Børresen C2 and Børresen C3 – impressive loudspeakers from Denmark
10.02.2025 08:23 | ~2 minutes read
Børresen, a brand of Audio Group Denmark, has announced the expansion of its floor-standing loudspeaker line – the Børresen C2 and Børresen C3. The new acoustics are equipped with redesigned drivers, improved crossovers and an anti-resonance cabinet design.
Børresen C2 and C3 are equipped with a Børresen DCC5 Neo bass and midrange driver. This driver uses a neodymium magnet system with double copper caps to minimize electromagnetic resonance and induction. The DCC5 Neo is equipped with a three-layer diffuser made of aramid honeycomb core and a carbon fiber shell. The drivers are characterized by negligible resonance levels, which significantly increases the level of details.
The Børresen RP94 ribbon planar tweeter handles the high frequencies in the loudspeaker. With a sensitivity of 94 dB, minimal (0.01 grams) moving mass and cryogenic treatment (reducing inductance), the emitter provides an open and clear sound.
The Børresen C2 and Børresen C3 feature an advanced crossover that supports bi-wiring and bi-amping. In addition, the new products are compatible with Aavik active crossovers - and can be reconfigured to a fully active scheme. The Børresen C2 and Børresen C3 speaker cabinets are made from a combination of reinforced wood composite and carbon fiber panels and are reinforced with 5 mm wooden braces, which optimizes structural integrity. The system operates in a semi-open mode at midrange frequencies.
Børresen has integrated technologies from its sister brand Ansuz into the C series speaker systems, including Tesla coil technology for noise reduction and third-generation Ansuz Dither technology for noise reduction. All internal wiring is also made with Ansuz cable.
Both speakers have a sensitivity of 88 dB and an impedance of 6 ohms. The manufacturer recommends using the new acoustics with an amplifier with a power of 50 watts. The C2 model operates in the frequency range of 35 - 50,000 Hz, and the C3 - of 25 Hz - 50,000 Hz. The recommended retail price of the Børresen C2 model is 25,000 euros, and the Børresen C3 will cost 35,000 euros.
