New FrontRo Electrostatics From Mellow At Bristol 2019

February 14, 2019

Mellow Acoustics will be demonstrating the new FrontRo Electrostatic Speakers at The Bristol Hifi Show in Exhibition Room 413.

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. Mellow say that he FrontRo is the only British-built electrostatic loudspeaker built by hand in England.

Compact Electrostatic Loudspeaker

Designer Tim Mellow says: “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.”

It is a compact electrostatic loudspeaker, suitable for even quite small rooms. The sound is produced by a light gossamer film in free space. Currently in production, The FrontRo will be available to order at the show.

The show is on the 22nd – 24th February 2019, 10:00am – 5:00pm, at the Bristol Marriott City Centre Hotel.
