Wealthy home owners are no different from the rest of us in

viewing the garden as an extension of home design - they

just have more to spend on it. If you’re wielding powerful

technologies to deliver brilliant utility and invisible integration

inside the property, the client will almost certainly be ready

and willing to expand outside, where the motivation to enjoy,

socialise and impress is just as strong. At this time of year,

when upmarket garden centres are brimming with excuses to

get outdoors and entertain you’ll be giving the client another

one, and Habitech is ready to share in the challenge.

Our leading loudspeaker brand Sonance has the widest

choice of high performance garden speakers for every

application and budget, now incorporated under the ‘Outdoor’

range banner. It includes a peerless good/better/best product

hierarchy, backed by the value-added quality of Habitech

supply and support, including design services and free-of-

charge loan systems.

Make it GoodNear the home or outbuildings, around the

pool or patio areas, great sound and versatility

come as standard. For instance, your clients

will love the experience of stepping outside

to enjoy consistent VP sound quality and

luxuriously discreet looks. The VP Extreme

range of in-wall all-weather models offers the

character of the interior VP speakers but is

engineered with samarium cobalt magnets

and 316L stainless steel to withstand the

rigours of fresh and salt water environments at

temperatures ranging from -30°C to +79°C.

They’re as easily at home near a

volcanic spring in Iceland as they

are by the pool or Jacuzzi in Hemel

Hempstead. Put them to the test!

Alternatively, surface mount great

sound using the durable Mariner range

of tough, paintable, sealed polypropylene

enclosures in 8”, 6.5” and 5.25” versions.

They offer a wide degree of pivot from

any exterior surface using a patented

FastMount push-and-lock bracket

system, which eliminates clumsy threaded

knobs and guards against theft.

You also have the option to spread the

sound quality to adjacent flower beds

or rockeries as well with the super-

durable Sonance Rock satellites

and sub. Regardless of

terrain, the Sonance Outdoor

range allows you to design

discreet, wideband, weather-

fast sound. And we’re just

scraping the surface…

Make it Even BetterIn to the garden proper, the excellent SonArray package

has the form-factor of the high-end Landscape models

at a more accessible price. It’s an easy-to-install sat/sub

system, designed for uniform sound coverage and, to keep

the neighbours happy, minimal sonic overspill. Of course the

audio specs aren’t as supreme as those of the Landscape

The Sonance Outdoor range has the widest choice of all-weather speaker options

If garden space is the final frontier for CI, the Sonance ‘Outdoor’

range will help you to install the greatest sound on earth. Habitech’s

series but, at a fraction of cost, the appeal is clear. You’ll

get eight distinctive satellites, and an 8” dual voice-coil

underground subwoofer - all merchandised in a single carton.

The SonArray is capable of detailed, evenly distributed audio

in outdoor spaces up to 185m², and presents an easy 8ohm

load for any standard amplifier. It installs in a simple daisy-

chain configuration, with the subwoofer connected to both

channels. The bijou horn-shaped SonArray SR1 speakers are

discreet enough to be located under plants or foliage, so the

system won’t compromise garden design.

Ultimate OutdoorUp in scale from SonArray, the supercharged Landscape

Series High Output (HO) models are designed for large

residential installations. Following the same sat/sub

configuration but with up-scaled audio potential, the range of

4/6/8 inch diameter satellites and 10/12/15 inch underground

subs combine in three compatible 70V systems of multiple

speaker arrays, daisy-chained for ease of installation and

scalability. Although you’ll need a digger for the big subs,

there’s a JCB-free alternative in the form of a 10-inch

‘Hardscape’ subwoofer, designed to be integrated with patio

furniture or planter boxes.

All Landscape systems deliver an audiophile-quality

sound field with minimal hot spots and dead zones in any

landscape at extremely high sound pressure levels, and

they’re built to survive abuse from boot or strimmer without a

scratch. The systems are unashamedly top dollar, but when

your richest clients place the look and functionality of their

gardens on a par with their interior spaces, the Landscape

series offers you the chance to capitalise.

Where there’s a garden…Be in no doubt, there’s cash in every manicured border.

Recently we’ve worked with our integrators to design and

complete a £250,000 garden installation using buried

Landscape elements, and a swanky Kensington roof terrace

utilising the ‘Hardscape’ sub and surface-mount adaptors for

the Landscape Satellites. It’s time to explore the last reserve

of untapped potential in home entertainment with the brilliantly

versatile Sonance ‘Outdoor’ range - no exterior space is

beyond its capabilities. Ask about our design services and

demo systems and together we’ll grow new business.
