In 1979, Ole Klifoth launched the Trapez - his first commercial speaker. The mother of all future Audiovector speakers, the Trapez was created to reproduce the true sound of a concert hall. The new Trapeze Reimagined follows that very same principle and features the most innovative modern technology whilst paying homage to the company’s very first loudspeaker. It is the embodiment of 45 years of passion, innovation, and love of music.

The Trapeze Reimagined excels in transporting the listener to the heart of a live event. However, the new speaker’s classic Danish styling ensures that it makes an impression that goes far beyond the sound. Due to the unique design, the front of the speaker is angled towards the listener, whilst its rear remains parallel to the wall, adding timeless elegance to any room. The cabinet itself is hand-veneered for a sleek fit and finish, and generously braced for low distortion and colouration.

Inside the cabinet, Audiovector’s Diffraction Absorption Control, a thick layer of natural felt around the mid and treble drivers absorbs reflected energy. This allows the drivers to function as point sources. The shape of the iconic angled cabinet eliminates standing waves and ensures that the conditions are perfect for the speaker’s drivers.

The Audiovector 5” midrange driver uses a supremely strong Neodynium magnet for maximum power and control. Distortion is extremely low thanks to a patented distortion-shorting cap in the magnet. The light membrane features a corrugated ‘concertina’ surround for the superfast performance required to blend with the AMT treble driver.

The unique proprietary linear phase crossover incorporates precision components, each specifically manufactured for the purpose. Just as the original Trapez used 6 dB per octave linear phase crossover topology, so too does the new Trapeze Reimagined. This represents the only way to achieve a perfect step response and deliver such a clear and natural sound. Other in-house technologies include cryogenically treated tin flash/copper capacitors, air cooled metal housed resistors for bass and midrange, an array of film resistors in the treble to avoid induction distortion, and precision wound coils all falling within +/- 1% tolerance levels.

The in-house bass driver features a 12” membrane and 4” voice coil and delivers low distortion and clean bass notes. A rubber ‘concertina’ surround, rather than the ubiquitous roll surround seen on most bass drivers, makes the bass driver fast enough to blend in with the superfast midrange driver. The extremely low distortion allows unusually natural and dynamic vocals, as well as a beautifully rich sound without boom or bloom.

The Trapeze Reimagined use double mechanical decoupling, a 2-layer aluminium plinth incorporating built-in decoupling via carbon steel ball bearings and stylish Audiovector spikes. This combination reduces distortion, optimises the speaker/floor interaction, and delivers a clean, precise performance.

Available in the UK from mid-June, the Trapeze Reimagined will retail at £15,500
