Small Aperture (SA)

James (by Sonance) has always sought to push the envelope when it comes to better solutions through innovation, and nothing reflects that commitment like the Small Aperture® (SA) Series. These barely visible ultra-high-performance architectural speakers have been created to redefine the concept of a décor-matched entertainment system. The SA Series is unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard, reproducing sound with the refinement of a more costly studio monitor.

The engineering behind Small Aperture is the culmination of extensive hours in the lab and a relentless passion for the art of recreating sound. Each one of the SA Series models can be mounted either in-ceiling or in-wall, with only a relatively tiny opening exposed to the listener. To trim this opening, James (by Sonance) products offers a vast array of standard and custom finishes for the low-profile grille, which is available in 3-inch or 4-inch round or square flush mount style. (Now available with 3-inch Microperf grille.) Inside each of the SA speakers is a powerful yet compact subwoofer, coupled with a module that handles the midrange and high frequencies. We think the sound quality is nothing short of staggering, with detailed bass notes reaching down to 38 Hz and dispersion that covers a sizable area. We encourage anyone and everyone who loves music to audition the James (by Sonance) Small Aperture Series.

Small Aperture Series - SA68

James SA68 Small Aperture Series Speakers are designed to disappear into the architecture, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the space while delivering professional audio performance. The advanced materials and design ensure the highest performance and aesthetic for spaces with refined details and expectations. With marine-grade construction, thin ply carbon driver construction, and trim options with eight standard finishes, James SA68 is the flagship for luxury audio design.

Small Aperture Module

The James SA68 features an integrated ultra-high fidelity 6.5” woofer and 2” full range module, both leveraging thin ply carbon to achieve superior performance. Thin ply carbon is an exclusive material only used for the most demanding engineering applications. The thin construction allows for layering that can strengthen the cone while maintaining control of the weight and geometry.
