Silent Pound - Open Baffle Brilliance
A speaker that offers something very special...
Can be used successfully even in rooms with a lot of sound reflections
Constant Directivity
The way to decrease the acoustic interaction with the room.
3 times less room resonances with no additional room treatment
Silent Pound - Fixing Room Acoustic Issues
Quality acoustic treatment of your room often can and usually does exceed the cost of quality speakers. Therefore, it makes more sense to enhance sound quality by directing soundwaves toward the listener while trying to radiate as few waves to reflective surfaces as possible thus decreasing interaction between speakers and the room.
Sound diffusion optimization in an acoustically untreated room was our main goal. To achieve it we employed modern CAD and methods of mathematical modelling.
Through careful mathematical analysis, multiple experiments and critical subjective listening sessions we’ve managed to design an acoustic system suitable for various room sizes while maintaining tonal balance, high resolution and spectacular soundstage detail.

Patent pending midrange enclosure
Mid-frequency range plays a crucial part in recreating a sound stage, which is why we’ve paid a great deal of attention to designing mid- and high-frequency range part of the system. To address the mid-range frequency (MF) correction of directivity in the lower part of MF range, we’ve created a unique acoustic enclosure, which allowed to find optimal acoustic balance between MF and LF. Careful experiments and calculations led to significantly more detailed soundstage when compared to traditional systems.
MF-HF range is recreated by a mathematically modelled compact horn of our own original design tuned to match MF. The horn features highest technical specs and and sound very natural without any additions characterized by improperly designed horns.

“the Silent Pound Challenger is quite an achievement”
"Not only is it really well built and finished but attention to detail in both the industrial and acoustic design mean that the Challenger emerges fully formed onto the high end scene."
"I take my hat off to company founders Audrius Balciunas and Martynas Serksnys for making a loudspeaker that’s so capable yet doesn’t take up the sort of space often associated with high end designs. The fact that it was specifically conceived to work in almost any environment should mean that the Challenger meets with success wherever it goes, it certainly deserves to do so."
"The directivity element of the Silent Pounds seems to work well, the sound escapes the boxes really well and the fact that you can play them at level without the room joining in too obviously suggests that the cardioid aspect is doing its stuff. The mids and highs are pretty impressive, Nora Jones’ voice on Court and Spark (River: The Joni Letters) is outstanding or so it seems, however when Herbie Hancock gets to work on the piano the natural acoustic around that instrument gives it a realism that is very convincing indeed. It makes clear just how much work was done to get the voice sounding the way it does."
