THE IDEA

The Fugu speakers were created out of the need for convincing nearfield speakers to gain the right sound to work on our mixes and masterings. Designed and developed by sound engineers Michael Brändli and Florian Wetter from Hardstudiosrecording Studio Switzerland. These passive speakers are built in a wooden, spherical cabinet, which can be aligned perfectly on little stands according to the listeners need. It is possible to mount the Fugu speakers with a hanger on a mic stand or even on the wall.

DESCRIPTION

The Fugu speakers main feature is their superior sound quality representation in a compact unit. Using a single broadband speaker in a sealed enclosure, fine-tuned with high quality passive filter elements, all phase coherence issues are prevented. Fugu speakers have an impressive natural transient response with a flat frequency response and a precise stereo. The linear loudness behavior offers the possibility to work on very low listening levels.

POSITIONING

The Fugu socket gives you the ability to move the speaker in every direction. Therefore it allows creative positioning of the speakers at your workstation. When positioning the speaker you should direct the phase plug (silver spike in the middle oft he speaker) towards you. We recommend placing the speakers at your ears height in a classic equilateral triangle.
