Historic buildings demand respect. Thick stone walls, fragile surfaces and strict preservation rules make conventional audio installations nearly impossible -especially when no visual compromise is allowed.
Yet modern spaces inside heritage architecture still require clarity, presence and emotional sound.
Cerasonar enables exactly that: fully invisible audio integration designed to disappear into the building, not compete with it.
INVISIBLE INTEGRATION FOR SENSITIVE RENOVATION PROJECTS
In heritage and renovation environments, every millimetre matters. Wall structures cannot be deeply modified, and visible technology is often not acceptable.
Instead of working against the architecture, cerasonar works within it—using ultra-shallow integration methods that preserve original structures while enabling modern audio performance.
The result is sound without visual impact, even in the most restricted installation spaces.
DESIGNED FOR MINIMAL DEPTH AND MAXIMUM DISCRETION
Where traditional loudspeakers fail due to depth limitations, Cerasonar provides a different approach: sound elements that become part of the surface itself.
This allows audio coverage in areas where conventional installations would normally be excluded—without changing the architectural character of the room.
ENGINEERED FOR RENOVATION-FRIENDLY CONSTRUCTION METHODS
Typical heritage retrofits avoid direct installation into masonry or historical substrates. Instead, a lightweight dry-construction layer is used:
A slim batten structure is applied to the existing wall, followed by a gypsum board finish. In selected zones, the acoustic system replaces sections of the surface layer - fully integrated, fully invisible after finishing.
No structural intervention. No visible hardware. No compromise on design integrity.
SOUND THAT RESPECTS HISTORY
Cerasonar is not about adding technology to architecture. It is about preserving the visual language of a space while upgrading its acoustic potential.
For heritage renovation projects, this means modern audio performance—without altering what makes the building unique.
ULTRA-SHALLOW PRECISION FOR COMPLEX SPACES
The cerasonar 4062 architect is designed specifically for these demanding renovation scenarios.
With a total installation depth of only 30 mm, it fits into constructions where every millimetre counts. Once finished, it becomes completely invisible—leaving only the architecture visible, not the technology behind it.
SCALABLE PERFORMANCE FOR FULL ARCHITECTURAL SOUND
For projects requiring extended low-frequency support, the system can be expanded with the cerasonar architect sub.
Combined with the cs-500dsp4 amplifier, the system delivers precise tuning and controlled dynamics tailored to architectural spaces—ensuring clarity, even in challenging acoustic environments.
Do you need help in selecting the right speakers, amplifiers and accessories?
Our team can recommend the ideal loudspeaker, amplifier and installation accessories for your hospitality project.
By defining a consistent acoustic and mechanical enclosure, the installation frame (backbox) for the cerasonar 4062 architect ensures predictable installation conditions and stable DSP performance specifically in drywall constructions.
The backbox is designed exclusively for suspended drywall applications. It provides a defined mounting and reference volume for the loudspeaker, ensuring that the system behaves exactly as intended within the calibrated DSP preset.
The loudspeaker is mounted centrally within the enclosure and fixed securely, while the surrounding structure allows precise integration of the gypsum board finish around the frame. This creates a clean, controlled installation geometry that supports consistent acoustic results.
Internal damping material (Basotect) is used to control internal reflections and stabilise acoustic behaviour inside the defined cavity. A dedicated cable grommet ensures clean routing and secure installation without compromising the enclosure integrity.
Overall, the system simplifies planning in drywall-based renovation and architectural projects, while ensuring repeatable installation quality and consistent audio performance in combination with the DSP-calibrated system design.
The cs-500dsp4 is a professional four-channel DSP amplifier designed to power and control the cerasonar architectural loudspeaker system, including the cerasonar 4062 architect and the cerasonar architect sub.
Supplied with dedicated cerasonar presets, it enables simplified commissioning, optimised system behaviour, and consistent acoustic performance across a wide range of architectural and commercial applications.
Its four-channel architecture allows flexible system configurations, from distributed multi-loudspeaker setups to compact high-performance configurations such as L/C/R plus subwoofer operation within a single amplification platform.
In addition, the cs-500dsp4 can be used as a DSP-controlled power amplifier stage for external AV preamplifiers or processors, making it a versatile solution for both integrated retail audio systems and high-end residential or hospitality installations.
Key benefits:
- Optimised DSP presets for Cerasonar architectural loudspeakers
- Flexible four-channel architecture for multi-speaker and subwoofer configurations
- Supports L/C/R + subwoofer setups within a single amplifier platform
- Can be used as a DSP-controlled power stage for AV systems
Scalable system architecture:
- Daisy-chain capability via audio output and input linking enables multi-amplifier system designs and larger distributed or zoned installations
System efficiency:
- Reduced installation and commissioning time through system-matched configuration
- Reliable performance for background music, architectural sound design, and immersive audio applications
This combination provides a scalable and highly flexible audio solution for boutique retail, luxury environments, hospitality spaces, and architectural AV projects, delivering precise control, consistent performance, and seamless system integration.
