The Solo takes a novel approach on designing a large high end floor standing loudspeaker. With optimal driver placement and clever internal acoustics, the Solo delivers a well balanced sonic picture that is open, detailed, controlled and addictive. Additionally, the Solo can be customized with optional WiSA wireless connectivity upon request, ensuring a versatile and modern audio experience.
Controlled Directivity
When listening to a loudspeaker in a room, you are in fact listening to the sum of the direct sound and the sound that is reflected by the walls, ceiling and floor. Therefore it is important to control how a loudspeaker radiates the music into a room. Physics tells us that the larger a loudspeaker driver is compared to the wavelength, the more forward-only the sound will travel. For example, at the cross-over between a large mid-range driver and a small dome tweeter, the mid-range radiates mainly forward and the tweeter radiates in all directions. But this discontinuity in the off-axis response means that the reflected sound is not linear. Which in turn means that the sound you hear is not linear. It is distorted.The graphs above shows the off-axis response for the Solo, from 0 degrees (forward) to 90 degrees (sideward), relative to the forward response curve. The Solo cabinet, drivers, membrane material and cross over together deliver a very smooth off-axis response for the Solo. This means the response in the room will be linear and music will sound as intended.
the Whole is Greater
than the sum of its parts. The relative size of the drivers, their placement in the cabinet and their individual qualities are all contributing to the Solo sound quality. The 1” Anodised aluminium dome features a flow optimized vented pole piece and has a non-reflective chamber. It has excellent sound radiation, further controlled by a shallow acoustic lens and very low distortion. The 4” ceramic coated aluminium membrane of the mid range driver is suspended in a soft low damping rubber surround and has an optimised low distortion magnetic motor system in a rigid die cast aluminium chassis. The 8” woofer is of similar construction and further optimised for large deflections with for example a large vented pole piece for reduced compression. The relative sizes and placment in the cabinet aid in controlling the directivity and minimize the effect of the first ground reflection. Finally, the cross over merges the individual concepts together into a carefully balanced system.
Main Specifications
Danish loudspeakers
Three Danish designed loudspeakers with the latest technology ensure the Solo delivers on its promises: symmetric magnetic motor, solid aluminium basket, extensive venting, to name a few
Controlled directivity
By integrating the cabinet design, cross over and drivers, the Solo has a controlled directivity of sound, meaning the Solo is less critical to the listening room acoustics
Hand build in Denmark
Build by hand in the for Denmark typical small scale production adds a personal touch to each loudspeaker.
Finely tuned cross over
the elaborate 24 dB/oct Linkwitz - Riley cross over gives more upper mid range energy for a more open sound and improves the tweeter high power performance.
Clean upper bass
The acoustic design of the cabinet effectively reduces internal standing waves around 200Hz for improved clarity

Looking to go wireless? With our fully in-house developed Davone wireless module, the Solo can seamlessly transform into a high-quality wireless loudspeaker, perfect for stereo setups or even multichannel systems.
Crystal clear sound
The Quad core DSP enables independent corrections of amplitude and phase, impossible in analog speakers. Aided by the ASRC and low jitter clock, the data is processed at least at 96kHz/24 bits throughout, finally to be converted to analog by the ultra low distortion AKM DAC with balanced outputs.
ICEPower Class D
ICEpower amplifiers combine superior sound quality with high continuous output power. And by connecting it direct to the individual loudspeakers, the high signal quality is fully maintained. A step up compared to analog loudspeakers.
Dolby Atmos Multichannel
If you’ve ever wanted a true 5.1 or 7.1 surround system, but have hesitated because of the wiring requirements, WiSA is for you. The WiSA SoundSend enables Dolby Atmos and lower versions decoding.
Connect to all TV's
The WiSA SoundSend HDMI-ARC input can be connected to virtually every TV manufacturer out there, including B&O, Sony, Samsung and many others. The TV remote will also change the loudspeaker volume.
Multiroom
Some WiSA transmitters come with Chromescast and Airplay 2 built in, making it possible to create a multiroom system with virtually every sound manufacturer out there, including B&O, Sony, Bose and many others.
A Wireless Standard
WiSA is the growing standard in wireless audio transmission, with support from more than 60 manufacturers including LG, Toshiba, Klipsch, and Bang & Olufsen. In other words, Wisa enables wireless connections between audio products from different brands.
