Teenage Engineering / OD-11 / Speaker / 2014

teenage engineering is proud to announce the release of the OD-11 cloud speaker for the us market, starting from 18th july 2014.

OD-11

the original stig carlsson OD-11 loudspeaker, from 1974, is back forty years after the original launch. as practically all swedes know, booming in the 70’s, the carlsson loudspeakers challenged a whole industry, resulting in hundreds of thousands of swedes replacing their old speakers with the stig carlsson signature ’ortho acoustic’ loudspeakers. never before had their frank zappa album sounded so good.

the reason was stig's invention, designing his speakers for real homes instead of damped laboratory rooms. 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

today, almost exactly 40 years later, teenage engineering has re-engineered the iconic and timeless OD-11 by adding an analog 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 true 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. because hip hop music with it’s low bass was not invented in 70s.

the worldwide launch will be through the museum of modern art, moma design stores in new york. you will be able to hear for yourself, the amazing sound of stig carlsson’s speakers, from 18th july.
