Ø Audio Icon 12 – All the Details About the New Loudspeakers
Invalid Date
We already wrote that the Norwegian company Ø Audio announced the new floor-standing acoustics Ø Audio Icon 12. The new product is based on the Icon model, which was first released eight years ago. Now the specs of the new product have become available.
Ø Audio Icon 12 has a sensitivity of 92 dB and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. As a result, loudspeakers are designed to work with the widest possible range of amplifiers - the speakers are perfectly compatible even with low-power tube amplifiers (as well as the solutions based on classes A, AB and D). The frequency range is 28 Hz-20 kHz, and the high sound pressure allows the speakers to work even in large rooms.
Ø Audio Icon 12 is equipped with a Constant Directivity Quad Vertex Sound Field horn at high frequencies, in which a large-sized 3.4" Carbon fiber diaphragm driver operates. The rest of the frequency band is handled by a 12" ultra-linear long stroke extended range woofer. A carefully selected circuit based on the horn design of the tweeter and dynamic driver is aimed at ensuring seamless integration of the drivers.
The asymmetrical cabinets of the Ø Audio Icon 12 loudspeakers without parallel walls helps to minimize internal resonances and reflections of sound waves.
