O Audio VERDANDE
A true 2-way reference design with monumental dynamics. We took the award-winning, Product of the Year Icon, made it larger, and pushed the performance to a completely new level.

Let’s get emotional.
A high-end 2-way of this size and caliber is no small task — it takes passion, knowledge, and patience. Verdande was built to showcase our Quad Vertex SoundField technology, and to prove how much a two-way can do.
The Tweeter
Coupled to the Quad Vertex SoundField horn, the tweeter delivers dynamic high frequencies with extremely low distortion — without the typical "horn sound," and never harsh or unpleasant. Highly detailed, and unchanging in character whether you play at moderate volumes or concert levels.Quad Vertex SoundField
Verdande's horn uses our newly developed Quad Vertex SoundField profile, engineered for very even dispersion and low coloration. It holds an even sound character across the whole working area of the horn — the foundation for everything the speaker does above the bass.
The Woofer
A 15" ultra-linear, long-stroke, extended-range woofer anchors the system, reaching down to 26 Hz with control and headroom to spare. It carries the monumental dynamics Verdande is built for, staying composed as levels climb.The Crossover
Heart or brain? It's both. The crossover controls the drivers and sets the speaker's character. We reject the idea that one topology beats all — it just limits the result. Verdande's crossover is designed with modern measurement and simulation and long listening, built for real rooms, not lab conditions. High-quality parts throughout.
The Enclosure
Top-quality drivers and parts only take you part of the way; the enclosure carries the rest. Verdande's enclosure is built to be the best possible housing for the drivers and components — acoustically and mechanically. A resonance-free design, strategically damped and braced.
The Feet
The polished stainless-steel feet aren't just for looks. Their lower section is mechanically decoupled with tungsten balls, countering vibration to and from the floor and keeping the cabinet isolated from the room.Construction 2-way, horn-loaded Sensitivity 94 db
