ARCHITETTURA SONORA

SOUND MATTERS

ARCHITECTS OF SOUND At Architettura Sonora we shape technology to merge sound and design in their most beautiful synergy. Born in 2009 as a division of one of the top professional loudspeakers manufactorers, B&C Speakers, Architettura Sonora drew together a creative team of acousticians, engineers, architects and landscape designers sharing the same enthusiastic vision to rethink the way acoustic speakers had been conceived and created until then. Sound is a fundamental feature of our spatial experiences. We investigated how Sound interacts with the environment and the different materials,...

Immersive audio grants life-like sound while listening to music, watching movies or playing games, allowing the listener to enjoy smooth and uniform volume levels, perfect tonal balance, and clear, natural vocals. Our technicians work alongside landscape designers and architects, carefully assessing our clients’ space and requirements to provide the highest standards of immersive sound.

Every project is carefully assessed to match and cohere with the architectural style and acoustic environment. We work together with the client to select the most appropriate materials and obtain the most clear and natural sound with aesthetically outstanding design.

AS speakers adapt with ease to any kind of environment, though it is outdoors, where their potential can be fully appreciated, reproducing a highly reliable “High Fidelity en plein air”. The constant technological research in audio design and architecture, followed by long and thorough testing and certification phase in critical environments, make Architettura Sonora the ideal partner for applications in any atmospheric condition.

AS offers endless design possibilities through a wide selection of materials and finishes, providing a truly bespoke solution for the most diverse audio requirements and environments. Materiality in AS Speakers extends far beyond physical matter, broadly encompassing the emotional field to a tactile experience of sound and space, features rarely associated with speaker design.

Each Architettura Sonora speaker is unique. We extract the natural materials from the earth, so it is impossible to find matching pieces. The types of stone, concrete or terracotta we use are an essential part of the sound that our Speakers emit. Marble, Concrete, Terracotta, Granite and every material we use are carefully selected for being excellent sound vehicles, adapting and reacting differently depending on the type of environment and audio requirements.

ICARUS ICARUS is our newest range of AS speakers designed by architect Giulia Archimede, conceived to offer highly customised solutions for the most diverse and challenging audio demands. The orchestration of different Icarus speakers meets any requirement. Immersive audio in adjacent rooms. Directional sound in specic areas, outdoor or indoor. Immersive audio that doesn’t bother the neighborhood. Icarus seamlessly integrates within any space maximising its potential.

ICARUS_ STAND-ALONE The ICARUS_STAND-ALONE provides an all-in-one solution, offering an extra wide coverage in a visually elegant and refined audio system. Icarus is composed of a high performing and compact subwoofer, supporting a metal frame with two satellites that can be calibrated in terms of emission width, thanks to their adjustable mechanics. This ultra-compact system delivers a crystal-clear sound produced by the two adjustable 3.5” satellites supported by a deep, uncompressed bass, even at high output levels, released by its 8-inch woofer.

ICARUS_ M U LT I S TA N D The ICARUS_MULTI series denotes a sub-family characterized by the presence of a double 2” diffuser that, thanks to the use of special joints, can be adjusted according to the needs. When supported by a subwoofer, the whole Icarus Multi series reaches excellent acoustic performances across the whole range.

ICARUS_ M U LT I G R O U N D ICARUS_MULTIGROUND is specifically created for a perfect integration with the surrounding outdoor environment, for it can be installed directly in the ground. Thanks to its special stand (with a special stabilizing plate), ICARUS_MULTIGROUND can be positioned very easily in the grass or among hedges.

ICARUS_ SUB ICARUS_SUB is easily placed everywhere, indoor and outdoor. Featuring longer wavelengths and low-end frequencies, it allows the sound to pass through most obstacles. This powerful subwoofer was specifically designed to complete the Icarus family satellites and offer a solid support to any kind of low-frequency need. However, its strong capabilities can be paired with the whole range of AS models.
