 THE Show '08 Report by Jim Merod
No room at CES this year sounded better than the Audience set up. No room sounded as sonically accurate, as emotionally and aesthetically beguiling, as musically truthful and flat out startling with dynamic rightness of weight and timbre—as melodically, angelically charismatic.
Paired with the $7000 ClairAudient 12 subwoofer, this system was able to produce some of the most glorious midrange I've ever heard. Space was reach-out-and-touch real, micro dynamic events were breath taking, and the overall tonal balance was scary.

Audience appeals to a wider audience (06:18)
We have THREE videos for you, covering the ever expanding product range from Audience LLC. We were lucky enough to convince John McDonald, the founder, to spend some time with us for this interview. We also caught up with chief designer Roger Sheker, who gave us many insights into their speakers and power products. DIY'ers should also check out his brief on Aura capacitors.

"The ClairAudient LSA 16 (LSA for "Line Source Array) was designed by the late Richard Smith, cofounder of Audience, and features 4, 8, 16, 24, or 32 50mm drive-units, used full-range, with no tweeters or crossover (something I have not seen since the Ted Jordan designs of the late 1970s). A separate subwoofer handles the low bass and with a very high claimed sensitivity, the ClairAudient design will produce very high spls in-room, but with great clarity." — By John Atkinson, Stereophile Website

products were shown which expand the adeptResponse power conditioning
line, including the six receptacle aR6
and the aR1p,
a single receptacle unit for mono blocks or ceiling mount
projectors. Positive Feedback reported the sound to be dynamic
and tonally balanced, with a sense of speed and immediacy
that few others captured. |

| Audience unveiled
the latest incarnation of its Au24 True Line Source loudspeaker,
a one-way system with a flat response from 22 kHz to 70 Hz. The
lack of a crossover provides ultimate coherency. The
sweet spot spans the width of the room, not just the center
seat. The total moving mass of each driver is 1.5 grams
delivering unsurpassed high resolution sound. As a dynamic
driver, the result is the best of all worlds, high resolution
and unrestrained dynamics. |
