The exciting loudspeaker brand joins our roster of world-class audio
Harmonia Distribution is proud to announce the addition of a new high-end brand to its offerings. Ø Audio, a celebrated loudspeaker brand from Norway, will now be available in the United States through the Southern California-based distribution company.
Founded in 2017, Ø Audio recently captivated the world of hi-fi at the Audio Video Show 2024, Warsaw, with its groundbreaking two-way horn and woofer design. It currently has three offerings, the Frigg 02, Icon 12, and Verdande.
The entry-level $13,900 Frigg 02 is a three-way floorstander with a unique Metamodal Spread Tow Carbon Fiber (TPCD) dome tweeter, 7” mid, and 8.6” woofer. The bigger drivers are hand-coated paper cones on 26 mm and 52 mm titanium formers, respectively. This is entry-level that challenges reference designs.
The $23,400 Icon 12 is a two-way that’s a revision of Ø Audio’s acclaimed first product, the Icon. A horn-loaded 3.4” carbon fiber tweeter works with a 12” woofer, both housed in a beautiful asymmetrical cabinet.
The top of the range is occupied by the $39,500 Verdande in the same format as the Icon 12, but with a 15” woofer.
“Ø Audio might be new, but it is a mature hi-fi brand and I am very excited about its potential in the US market,” says David Schultz, president, of Harmonia Distribution. “Most importantly, the speakers sound incredible, and I can’t wait for you all to hear them.”
About Ø Audio
Ø Audio was founded in 2017 by Sveinung Mala and Jonathan Magnus Cook, and quickly became known for the Icon, a two-way floorstander with horn driver and 12” woofer in an asymmetrical cabinet. It garnered multiple awards, a vindication of its “anti-commercial” ethos that prioritizes sound quality and innovation over a vanilla mass-market appeal.
In 2021, Ø Audio expanded the line-up and grew the company with a plan to conquer a global market, growing the team and making significant investments in infrastructure.
Says Sveinung, “We believe that a great speaker should feel alive, effortlessly filling a room with sound that moves you. That’s why Ø Audio designs with a no-compromise approach—every note, every nuance is exactly as it was meant to be heard.”
Jonathan adds, “With Harmonia Distribution, Ø Audio is bringing its no-compromise philosophy to the US, setting new standards and redefining what true high-performance sound should be. Get ready to experience something extraordinary.”
