Ø Audio

Ø Audio builds loudspeakers around a distinctive idea: a carbon-fibre compression driver on the company's Quad Vertex Sound Field constant-directivity horn, paired with large, ultra-linear woofers. The result is very high sensitivity — these speakers come alive on low-power tube amplifiers as readily as on conventional solid-state designs — with the scale and immediacy horn systems are loved for.

The range carries names from Norse mythology — Frigg, Verdande, Ymir — alongside the Icon, the award-winning horn design now in its Icon 12 revision after eight years of continuous refinement. Drivers are developed in cooperation with SEAS, and cabinets are resonance-controlled sandwich constructions finished in matte paint or veneer.

At the showroom, the Icon 12 leads our flagship demonstration system in the big room, driven by Burmester Reference electronics. It is a sound worth the trip on its own. That system is System 1.
