Sonance Invisible Series · Kansas City.
IntegrateIT is an authorized Sonance dealer installing the Invisible Series (IS2, IS4, IS8) across the Kansas City metro — speakers that mount behind drywall and disappear entirely, mostly on architect-led builds. We coordinate directly with your interior designer, architect and builder so the speakers integrate cleanly into the wall finish.
Why architects and designers specify Sonance Invisible
- Zero visual footprint. Once skim-coated and painted, the IS speaker is invisible. No grille, no bezel. Ceilings, walls, and millwork stay as the architect drew them.
- Acoustically transparent finish. Sonance ships with a proprietary skim-coat compound that lets sound pass through without colorization. Painted to match the wall in any finish (flat, eggshell, satin).
- Coordinated rough-in. We meet with the framing crew, drywaller and painter to sequence the install. The back-cans land during framing, speakers go in after rocker and tape, skim coat happens before primer.
- Multi-brand ecosystem fit. The IS speakers integrate with Control4, Crestron, Sonos, or a standalone amp and Lutron HomeWorks lighting scene controller. Whatever the control plane, IS works.
Common questions
What is the Sonance Invisible Series?
Sonance Invisible Series (IS2, IS4, IS8) is a speaker line designed to mount inside the wall cavity behind drywall — once skim-coated and painted, the speaker is acoustically transparent but visually invisible. No grille, no bezel, no visible hardware. The IS2 sits behind 1/4"-1/2" of skim-coat compound; the larger IS4 and IS8 require a thicker compound layer. Used in spaces where the design intent is "no visible electronics" — gallery-style great rooms, primary suites, theaters with millwork ceilings.
How much does a Sonance Invisible install cost in Kansas City?
It depends on how many zones, the finishing work each wall needs, and the amplification behind them. The cost difference versus visible speakers is mostly labor — the drywall finish coordination is precise work. We give a fixed price after a no-cost site walk.
Why pick invisible speakers over in-ceiling or in-wall with grilles?
Two reasons. (1) Design intent — interior designers and architects increasingly specify "no visible electronics" as a non-negotiable, and IS speakers solve it. (2) Acoustic — IS speakers vent through the wall cavity itself, which can sound surprisingly good.
Do you coordinate with my interior designer or architect on Sonance Invisible installs?
Yes — this is one of the projects that genuinely requires the design team in the room. The IS speaker locations need to align with the wall framing, the electrical rough-in needs to leave space for the back-can, and the drywall sequence matters: rock, tape, speakers in, skim coat, primer. We do design-development meetings with the architect, interior designer and builder so the IS speakers integrate cleanly. We also handle Lutron Caseta or HomeWorks lighting design alongside, which is usually being specified at the same time.
Can you install Sonance Invisible in an existing home, or only new construction?
Both, but the workflow differs. New construction is ideal — we run the wiring and place the back-cans during the framing phase, the rocker finishes around them. Retrofit installs require cutting and patching drywall around each speaker location; the patch lands flush with the IS skim-coat finish so the cosmetic outcome is identical to new construction. Retrofit adds patching labor at each speaker, but the end result is the same.
