23.10.2022 07:00 | ~1 minute read
The new version of the critically acclaimed Ø Audio Icon speakers - Icon 12 is scheduled to hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2025. According to the company, the loudspeakers provide high efficiency and detailed, natural sound.
The high sensitivity of the Ø Audio Icon 12 and the absence of impedance dips below 8 Ohms guarantee an easy load for any amplification - thus, the speakers can work with both tube and transistor (or class D) devices. Another pride of the company is the asymmetrical cabinet, designed specifically to dampen resonances.
The Ø Audio Icon 12 is used a two-way configuration and is equipped with a compression driver for high/low frequencies, enclosed in a horn. The company will present detailed specifications of the model later this year.
