Sonance Adds WAVE Electronics As Full Line Distributor

September 2024, Sonance, recognized as a world leader in the design and marketing of luxury distributed audio systems, has selected WAVE Electronics, a TX-based distribution firm with locations in TX, LA, AZ, FL, to bolster their growth and support of the luxury CI Channel.

"Wave is thrilled to announce our expanded partnership with Sonance, bringing together their cutting-edge technology and our innovative solutions to redefine the future of audio experiences,” Ainslie Fukuda. CPO at WAVE Electronics, commented. “This collaboration marks a significant leap forward in delivering unparalleled quality and performance to our customers, setting a new standard in the industry."

The Sonance & WAVE partnership has been strategically positioned to influence integrators in the market with little exposure to the Sonance brand. To accelerate and deepen this influence, Sonance has pulled in Steve Scharp, owner of Global Solutions AV. Steve and his team will provide tactical leadership and support for WAVE branches in partnership with the local Sonance representative as this enhanced partnership gets underway.

"With this new expanded partnership with Sonance, WAVE continues to underscore our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our dealers, across all of the business segments critical to WAVE customers,” Bryan Stewart, CSO at WAVE Electronics, said. “Our continued collaboration with Sonance ensures that our customers will benefit from the highest quality and most advanced technology available in the market and depth of inventory support."

Jason Sloan, CRO – Residential for Sonance, added: “Empowering WAVE as a full line distributor was the natural next step in Sonance & WAVE’s decade long partnership. Expanding the Sonance line, including Visual Experience, new Mariner MX Series, and Sonance Landscape Series, to WAVE’s already strong CI portfolio of products, will only serve to solidify WAVE Electronics’ position as a leading one-stop-shop destination for dealers.”

About Sonance

Sonance was founded in 1983 by Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer, who introduced the world’s first in-wall loudspeaker. This achievement led to many more “firsts” and a proud heritage of innovation. It also inspired a philosophy that continues to drive the company’s brands today: that technology can and should blend in with architecture and great design.

Building on the well-established foundation of a Heritage of Innovation, Sonance now includes the craftsmanship and customizability of the James Loudspeaker brand, and the durability and elegance of the IPORT brand. Each of these industry-leading brands follows the Sonance philosophy, unlocking an even greater range of solutions, each meticulously designed to disappear. Their combined efforts deliver solutions that go beyond expectation and beyond just audio. Sonance, James Loudspeaker, and IPORT deliver solutions for elevating the way technology is experienced in residential and commercial spaces.

It is through this consistent promise that Sonance has cultivated long-standing, authentic partnerships with leading architects, interior design professionals, custom installers, design-conscious consumers and end-users, from their home base in San Clemente, California and throughout the world.
