O Audio ICON 12
The new Icon. After eight years on the market and a wall of reviews — a completely new design behind a familiar face. A horn loudspeaker voiced to sound balanced and natural with the scale and immediacy only a horn delivers.

Rebellious fun.
Explosive dynamics, full composure. Icon 12 stays fluid and natural whether it's an intimate recording or a large-scale production at volume — effortless either way.
Horn Driver
A 3.4" carbon-fiber-diaphragm horn driver, chosen for low distortion, speed, and texture. Transients snap into focus; fine detail stays intact. Paired with our horn technology, it will make you forget everything you thought you knew about horn sound.The Woofer
A 12" ultra-linear, long-stroke, extended-range woofer anchors the system with deep reach and headroom, holding control as levels rise. A high-capacity woofer is one thing; blending it seamlessly into the midrange is another. Hear the Icon 12 and we think you'll agree we got it right.The Enclosure
Icon 12's asymmetrical cabinet has no parallel walls, cutting resonance and internal reflection. A precisely engineered horn-and-driver layout and aluminium outriggers give stability, clarity, and room-friendly placement. The luxurious finishes only understate what's underneath.Amplifier Matching
Nominal 8 Ω and generous sensitivity make Icon 12 a natural partner for low-power tube amplifiers — and it's just as happy with Class A/AB or modern Class D. It takes power, with more capacity and dynamic range than most ordinary hi-fi speakers.Directivity Control
At the heart of Icon 12 is the Quad Vertex Sound Field constant-directivity horn. Its geometry controls dispersion so the speaker integrates cleanly into real rooms — airy and flowing, yet powerful and authoritative.Construction 2-way, horn-loaded Sensitivity 92 db
