If you’re in the Newport Beach area at the end of next week, you may want to stop by T.H.E. Show: Newport. The event will be open to the public, offering live jazz, food, classic cars and a total of more than 250 home entertainment exhibitors. Not sure where to go? Just follow the sounds of Audience.
Audience will be at the show to debut its new Mark II ClairAudient 16+16 loudspeaker. The 16+16 packs a whopping eight 6 x 9-inch custom passive radiators inside a single one-way, bipole speaker.
Of course, there’s still plenty of room in a cabinet that measures 15 inches wide by 12 inches deep by 6 feet tall. Audience says it also incorporates 32 A3-S2 drivers per channel, a frequency response of 30Hz to 22kHz, and the company’s SSIT SweetSpace Imaging Technology.
Designed, engineered and handcrafted in the United States, the ClairAudient 16+16 Mark II is available in your choice of exotic wood finishes for $72,000 per pair (MSRP). Check them out for yourself at T.H.E. Show: Newport, which runs from June 1-3 at the Atrium Hotel: Orange County Airport and the Hilton Hotel: Orange County Airport, which are both in Irvine, California.
