They took a bedroom with a flat plaster ceiling and gave us a night sky our eight-year-old falls asleep under. Three months on, we can't remember what it looked like before.
We build quiet, dark rooms for people who know what they want to feel in them.
Founded in 2010 as DUKO Spain by a father-and-son team in Marbella. Rebranded as Sonortec in 2018 when our work quietly outgrew the name we'd picked for cinemas alone.
What began as home-theatre installs for expat villas became, across fifteen years, a studio with three tight specialisms — home cinemas, fibre-optic starry ceilings, acoustic interiors — and one broader construction practice that stitches them all into whole-home reformas.
We work with homeowners on the Costa del Sol, boutique hotels and restaurants along the coast, and with architects and interior designers who need a contractor who understands that a ceiling is also a speaker, and a wall is also a sound source.
Our workshop is in Marbella. Our install crews cover Málaga, Costa del Sol, Madrid, and — for the right project — anywhere a plane will take them.
Four principles, pinned to the wall.
Technology that doesn't shout
The cinema should read as a room first, a cinema second. The starry ceiling should look like a ceiling by day. If you're always aware of the system, we've done it wrong.
Measured, not guessed
Every acoustic room is modelled in REW and re-measured after install. Every cinema is calibrated to standards. We publish the numbers we tuned to.
In-house, on site
Our crews, not agency sub-subs. Our workshop makes our joinery. The person who sold you the ceiling is on site when it gets installed.
Two-year care, included
Every project gets a scheduled tuning visit at twelve and twenty-four months — recalibration, re-focusing, firmware housekeeping. Quietly, without a charge.
Twenty-two people. No agencies.

Every Sonortec room is built from equipment we've specified for fifteen years — and installed by trades we've worked with since day one. We are independent of any single brand.
Rooms our clients actually use, years after handover.
Fixed price, fixed date, and the room sounds better than the demo suite where we first heard the kit. They measured everything — twice — and then again when we moved the sofa.
We hired them for the studio and ended up having them reform the whole office. One lead, one contract, one invoice. Nothing went wrong, which with builders is the highest compliment I can pay.
