This speaker was handcrafted by blacksmith Jonas Majors in his workshop on the island of Mörkö south of Stockholm. The Steel Speaker is a heavy beast at 44 pounds. It is supposed to manifest the power of our big speaker acoustic platform by its mere presence. The electronic appliance industry seems many times over crowded by black boxes. Therefore we saw it as our challenge to make the black box into a sculptural piece of craft that elevates a contemporary designed interior rather than violating it. We appreciate the raw metal texture of aged steel. The metal is forged and cut to the right geometry, before it is welded, polished and blackened. Even though the look is rough, it takes a lot of skill and dedication to meet the demands of precision from both appearance and assembly. This is a raw piece of handcraft merging with modern technology for a timeless expression. Transparent sound refers to a loudspeakers ability to channel the true intention of a musician through to the listener. We tune the driver magnets to perform perfectly in the unique sealed acoustic volumes creating high quality sounds from our premium components. Our special editions come with the same five star sound performance as our permanent collection. With the heavy steel we get a deep slightly warm timbre (tone color) adding an extremely subtle touch that makes the object even more interesting and personal just like an instrument.
