Transparent Unveils the Brutalist Speaker: Sound Meets Monumental Design

von @industrialkonzept Team

Transparent, the Stockholm-based pioneer in minimalist audio design, has introduced its latest innovation: the Brutalist Speaker. Paying homage to the Brutalist architectural style of the 1950s, this new creation combines bold aesthetics with cutting-edge technology to redefine the home audio experience.


The Intersection of Architecture and Audio

Brutalism, known for its raw, geometric designs, serves as the inspiration for the speaker’s striking appearance. Per Brickstad, Transparent’s Creative Director, emphasizes the fusion of architecture and design:

“It is exciting to bring this legendary architectural style into people’s homes, and to bring the worlds of architecture and design closer together.”


The Brutalist Speaker is more than a listening device; it’s a statement piece crafted from 70% post-consumer recycled aluminum. This eco-conscious choice enhances its acoustical properties while supporting sustainability efforts.

Powerful Soundscapes and Advanced Design

The speaker boasts a towering acoustic structure that creates a rich, immersive sound experience. Highlights include:

  • Large Acoustic Volume: Designed for deep, effortless bass.
  • 90° Tweeter Placement: Two 3” tweeters positioned strategically for enhanced high-frequency sound distribution.
  • Corner Placement Optimization: Acoustic reflections amplify soundscapes when placed in corners.
“The Brutalist Speaker is more than just a speaker; it’s a sound monument that invites the listener to a grand adventure,” says Brickstad.

 

Seamless Integration for Modern Lifestyles

Like all Transparent speakers, the Brutalist Speaker integrates effortlessly into stereo or multi-room wireless systems. It includes a dedicated compartment for wireless modules and comes pre-fitted with the Wiim Mini Wi-Fi music streamer. This allows users to enjoy seamless connectivity with platforms like Spotify, Tidal, and more.

A Testament to Transparent’s Vision

Founded in Stockholm in 2012, Transparent has always championed sustainability and timeless design in the tech industry. Their mission is to inspire with technology rather than contribute to disposable trends. The Brutalist Speaker stands as a bold testament to their commitment, bridging the gap between timeless design and state-of-the-art functionality.

The Brutalist Speaker is now available for purchase at select retailers, including us, as well as on Transparent’s official website. Pricing starts at €3,800.
