Audience ClairAudient 1+1 V5

Description

The Audience ClairAudient 1+1 is one of the most unique small footprint loudspeakers in the world. It features a wideband driver eliminating the need for multiple drivers in one plane. Not having multiple drivers eliminates the need for a crossover. The 1+1 V5 measures flat from 55Hz up to 22Khz without the use of a dedicated tweeter and associated crossover.

Consequently, transition at the most critical frequency range (from mid to high) is entirely smooth and supremely coherent. The 1+1 V5 is a bi-pole design, which expands the soundstage, extends low frequency, and increases power handling. There are active full range drivers, in phase, on the front and rear baffles, complemented by passive radiators on each side. The jewel-like enclosure is a joy to look at and will fit into any room where space is at a premium and high-quality sound is desired.

The A3S2-16 drivers employed in the 1+1 V5 are a dual gap motor design with ultra long-throw excursion providing surprising SPL levels with big dynamic range. Don’t let their small size fool you. They are exceptionally resolute at low volumes and will effortlessly deliver the full emotional slam of your most dynamic music. Now in its fifth incarnation, this speaker has reached the zenith of performance for a small footprint personal monitor speaker. In fact, over the years, reviewers from The Absolute Sound Magazine described the Audience 1+1 design as offering a state-of-the-art near field listening experience.

If you have a small room and sit in a near field position, this ingenious speaker system will allow you to enjoy your music at a level that was previously unprecedented.

Forget about the thousands of same-same little monitors that occupy shelf space in hi-fi shops everywhere with their MDF boxes and low grade cheap drivers – they not only sound ordinary, but they all sound the same. This speaker with its bi-polar & passive radiator configuration is unique and will surprise you with its talents.
