Our Founders, Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer
Over 40 years ago, Scott Struthers and Geoff Spencer set out to challenge the status quo – asking a simple yet powerful question: “Why not do it better”
That question sparked the founding of Sonance, where they pioneered the world’s first in-wall speakers — blending high-performance audio with architectural design. Their drive to innovate didn’t stop there. At Trufig, they reimagined flush-mounted wall plugs for a seamless aesthetic. Through STRUT, they brought luxury craftsmanship to custom automotive accessories, and at iPort, they developed elegant iPad docking solutions that redefined functionality and style.
From reimagining audio systems to tackling sustainability through advanced waste solutions, Scott and Geoff’s vision lives in every product we create – proving that better is always possible
Sonance Lab
Our world is drowning in packaging waste — and we’re not standing by. Sonance Lab was born from a simple mission: innovate solutions that protect the planet without compromising performance.
As the dedicated business incubator and product development division of Sonance, Sonance Lab turns bold ideas into working solutions. From the earliest sketch to final prototype, every product is thoughtfully engineered, rigorously tested, and refined to meet the highest standards of performance and sustainability.
With cutting-edge machines designed to crunch, crush, and minimize waste, we help businesses and communities reduce their environmental footprint. Our technology doesn’t just save space and money — it safeguards our most valuable resource: the Earth.
Because we believe the future deserves better — and we’re here to build it.
United Innovation: STRUT, Sonance, and Sonance Lab
At the core of our founders’ vision is a belief that true progress comes from daring to rethink what’s possible. That belief has sparked not just one company, but an ecosystem of brands — each pushing the boundaries of design, technology, and experience.
Sonance, STRUT, Sonance Lab, James Loudspeaker, iPort, and Trufig are united by a common purpose: to fuse innovation with intention. Whether it’s redefining architectural audio, elevating luxury design, or creating seamless technology integration, these companies operate with one mindset — challenge convention, solve beautifully.
Together, they form United Innovation — a collective driven by curiosity, built on craftsmanship, and focused on what’s next.
Making the World a Better Place!
Philanthropy is a core pillar of our founders’ mission — not just an initiative, but a responsibility. Through three distinct foundations, we tackle critical global and local challenges.
Elephant Cooperation focuses on wildlife conservation and the development of self-sustaining communities in Africa, working with vetted partners to protect elephants and support harmony between people and nature.
SONANCE CARES empowers individuals to connect with causes they care about by promoting a “Give Well” mindset — emphasizing that meaningful giving comes in many forms.
Sonance Foundation drives impact closer to home, supporting education, environmental preservation, and direct assistance in San Clemente, CA, Minden, NV, and Ameca, Mexico.
Together, these efforts form a united vision: to build a better world through intentional, collaborative giving.
