What Sonitus does

Sonitus is an Italian professional audio-video technology integrator founded in 2002 and headquartered in Govone (Cuneo, Piedmont), formally incorporated as Sonitus s.r.l. Unipersonale in 2016. The company designs, installs, maintains, and rents integrated AV and ICT systems for venues, companies, and institutions across Italy, with additional offices in Montebelluna (Veneto), Porto Sant'Elpidio (Marche), and technical-commercial coverage in Milan, Padua, Trento, and Rome. Its service portfolio spans acoustic and architectural analysis, photorealistic system rendering, certified installation, 24/7 technical assistance with remote teleassistance, and short-term equipment rental for events. Customers include places of worship, theatres and auditoriums, corporate enterprises, municipalities, museums, and education institutions.

The company's technology stack combines in-house manufactured proprietary Two-Way Vertical Array column loudspeakers (five models: SA2/2, SA4/4, SA8/8, SA10/16, SA14/24HP) with third-party platforms including Yamaha professional audio, Samsung and LG displays, Epson laser projection, Absen LED walls, Maxhub interactive screens, Extron signal processing and control, Dahua and Ajax security, 3CX VoIP, and Crestron-style controllers. It also delivers bespoke furniture-integrated AV technology, immersive 3D videomapping, and streaming/broadcast systems compatible with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and Cisco Webex. ISO 9001:2015 certification was obtained in January 2024.

Sonitus monetises through four revenue streams: project-based system design and installation (professional services), recurring maintenance and 24/7 support contracts (subscription), short-term equipment rental and event service (managed services), and sale of its Sonitus-branded loudspeaker products (hardware). All sales are direct — handled by an in-house technical-commercial team distributed across regional offices; there are no reseller or marketplace channels, and pricing is bespoke per project with no published rate card. The company is privately held with a single shareholder, no disclosed external investors, and approximately 15–16 named staff led by CEO Riccardo Negro.
