Speakers need to be able to reproduce the energy of an orchestra, or a soloist, or a vocalist, with accuracy. With clarity. With impact. And hand in hand with the speakers, a good recording can not only present the music of a performance, but the literal soundstage! When you close your eyes you can sense the singer just in front of you, in front of the drummer. Her silky voice a bit breathy, but vibrant and alive. As her hands drift across her mic stand during the recording process not only do you hear this errant touch, but you can recognize that sound for what it is! The bass player is to the left (your left) of the drummer and behind the singer. The guitar player is a little to right of the singer, but moving from her then away farther to the right…
Open your eyes! Is this a live performance? No. You are in your listening room. This is what a speaker is supposed to do. What a speaker shouldn’t do is give away it’s presence with panel vibration or add a coloration to the recording through it’s build material. Why is this so important?
If a speaker vibrates like a drum head or an acoustic guitar, even though the recording is perfectly recorded, mixed and produced, the illusion that the sound engineers worked on in the studio will be lost. Your brain will first sense that this music is coming from those boxes that you understand are “speakers”. The question you need to ask is, can your gear, your speakers, convey this magic soundstage to your ears? Can your speakers transform your listening room to an intimate personal concert? Can something like a speaker actually disappear?
RavenSong speakers are designed with strength of construction and vibration control foremost, using shapes that feel sculpted, solid and grounded. A regular box speaker with its wide flat panels makes that disappearing act much harder to achieve. The curved shapes found in nature might not be as easy to use in speaker design, but these shapes are strong, organic and powerful. They are as natural as a windcut cliff softened with the rainfall of centuries. The shapes that our ancestors used in their day to day lives. Shapes that will add a positive note to any décor. RavenSong speakers use these shapes of understated beauty with purpose. To bring the most gifted and talented genius to light in any home. This is my purpose. This is RavenSong.
