in 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz. Audio signals stream completely uncompressed up to 192kHz/24-bit for superior sound. The Sonance Wireless Transmitter is highly resistant to Bluetooth, dual-band Wi-Fi, and microwave interference and has a short response time latency; less than 20 ms.

DIGITAL MULTI-CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS

Post date October 25, 2022

Electronics Series

POWERFUL PERFORMANCE

The latest digital amplifier models from Sonance feature a 50% larger power supply than the competition to deliver up to 200 Watts per channel when bridged. Their robust power supply allows for more dynamic power and astonishing performance.

SIMPLE SETUP

We believe that audio should be easy to use. That is why the Sonance 8-50 and 16-50 amplifiers have been designed with accessible level controls and DIP switches per zone.

FLEXIBLE FEATURES

Each Sonance digital amplifier includes two Bus inputs with a pass through feature to allow multiple amplifiers to be linked. The Bus A includes a Subwoofer Output with a selectable crossover filter to support a separately powered subwoofer. The Bus allows the output to be looped into a local channel or bridged, and send a high powered low frequency signal directly to a passive subwoofer. The Bus inputs can also be selectively mixed with local inputs for applications like doorbell signal or paging.
