07.12.2024 14:00 | ~1 minute read
The Transparent company has introduced a very unusual speaker called Brutalist with a real “brutal” appearance, which is radically different from the devices with which the manufacturer began its journey. The price may also surprise — $4,000.
Inside the Transparent Brutalist there are two 3” tweeters, which are located at an angle of 90° to each other. They are complemented by a 6.5” subwoofer on the opposite side. The new speaker works with a resolution of up to 192 kHz / 24 bit and supports popular formats MP3, FLAC, WAV. Frequency Response is also good - 32Hz — 20KHZ -6 dB.
The Transparent Brutalist supports streaming audio via Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect and Amazon Music (and other services). Using the 3.5 mm audio input, you can connect other sources of signal and content. You can also connect headphones through it, if necessary.
