Ultra-transparent and Dynamic Sound.
Dollar to Sound Quality/Perfomance is Unrivalled!

The Ara is a 2-way stand-mount speaker kit based on the top line of Satori drivers and was designed by the Danish SB engineering team. It is the smaller brother of the Rinjani 2.5-way with same design concept: to deliver transparent and dynamic sound reproduction.

The gently faceted top corner shape is specially angled to reduce high frequency diffraction and yields superb imaging qualities. 7⁰ inclined baffle slope helps time align the drivers, allowing for a relatively simple crossover design that delivers impressive sound staging. The wedge shaped inner rear walls behind the midwoofers reduce reflections. All the cabinet panels are cut from 18mm MDF with internal bracing to distribute cabinet vibrations evenly and hence lower sound colouration. The Ara is available with everything required to DIY build a stereo pair of speakers.

The cabinets are completely assembled and have a premium high gloss finish available in white, black, salient orange or in black or white satin, only thing is required is for you to install speakers components into the cabinet and your ready to go! The driver holes are precision cut for flush mounting. A rear port is built in, and the back is cut for the included terminal plate with gold binding posts. Internal damping material and driver mounting hardware is included. The crossovers are pre-wired and terminated with slide on quick connects for the drivers. No soldering is required, and kit assembly can be completed quickly with a screwdriver. Assembly instructions are included.
