At the forefront of the wonderful world of omnidirectional speaker manufacturing is the German brand Duevel. These unique speakers offer a completely rare experience that defies the status-quo of traditional speakers. Designed to bring the live concert atmosphere into your home by radiating sound around the room, these speakers meet ideal acoustics and reproduce a breathtakingly natural, immersive and spatial sound.
What are Omnidirectional Speakers?
The principle behind the omni-directional design is that the sound fires up onto a ball which disperses the sound in every direction. So compared to normal speakers that are designed to be near a wall and fire the sound forward, these speakers can be in the middle of a space and the idea is that you can enjoy fantastic sound in all directions, as such they’re great for open plan spaces too. The acoustic presentation from Omnidirectional speakers tends to be more energetic then conventional speakers, with a wider frequency response and spacious soundstage.
Duevel History
Duevel’s history in omnidirectional speaker manufacturing came from a dissatisfaction with the normality of speaker design. Founded by Markus and Annette Duevel in Germany in the 1990’s, they achieved their first omnidirectional speaker in 1997. The development of Duevel was based on an real passion for innovation in audio and years of research. Knowledge accumulated through this research on radiating horn systems and omnidirectional technology led to the development of Duevel’s unique 2-way crossover and is the same path the brand follow today in order to continuously improve their products.
Today, over 20 years on, Duevel are one of the most famous brands specialising in omnidirectional speakers. Apart from their distinctive looks, Duevel’s speakers are designed to deliver ideal acoustics, directed evenly in all directions for the most natural music reproduction. A better frequency and phase response is associated with Duevel’s omnidirectional speakers which allows a wider spectrum of sound to radiate around any room these speakers are placed in. They are most known for their moderately priced Planets speakers, however there are a selection of higher end models too which we have available on our main website.
