[NAMM] Sonor Prolite Series

ProLite offers the Vintage Maple shell with CLTF (Cross-Laminated-Tension-Free) process. The new ProLite series is designed to adapt to a variety of music genres and applications, recording or live.

The concept of the new ProLite series incorporates three price ranges which differ by the kind of shell surface/lacquering process. Three different kinds of surfaces include three finishes each and they are separated in satin lacquered solid (Crème White) and stain finishes (Nussbaum, Natural). High gloss lacquered solid (Silver Sparkle, Brilliant Black) and stain finishes (Ruby Red) and high gloss lacquered veneer finishes (Ebony White Stripes, Walnut Brown Burst, Red Tribal).

New hardware features include the DGS (Dual Glide System) snare strainer for snare action, combined with features in detail like the detachable snare wire attachment or the new TAR (Total Acoustic Resonance) tom mount system.

Preconfigured shell sets and a variety of single components complete the new ProLite series.
