When Sonance introduced the very first in-wall speaker for residential installations more than 25 years ago, they forever changed the relationship between audio and interior design. Ever since, Sonance has led the way, continually establishing new standards for design and performance in audio systems that literally disappear into the walls.

Despite the legions of imitators who followed their lead, the appearance of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers has not changed. All flush-mount speakers have shared a common design theme: the grille and accompanying wide plastic trim have made them all look very much the same.


The new Moderno series — exclusively available at Best Buy — changes all that. These elegant new in-wall and in-ceiling speakers sport a new, low-profile grille with a slender trim that makes traditional flush-mount speakers look old and obsolete. Paintable, highly opaque grilles blend invisibly into any designed space — and with no separate flange, the grille is paintable in a single step, greatly simplifying the process. It then mounts quickly and easily onto the speaker with magnets, for a simple and secure fit.


Unlike many competitors' products, the Moderno line was designed entirely in-house at their state-of-the-art facility. The staff of industry-leading mechanical and acoustic engineers developed these speakers using the latest computer-assisted design software. Hand-built prototypes were then rigorously evaluated both on- and off-axis in an anechoic chamber to ensure high performance regardless of placement and room acoustics.

Finally, the prototypes were painstakingly voiced in an acoustically-neutral listening room by engineers
with decades of experience in the art of speaker design. Driver and crossover components were carefully chosen to create speakers that not only measure to the highest technical standards, but truly involve the listener in the experience over an extended period — without the ear fatigue that plagues lesser designs.


Moderno in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are offered in a variety of sizes, styles and configurations to suit any need. From rectangular and round models with pivoting tweeters for optimal dispersion to a dual-voice coil/dual-tweeter model that's perfect for hallways, there's a combination of Moderno speakers that will bring exquisite audio, invisibly, to any space in your home.
