Sigberg Audio Saranna – Active Speakers with a Cardioid Midrange Drivers

The Norwegian company Sigberg Audio has released new active three-way acoustic systems Sigberg Audio Saranna – sales will begin in August 2025. Sigberg Audio Saranna are capable of operating in the range of 20 Hz in-room – which is a very impressive indicator given the dimensions of the speakers. The speakers are also equipped with built-in digital-to-analog converters, so a streamer alone is not enough for a complete system.

The acoustics are made in a three-band configuration with separate amplification of each band. The discreet design hides a front mounted coaxial driver consisting of an 8" compression driver, 2 x rear mounted 8" woofers, and an active 3-channel Hypex nCore class D amplifier with DSP (600 W per speaker).

The coaxial 8" driver with powerful neodymium magnets on the front panel of the speaker, which works almost as a point source, is based on a cardioid design - a ventilated chamber reduces unwanted reflections and ensures that the rhythmic and powerful character of the upper bass and lower midrange frequencies is focused on the listener, which minimizes the blurriness of the sound caused by the acoustic features of the room.

Two 8" woofers mounted on the rear wall of the cabinet and a discrete amplification of 600 W per speaker allow you to customize the sound of the speaker system for a specific listening room with Manual EQ, 9-band parametric equalizer or factory presets (+0dB, +2dB, -2dB Bass tilt). Installation close to the walls of the room will not be a hindrance either.

Sigberg Audio Saranna active loudspeakers are available for pre-order at 249,995 NOK (around 21,000 EUR) per pair. There is a 10% pre-order discount until 1 May 2025.
