AUDIENCE INTRODUCES BELLARE LOUDSPEAKER AT T.H.E. SHOW NEW YORK AND CAPITAL AUDIOFEST 2025

Audience has announced the debut of the new Audience Bellare loudspeaker, set to be unveiled at T.H.E. Show New York 2025 and Capital Audiofest 2025.

The company describes the Bellare as one of its most important product introductions to date, highlighting a focus on musical realism and design refinement.

HiFi SHOW AUDIENCE BELLARE DEBUT

The Audience Bellare, whose name derives from the Italian and Latin for “beautiful”, will appear at T.H.E. Show New York in October, and later at Capital Audiofest, held in November in Maryland. At both events, the Bellare will be demonstrated within a full Audience system, including the company’s new equipment rack, cables, and power conditioners.

AUDIENCE BELLARE LOUDSPEAKER

At the core of the Audience Bellare loudspeaker is an array of 3-inch identical wideband drivers that reproduce the entire range from 120 Hz upwards. This crossover-free design removes the need for separate midrange or high-frequency drivers, aiming to maintain phase accuracy, tonal consistency, and uniform dispersion across the listening area.

This approach, a hallmark of Audience’s design philosophy, is intended to achieve a more coherent and natural sound, with an absence of phase anomalies or abrupt shifts in tonal character.

ACTIVE BASS SYSTEM AND DSP CONTROL

Below 120 Hz, the Bellare loudspeaker integrates an active 300-watt bass module featuring DSP control and automatic room correction. The bass system includes remote volume adjustment, enabling users to tailor low-frequency performance to their listening environment.

This built-in bass section also makes the Bellare compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, including low-powered Class A and single-ended tube amplifiers, since those amplifiers are responsible only for driving the midrange and treble.

AUDIENCE BELLARE LOUDSPEAKER PERFORMANCE AND SPECIFICATIONS

The Audience Bellare loudspeaker offers a reported frequency response of 28 Hz to 22 kHz (-3 dB), with continuous output levels of 105 dB and minimal driver compression. The system’s nominal impedance of 9.5 ohms, never dropping below 8.5 ohms, and 88 dB sensitivity contribute to its ease of drive and amplifier compatibility.

Audience also highlights a smooth impedance curve and phase-linear response, which are designed to maintain effortless amplifier control and consistent tonal balance.
