Torrent Technology One of our prime objectives was to produce an ultra-compact driver and assemblies that can operate with huge dynamics and precision in a very restricted cabinet volume. A complementary objective of our project was to build an incredibly strong magnet that radiates precisely in disciplined directions and over long frontal distances. For this we needed to reinvent the magnetic foundation of speaker making. The drivers had to be powerful yet compact, strong yet hyperacute. In most standard drivers, the voice coil moves up and down and is mechanically controlled by the suspension and adjacent parts, creating displacement and inherent physical limits and is, in fact, only fractionally controlled by the magnetic structure. At TOTEM, we wanted to go beyond these established limited notions. The TORRENT’s main innovation framework allowed the inner voice coil to “perfectly� oscillate vertically in a positive versus negative environment while interacting as part of the magnetic structure. The result was an extended voice coil throw immersed in a powerful controlled magnetic field that generates pure linearity.

Tribe-III With cutting-edge, patented technology, the Tribe is luxuriously detailed and perfectly proportioned. Exclusively designed, they are among the slimmest wall speakers available, offering a brocade of rich harmonics with world-leading on- and offaxis dispersion and frequency range. The Tribe III is a true full-range speaker that activates sound naturally and effortlessly with complete phase coherence and unequalled dispersion. Using Totem’s in-house produced and hand-assembled Torrent woofer, it sets new standards in all domains. Nuance, inflection, detail, power and flexibility are just some of its qualities.

To expand on the Tribe III’s phenomenal success, To t e m i s i n t r o d u c i n g t h e Tr i b e V, t h e n e x t evolutionary step toward on-wall perfection. Featuring the Totem’s Torrent driver, the Tribe V provides the highest caliber on-wall performance available. The Tribe V powerful drivers provide energy, quickness, bass and articulation beyond anything made. New compact high-efficiency exotic alloy tweeter with 3/8-inch thick aluminum faceplate completes the equation. Its 8-ohm easy impedance load along with its earth shattering resolution and wickedly deep and tight bass (down to low 30’s) will make the Tribe V the ultimate center unit and the world’s finest architectural speaker.
