Teenage Engineering and UK distributor Sound Technology Ltd are pleased to announce that the OD-11 speaker is now available in three new colours - Black, Red and Walnut. All are designed to compliment any room or genre with the warm and unique sound of Carlsson's original invention. The OD-11 was the recent recipient of a stunning 5/5 review in BBC Music magazine, described as “an inspired recreation of a legendary product.”
The Stig Carlsson OD-11 loudspeaker was originally launched in 1974. Stig designed his speakers for real homes instead of treated laboratory rooms and by directing his speaker elements upward, towards the ceiling, he was able to widen the listeners ’sweet spot’, which allowed people to move around their rooms and still experience great natural sound.
Re-Engineered by Teenage Engineering
Teenage Engineering re-engineered the iconic and timeless OD-11 by adding an analogue 100 watt amplifier, cutting edge wireless beam forming technology and a computer, within the loudspeaker itself. Together with the Stig Carlsson foundation, Teenage Engineering has recreated the Carlsson loudspeaker and updated it to work perfectly for todays world, where music is stored in the cloud, accessible from anywhere. This collaboration also led to an updated speaker design, producing a cleaner, more powerful bass - a whole octave lower than the original.
The OD-11 is compatible with all music services. Stream your favourite music at home, take it on your holiday and listen off-line with cabin mode, or connect any instrument, turntable, gaming console or TV, for a rich latency-free sound experience.
The OD-11 is now featured in 3 new colours - black (available now), red and walnut (coming soon).
