Why our speAkers soundS good

The Braarud Smie Bluetooth speaker delivers exceptional sound quality due to a combination of advanced design features and innovative technology:

1. Dynamic Crossover Frequency: The speaker employs a dynamic crossover frequency that enhances deep bass reproduction by lowering the highpass frequency between 40 and 100 Hz. between 70 dB SPL and 103 dB SPL. The idea is simple, but still superefffective, at lower volumes, say 80 dB your speaker can reproduce lower freqencies (45Hz)without distortion, but if you demand 103 dB SPL from a 6.5" woofer in a 4.8 liter cabinet, yoiu will be disapointed. This filter prevents the speaker from exceeding its Xmax and reduces distortion, ensuring clearer sound across various volume levels. It also signifcatly lower power consumptions, which is great when operating on Braarud Smies 50V/200Amp battery pack. 

2. Optimized Enclosures: Through meticulous calculations, testing, and extensive experience, the enclosures are optimized for sound quality and appropriately paired with the correct amplifier size. This ensures that each speaker delivers the best possible audio performance.

3. FIR Filter Implementation: The use of a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter, which multiplies the signal with an inversion, significantly improves the sound quality by enhancing clarity and detail.

4. Active Crossovers: The removal of large and heavy passive crossover components not only makes the speakers lighter but also facilitates easier adjustment and leveling of sound. This results in a cleaner audio path and reduced signal degradation.

5. Divided Frequency Range: By dividing the full frequency range into two or three ways within an active system, the speaker benefits from more precise frequency handling, which enhances overall sound fidelity.

6. Dynamic Volume Control and Limiting: Recognizing the variability in customers' music players, each channel is equipped with a limiter that has a read-ahead capability, along with a dynamic volume knob. This helps maintain consistent sound quality regardless of input variations.

7. Isobaric Configuration: The isobaric speaker design is used to reduce cabinet size and distribute power evenly across two motor systems and suspensions, enhancing audio performance and durability.

8. Robust Enclosure Construction: The enclosures are constructed from single or double-layer 10 mm High-Density Fiberboard (HDF). In double-layer constructions, a 3 mm layer of bitumen is glued between two HDF plates, creating an extremely stiff structure that is further reinforced with 8mm or 12mm iron screws that span the entire construction, stiffening it with nuts on each side of every wall.

9. Customizable In-Situ Measurements: For higher-end models, and as an option for mid-sized speakers, there is an offer to measure the speaker's performance in its intended location and fine-tune its level response to achieve a linear phase system by correcting the phase.

10. Advanced Connectivity and Security Features: The speakers can connect to any network at any time to read and adjust settings per customer preferences. They include fault detection, and, if necessary, can be equipped with a Starlink internet router to ensure connectivity where WiFi or GSM is unavailable. Additionally, they feature a built-in security camera and Google Home interface, allowing for seamless integration with other smart home devices, reporting new individuals in the vicinity or potential fire hazards via SMS.

These comprehensive features make the Braarud Smie Bluetooth speakers not only versatile and adaptive to user environments but also pioneers in integrating audio performance with smart technology.
