Recently, the premium speaker brand Transparent from Stockholm, Switzerland has introduced a pair of transparent speakers including the Small Transparent Speaker and Transparent Speaker. Both embody a unique transparent design language, showcasing the internal speaker structure.
Minimalistic, elegant, transparent, luxurious are the words used to describe the design of this Transparent speaker duo. Every detail, line carries the distinctive mark and style of the Scandinavian, Nordic region.
Not only sleek in design but also in the functionality of the speakers, experience firsthand and quickly feel the uniqueness and beauty of these two remarkable speakers.
The minimalist factor is extremely impressive from the first glance of Transparent's transparent speaker duo. The overall design of this 'transparent' duo is simply a combination of aluminum frame and completely transparent tempered glass, almost eliminating the usual lines or details found on a speaker; what remains on the product are the essential components.
This is considered a symbol of the minimalist trend prevalent in recent years, not only bringing avant-garde beauty and aesthetics but also providing timeless durability, resistant to obsolescence. These speakers serve as both entertainment devices and premium interior pieces that blend harmoniously with any modern living space.
However, due to minimalism, the company will cut back too much. The structural components, components on this Transparent speaker duo are all meticulously selected by the company's experts, engineers to ensure durability and operational quality.
First up is the Small Transparent Speaker, from a distance it may somewhat resemble cassette tapes. We have a sturdy aluminum frame, transparent glass covering all sides. The speaker has overall dimensions of 268 × 203 × 95mm compact, but it weighs quite heavy at 3.3kg due to the solid aluminum frame.
The speaker's design is rectangular, with sharp, straight angles. While the corners are also noteworthy when carrying the speaker needs to be careful. Powder-coated on the aluminum frame is an electrostatic paint layer.
Located at the center are 2 full-range driver speakers. While underneath the base frame are the 3.5mm jack, volume control knob, power switch lever, and LED indicator light.
These switches are neatly arranged at the bottom frame to avoid clutter when viewed by homeowners. While the remaining detailed components are 'hidden' under the speaker's base to create the simplest effect possible, contributing to a dazzling, exquisite, and dignified appearance.
This factor also allows us to place the speakers in any position in the room without worrying about overshadowing each other but instead harmonizing with other furniture pieces, together enhancing the elegance of the living space.
The Small Transparent Speaker is equipped with 2 full-range 3-inch drivers, with speaker membranes visibly arranged in a smooth white tone, showcasing the thickness of the suspension. Driving these dual drivers is a Class D amplifier circuit with 15W power, delivering a frequency response range from 60Hz to 20kHz.
The impressive and pivotal point lies in the modular structure technology allowing repair, replacement, and additional upgrades of components according to the homeowner's needs, such as the WiFi Module for multi-room wireless music streaming capability. This also contributes to environmental protection, reducing industrial waste.
In terms of default connectivity, we only have Bluetooth and a 3.5mm jack, without any additional support from apps like in other speaker lines, including the lack of support for high-quality music playback codecs. Everything focuses heavily on simple, elegant, and luxurious design.
Moving on to the larger version, the Transparent Speaker, besides the size difference, the aluminum frame edges will be thinner, with important components along with the connection ports and adjustment switches packaged in an isolated box placed separately from the drivers in a glass layer instead of being placed in the bottom frame like the Small Transparent Speaker.
On the outside of this box are the 3.5mm jack, volume, treble, and bass control knobs, power toggle switch, and LED indicator light.
This design emphasizes transparency and simplification in line with its name Transparent, beautifully elegant with an additional 'hidden' effect to allow users to focus on enjoying the deep and intriguing sound performance.
An overview of the Transparent Speaker is like a glass box containing electronic components, along with a driver system consisting of 2 symmetrical 3-inch full-range drivers, with a 6.5-inch woofer below to enhance the speaker's bass quality. These are the differences between the two transparent speakers from the Transparent brand.
In terms of operational performance, the Transparent Speaker integrates a Class D amplifier circuit with a power output of up to 120W, a frequency response range from 35Hz to 20kHz, and incorporates a high-end DSP circuit.
Connectivity is simple, only via a 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth 5.0, additionally users can connect 2 speakers together through True Wireless feature, playing music from both speakers simultaneously to create a more vivid stereo effect.
Overall, the speaker duo from the Transparent brand has succeeded in beautifully realizing the transparent design, an aesthetics that is difficult to fault and harmonizes with the spirit of modern minimalist living style.
This is not just a product, an electronic device, but can also be seen as a masterpiece, a symphony between beauty and artistry by Swedish designers Per and Martin. They have delivered a work that satisfies both the 'visual' and promises an impressive listening experience.
Finally, the Small Transparent Speaker is priced at 14.5 million VND, while the larger version sells for up to 29 million VND, equivalent to an iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB variant in today's market. If you're someone looking for a speaker that delivers adequate, smooth, and gentle music listening experience while also serving as a premium interior piece that blends seamlessly into any architectural space in your home, then the Transparent speaker duo is the answer for you.
