New Audio Experience in Luxury London SOFTWARE , HARDWARE & SYSTEMS
Flagship hotel development completes the ambience of luxury with the seamless magic of Sonance invisible speakers
Located at the northern edge of London ’ s Belgravia on Grosvenor Place , overlooking Buckingham Palace Garden , The Peninsula London is a five-star flagship hotel development scheduled to open in September 2022 . The hotel ’ s owners , architects and developers have devoted their combined energies toward curating the most pristine and exquisite guest experience possible . And not just by divining an ambience of luxury “ befitting one of London ’ s most celebrated addresses ”, but in the subtlest ways as well .
As the world ’ s most experienced hotel design professionals understand , it ’ s often the smallest discoveries that make for the most joyous and memorable experiences . Which is why the team at Peninsula London chose Sonance invisible speakers for high-quality audio in all the bedrooms and communal areas . Concealed behind a thin layer of plaster , Sonance invisible speakers create the magical effect of music and speech appearing to float in the air without any obvious source . The new audio system involves no fewer than 496 individual elements . of dedicated research and proprietary measurement tools to develop the new ‘ Motion Flex ’ invisible models . Within conventional designs , there ’ s nothing to stop waves from the mid driver interfering with those from the bass driver on the same radiating diaphragm . For the Motion Flex models , Sonance has found a way to isolate these discrete wave patterns from each other , delivering significantly lower levels of distortion and coloration , and a new performance benchmark for invisible speaker design .
As Habitech ’ s Market Development Manager Jane Anstead says : “ The highest-end hospitality seeks to attract the world ’ s most discerning customers by making the quality of luxury as tangible and memorable as possible in ever more inspirational ways . When even the richest clients associate sound with speakers , the magic of seemingly sourcefree full-range audio from completely invisible ones is another way for hotels and restaurants to differentiate the quality of their customer experiences .”

However , a technological breakthrough from America ’ s leading architectural speaker maker has found a way to deliver the fullrange fidelity of a high-quality traditional speaker from a completely invisible one . It ’ s taken two years
