SM55, SM55 SST specifications

The Sonance SM55 and SM55 SST are high-performance architectural speakers designed to blend seamlessly into any environment while delivering exceptional sound quality. These models are particularly favored in both residential and commercial installations, where aesthetics and acoustics are paramount.

One of the standout features of the SM55 is its robust design, which includes a pivoting 1-inch soft-dome tweeter that allows for precise sound dispersion. This feature enables the speaker to deliver crisp and clear high frequencies, ensuring that every note in music or dialogue in film is rendered with excellence. The tweeter's pivot allows for greater flexibility in placement, making it easier to direct sound toward the listening area.

The SM55 series is equipped with a 5.5-inch polypropylene cone woofer. This woofer provides a rich and detailed mid-bass response essential for a full-bodied audio experience. The materials used in the construction of the woofer also contribute to reduced distortion, ensuring that the sound remains clean even at higher volume levels.

Additionally, the SM55 and SM55 SST incorporate Sonance's proprietary technologies aimed at optimizing performance. The speaker features a dual voice coil design that enhances its ability to handle higher power levels, making them suitable for both casual listening and more intensive audio experiences. Moreover, the SST version comes with a high-output transformer, allowing for easy integration into distributed audio systems. This transformer supports both 70V and 100V installations, making the SM55 SST ideal for commercial settings where long runs of speaker wire are necessary.

Installation of the SM55 series is made easy with a simple, low-profile design that includes a magnetic grille. The grille can be painted to match any interior decor, making it a versatile option for a variety of applications. The speaker's low-profile appearance ensures that it does not detract from the design of the room, providing a visually appealing audio solution.

In summary, the Sonance SM55 and SM55 SST speakers combine state-of-the-art technologies with user-friendly features to create an exceptional listening experience. Their rich sound profile, ease of integration, and aesthetic adaptability make them a prime choice for anyone seeking high-quality architectural speakers. Whether in a home theater or a commercial space, the SM55 series is engineered to meet and exceed the expectations of both audio enthusiasts and casual listeners alike.
