Welcome to Spatial Audio Lab, where a passion for music meets innovation. Our mission is to craft industry-leading audiophile products that not only receive acclaim from our valued customers but also earn the respect of our competitors. We deliver superior audio experiences with an unwavering commitment to performance, simplicity, outstanding quality, and value without compromising our integrity.
Simplicity and Minimalism: At the heart of our speaker development practice is the open baffle (dipole) design. This approach offers a clean, modern look with exceptional sound characteristics. For a detailed explanation of how dipole speakers differ from traditional monopole (box) speakers, we invite you to read an article by audiophile legend Paul McGowan here.
Soundstage: We believe no other speaker design delivers the highly sought-after trait of soundstage like open baffle. However, it doesn't stop there. Clarity, instrument separation, texture, and overall balance are equally vital. We collaborate with top-notch component manufacturers to find the perfect combination of drivers, capacitors, inductors, and resistors that work in harmony to achieve a flat response curve throughout the audible frequency range.
Quality Materials: In our highest-performing models, we incorporate a solid aluminum base to reduce vibration. The addition of IsoAcoustics feet further enhances isolation. For our baffles, we recommend Ultralam, a material that ensures a superior listening experience compared to traditional painted MDF.
Passion Projects: In addition to our renowned speakers, Spatial Audio Lab has joined forces with Don Sachs and Lynn Olson to create, market, and support a passion-project of theirs—the Revelation Series preamp and monoblock amplifiers. Based on the highly regarded 300B tubes from Western Electric, these amplifiers deliver class-leading power output that's unparalleled..
