Our speakers perform exceptionally well in terms of general requirements, characterised by low distortion, good sound dispersion and high sensitivity. Beyond that, we have some unique methods and principles that set us apart from the competition.

Most manufacturers use echo-free chambers when designing their loudspeakers, aiming for a flat frequency response, verified by a measurement microphone. What is not often considered is that a home is nothing like an echo-free chamber, and a pair of ears won’t behave like a measurement microphone. We base our design on “ordinary rooms” and our human hearing. This gives us a slightly different goal in our design process. Two principles that differentiate us from the crowd are how we work with bass support from the rear wall and how we compensate for some inherent flaws of the stereo system.

Bass Support from the Wall

The frequency response of our speakers is adapted to utilize the sound reflected from the rear wall and the floor. Together, this reflected and direct sound creates the response curve we aim for. This principle provides reinforcement in the lower bass range, allowing us to achieve a substantial amount of bass from very small enclosures. This also makes wall placement an asset rather than a problem; most speakers require placement with distance from the back wall.

Stereo compensation

In normal practice, a speaker designer strives for a flat response curve from the speaker, and this is verified with a measurement microphone. However, human hearing doesn’t work that way. When you listen in stereo, your right ear hears the right speaker slightly louder than the left. But you also hear the left speaker in your right ear, with the sound traveling around your head. We claim that the sum of these two hearing impressions should generate a “flat response curve.” To achieve this, we work with an adjusted response curve in our design goal.

To summarize – like many other manufacturers, we aim for a flat and uncolored sound reproduction, but we have a more nuanced approach for reaching that goal.
