With its built-in computer, 100 watt analog class-D amplifier and wireless stereo, the new OD-11 has evolved from a 70's classic to a complete ultra modern music system with everything built-in to play wireless music from any device or platform. Inside OD-11 you'll find the ortho engine - a custom designed computer, processing the crossover filtering and all wireless communication. Mounted on the side of the bass reflex duct is the 100 watt, high efficiency integrated amplifier. By mounting the amplifier on the side of the duct it's kept cool with the passing airflow.

View Full Description

The new OD-11 is a carefully re-engineered version of the legendary ortho directional loud-speaker by stig carlsson from 1974. Now with a built-in computer, 100 watt amplifier and the latest wifi technology. It's upgraded to play all your music, from any device, in wireless stereo. The unmistakeably warm and relaxed carlsson sound has returned. Re-created from original technical drawings, the 2014 version of OD-11 has the same dimensions, 10 liter volume, white cabinet with black grille, as when it was launched in 1974. When it comes to the sound, the ortho directional speaker principle is more relevant than ever, delivering the same great sound as it did 40 years ago. the genuine carlsson sound.

Thanks to its built-in technology and wifi capabilities, OD-11 works out of the box with airplay on mac, iphone, ipad and apple tv. And on windows too, with itunes installed. When playing music from spotify on a mobile device, a digital token is sent to OD-11 telling it to handle the streaming so you can turn your mobile device off and enjoy the music.

The Stig Carlson Story

In all its simplicity, carlsson's quote reveals the secret to why his speakers came to revolutionize the world of hifi. Stig carlsson's competitors designed their speakers to generate great audio output in a completely muted and echo-free anechoic chamber. In such a room, a flat frequency response curve could be achieved - the proof of a pure and direct sound. There's just one small problem with this approach: nobody actually lives in an anechoic chamber.

If you put a conventional speaker in a regular home, you will get a completely different result than you would in an anechoic chamber. Instead of a beautiful and flat frequency response curve, what you end up with looks more like a downhill slope. the sound is distorted by the many reflections, and by the fact that the sound waves keep crashing into each other, causing them to reach the ear at slightly different intervals. The brain interprets all this in the only way it can: as poor quality of sound.

Ortho (Sold Separately)

Ortho remote is the wireless remote control designed for OD-11. With Ortho remote you adjust the volume, skip track and pause your music from any room, at up to 20 meters distance. Ortho remote has a magnetic back so you can stick it to any magnetic metal surface like a fridge. The non-slip bottom makes it rest steady on any surface. Experience real 1-click music.

The OD-11 works best placed close to a wall, pointed towards the centre of the room. Welcome to a great cloud music experience.
