Solana
Point source speaker optimized for flexible deployment across a range of use-cases. Features a medium-wide coverage pattern with a highly transparent neutral tonality.
Designed with adaptability in mind, this speaker is enjoyable in home, studio, and live sound environments. The high output pro sound drivers ensure ample headroom for deployment in more demanding settings, while simultaneously delivering a highly refined sound as needed for critical listening sessions.
Flexible Deployment
Innovative Features
In order to make the Solana a reality, several novel approaches to loudspeaker design were necessary from the turbulence-minimizing port profile, to the compression driver’s unique phase plug geometry. Recent advances in additive manufacturing allow for the highly complex waveguide to be reliably manufactured using SLA and advanced resin formulas.
Performance Driven Design
The Solana project began with a goal of creating a speaker that prioritizes smooth directivity control & a coherent integration of drivers above all other metrics. An iterative genetic algorithm optimization process was created to produce the complex waveguide profile to achieve the required wavefront, while intentionally minimizing harmful diffraction from the bandpass ports.

Operating Frequency Range: 45-17,000Hz
Maximum Working Output*: 109dB in full range mode / 120dB when using external subwoofer (100Hz HPF)
Coverage: 90° horizontal x 90° vertical with controlled directivity down to 700Hz
Driver Complement: 4x 6.5” woofers + 1x 1” HT polymer diaphragm compression driver
*maximum working output is defined by a measured 10% harmonic distortion threshold at any point in the operating frequency range at a calculated 1 meter distance in half space radiation.
