The updated Grundig Audiorama 9000 loudspeakers are a new interpretation of its classical predecessor of the seventies. The classic Audiorama of the 1970s was a spherical omnidirectional speaker system which remains an iconic image of High-End speakers from that era.

Elements of the original model were revived and reworked into a contemporary context, using new materials and extended details on the shape. The basic geometric shape, a sphere, gives the object a streamlined, clean and pure impression with a dynamic look. The “Equator line” around the middle divides the body into two spherical halves. The high gloss is a stimulating contrast in respect of the matt material covering the parts. This futuristic-looking speakers can be placed on an integrated stand or hanged up to the ceiling and provides clear 360 degrees surround sound without the “lattice fence effect”.

Their abstract geometric shapes recall macro views of viruses, flower-petal goblets, crystals. They are built of indestructible materials like reinforced concrete, steel and granite.
