The Verdande isn’t just a speaker—it’s a sonic monolith, a testament to Scandinavian design and acoustic mastery. Imagine a Viking longship sailing through a sea of sound, delivering music with both grace and power. This isn’t hyperbole; it’s the Verdande experience.
The Verdande delivers a sound that's both commanding and nuanced. Its 15-inch ultra-linear long-stroke woofer provides deep, articulate bass that anchors the music without overwhelming it. The highs, courtesy of a 2.89-inch carbon ring radiator tweeter with a multilayer radial phase plug, are detailed and extended, offering clarity without harshness. The result is a speaker that captures the full emotional spectrum of music, from the subtlest whisper to the most thunderous crescendo.

- Liner Notes
Verdande is a true 2-way reference design developed to bring musical enjoyment to the listener, backed with monumental dynamics.
We took the concept of our Award-Winning and Product of the Year loudspeaker model Icon, made it larger and took the performance to a completely new level. Designing a truly High-End 2-way loudspeaker of this size and caliber is no small task. It takes passion, knowledge and patience to reach the standards set for this project. The Verdande project was developed to showcase our new Quad Vertex SoundField Technology. This newly developed horn profile was created to provide very even dispersion and low coloration. This technology provides an even sound characteristic within the working area of the horn. Coupled to our Quad Vertex SoundField Horn this tweeter delivers a dynamic high frequency response with extremely low distortion. Without the typical “horn-sound” or ever being harsh or unpleasant. It’s very detailed, and whether you play at moderate volumes or at concert levels it never changes characteristics.
We had to develop our own 38 cm (15”) driver to take over the frequency range below the compression driver and horn combination.
This driver took a long time to perfect, but we did it…and we are mighty proud of it too!
First of all, this driver has an almost scary clean distortion profile and generous linear stroke. But at the same time, it has some capabilities that really help us make that crucial midrange sound just right. Some say the crossover is the heart of the speaker, others say it’s the brain. We say that it’s both. A crossover has two main functions. One is to control the acoustic response of the drivers, the other, which of course is linked very closely to the first, is to give the speaker its character. We design the crossovers to get the best performance out of every speaker. Many designers claim that one topology is superior to another, which in our opinion is not only false, but it limits the possibilities to get the best sound out of a specific design. The crossover was designed with the help of modern measurement and simulation tools with numerous listening sessions during the process. Verdande is designed to work in real-world listening environments, not to just measure well in controlled environments. The crossover uses very high-quality parts.
