Starke Sound Beta5 Loudspeaker
STARKE SOUND BETA5 LOUDSPEAKER LAUNCHED WITH EVERSOLO EQ SUPPORT
Starke Sound has announced the Starke Sound Beta5 Loudspeaker, a new compact model joining its Beta range.
The Starke Sound Beta5 Loudspeaker is positioned as an entry point into the company’s loudspeaker line-up, designed for use in stereo, multichannel and mixed-use home audio systems.
STARKE SOUND
Starke Sound was founded in Southern California in 2009 by a collective of engineers, designers, and audio connoisseurs who were on the quest for the next innovation in loudspeaker technology. From the beginning, their mission was to reimagine high-fidelity sound by uniting uncompromising engineering with bold, contemporary design.
STARKE SOUND BETA5 LOUDSPEAKER AND EVERSOLO COLLABORATION
Alongside the product launch, Starke Sound confirmed an expanded partnership with digital audio brand Eversolo. As part of this collaboration, custom EQ profiles for the Starke Sound Beta5 loudspeaker and the larger Beta7 model will be made available on the Eversolo Play platform. These profiles are intended to allow quicker system setup and optimised performance when the speakers are used with compatible Eversolo hardware.
When paired with the Eversolo Play system, the Starke Sound Beta5 loudspeaker and Beta7 can be automatically tuned using the dedicated EQ profiles. Starke Sound says that this integration is intended to simplify setup, addressing factors such as impedance matching, power efficiency and speaker placement in stereo, surround and gaming audio systems.
STARKE SOUND BETA5 LOUDSPEAKER
The Starke Sound Beta5 loudspeaker is a two-way bookshelf design. It uses a 29mm tweeter with a large voice coil and a 5.25-inch dry-carbon sandwich woofer incorporating Starke Sound’s HEMF technology. The company states that the design aims to deliver controlled bass response, stable imaging and consistent performance across the listening area.
According to Starke Sound, the Beta5 has been developed to handle both music listening and film or television playback. The company highlights clear dialogue reproduction and accurate tonal balance as key priorities, making the speaker suitable for living-room systems where music, streaming and video playback share the same setup.
ENGINEERING APPROACH BEHIND STARKE SOUND BETA5 LOUDSPEAKER
Starke Sound says that all aspects of the Beta5 loudspeaker, including the drivers, crossover network and cabinet construction, have been engineered in-house. Internal vibration control is used to limit unwanted resonance, with the aim of reducing distortion and maintaining consistency at higher listening levels.
The Starke Sound Beta5 loudspeaker is rated for a maximum sound pressure level of 108dB and is built around a precision two-way architecture. The design focuses on phase coherence and controlled transient response, with neodymium magnets used in the driver assembly to support low distortion and stable output.
