Visitors to the upcoming High End Munich show can look forward to a true world premiere: the unveiling of the new Aequo Audio Adamantis and Ensium loudspeakers.
At the rapidly approaching High End Munich event, Dutch manufacturer Aequo Audio will debut a global first: loudspeakers crafted from an entirely new, self-developed nanotechnology-based cabinet material. “Thanks to an innovative nanocomposite that converts vibrations into heat, cabinet resonances are virtually eliminated—from the deepest bass to well beyond the audible spectrum (1 Hz to 100,000 Hz),” the manufacturer states. It’s being hailed as a world-first breakthrough in acoustic engineering.
This cutting-edge material features in two new speaker models:
- ADAMANTIS – a passive 3-way loudspeaker
- ENSIUM – a 500W bass-assisted 3-way speaker with a room and placement correction system that operates fully in the analog domain.
Form Follows Function
According to Aequo, both models make use of complex, acoustically optimized 3D forms designed under the company’s “form follows function” philosophy—shapes made possible thanks to the moldability of the nano material. Each speaker weighs over 100 kg, yet offers an impressive internal volume relative to its footprint.
“We start with a perfect, time-aligned acoustic shape and refine it from there without compromise,” says Aequo Audio founder and head technologist Ivo Sparidaens. “Combined with our latest driver designs and crossover technology, this results in a speaker with extremely low cabinet diffraction and unprecedented levels of linear acoustic phase, low distortion, and high dynamics. It sets a new standard in holographic soundstaging and sound projection that extends far beyond the room boundaries—all with astonishing detail and effortless, natural tonality.”
Visitors can experience the ENSIUM live at High End Munich in Atrium 4.2, Room F.204. For more information, visit the Aequo Audio website.
