Already highly acclaimed by many experts in Hi-Fi audio during its development, The FrontRo is a hybrid electrostatic design with a circular electrostatic unit, about the size of a vinyl LP, above a conventional dynamic woofer in a pyramid-shaped box.

The FrontRo is the only British-built electrostatic loudspeaker, and the design proudly boasts its British heritage, built by hand in England.

Designer Tim Mellow told StereoNET:

Much of what we hear in a live performance is reflected sound which envelopes us to create a sense of spaciousness. Unlike most loudspeakers, the FrontRo is designed to produce good sound in all directions, not just on-axis, to bring the airy sound of a live performance into your living space together with a holographic soundstage, because the reflected sound correlates with the direct.

Furthermore, it is a uniquely compact electrostatic loudspeaker, suitable for even quite small rooms.

A light gossamer film in free space produces the sound. Therefore, this is the closest thing to moving air directly with no cones, domes, heavy coils or boxes to mar the sound.

The FrontRo is currently in production and will be available to order at the show. We will undoubtedly be swinging by Room 413 to check these out.
