The Sonance and Josh.ai Experience
As part of the Josh.ai Distributed AV workflow, Sonance DSP Amplifiers will auto-populate the Josh.ai web portal for configuration. Installers are then able to assign input sources and output zones across all of their DSP Amplifiers for music control throughout the home.
Sonance developed the award-winning TRUFIG mounting technology in 2008, and it has been consistently recognized for its creative approach to integrating technology with design. From material authenticity to the consistency of color and texture, every element of a Sonance TRUFIG mounted solution is systematically perfected to the smallest detail.
