Ø Audio Ymir

The YMIR is a complete clean-sheet design developed from the ground up to deliver reference-level performance in a human-scale form. Designed for consistent behavior in real listening rooms, the YMIR balances dynamics, tonal accuracy, and usability while maintaining a visual design that reflects both its acoustic and structural purpose. 

Rather than evolving an existing platform, Ø Audio developed the YMIR from a blank-sheet approach, creating an entirely new loudspeaker architecture centered around controlled directivity, low distortion, and seamless driver integration.

Design & Engineering

Compression Driver
A newly developed compression driver utilizes a 76 mm carbon diaphragm designed for low distortion across a wide bandwidth while preserving dynamic capability and natural integration with the woofer system. 

Woofer
The custom-developed 12-inch woofer features a carbon fiber composite diaphragm with a damping core, extended linear excursion, and a highly linear motor system. It is designed for stable behavior across both low and high playback levels while maintaining wide bandwidth performance. 

Crossover
The assisted first-order crossover topology employs custom resin-potted copper foil capacitors and inductors with a low component count to preserve phase coherence, signal integrity, and microdynamic performance.
