The design of the L242 makes
a clear visual statement, is reduced
and focused on material and finish.
Inspired by the "Folle" an archaic
sound object, which has been used
in the Swiss alps for centuries to
call the "Alpsegen". The basic cone
shape is iconic and self
explanatory.
Purpose and functionality is
understood on the first view.
In contrast to many electronic
products we wanted a 360° design
being attractive from every side
and therefore allowing this sound
object to be placed everywhere in a
living environment.
Design
Hi-Fi meets
Craftmanship
The L242 Loudspeaker is ideal for people looking for a sophisticated sound experience
as well as timeless design.
Material
The design of the L242 is not only driven by the distinctive shape. As important for the
appearance is the choice of materials. The
combination of composite cement, wood, metal
and fabric create a very sensual melange, nice
in look and feel.
The contrasting of the used materials is part
of the charm. The warm, irregular and rough
material of the housing compared with the
smooth, cool and delicate stand gives the
product an unique visual character and haptic experience.
This combination makes the product fit most
modern living environments. A sound object
which can be placed freely within any room in
the house.

Sound
Beauty from within.
The rounded cone shape, gives great stiffness to the housing and avoids sound reflections.
Combined with high performance components of the highest quality make the object sound neutral and allows for fatigue free listening.
The cooperation with experienced sound technicians allow these compact loudspeaker to deliver an performance which drags the listener right into the music experience.
Part of this result is due to the point source (coaxial) driver units from Seas Norway.
They project a realistic and natural 3 dimensional
soundstage right in front of you.
Speaker
Configuration
There are two different loudspeaker configurations.
The only difference between both configurations are the stands, which can be exchanged at any time.
The floor standing loudspeaker, with its stand inspired by the design of the 50ies and 60ies, suits perfectly for a free placement in a living space.
The second version is a shelf loudspeaker, with a very compact stand.
Facts
& Figures
The L242 are stereo passive loudspeakers. Therefore they will be delivered as a pair of two.
The loudspeaker must be connected to an amplifier and both of them should ideally be positioned in the same angle and
distance to the listener.
