Clarisys Audio has reimagined what can be experienced from a ribbon loudspeaker. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Apogee Acoustics designs of yesteryear (1981 to 2001), Clarisys Audio emerges as the spiritual successor, breathing new life into the legacy of high-fidelity ribbon speaker sound.
The Apogee Acoustics of the 1980s set a precedent, captivating the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide. Since their departure, the quest to replicate their magic remained unfulfilled until Clarisys Audio entered the scene. With a commitment to excellence, Clarisys Audio redefines the boundaries of what’s possible with pure ribbon loudspeakers, establishing a new pinnacle of performance and craftsmanship.
In a testament to innovation, Clarisys Audio joins forces with Convergent Audio Technologies (CAT), renowned for its legendary CAT SL1 preamplifier, synonymous with excellence in tube electronics. Just as Clarisys Audio sets a new standard for speakers, CAT continues its tradition of excellence in amplification.
While many audio manufacturers come and go, leaving customers in constant pursuit of the next trend and ‘flavour of the month’, Clarisys Audio stands apart, embodying longevity and satisfaction akin to its predecessors. The enduring legacy of Apogee and CAT products resonates with loyal clients, a testament to their enduring quality and performance. Clarisys Audio is poised to follow suit, offering products designed to stand the test of time.
Even now, over 30 years later, the mastermind behind CAT, Ken Stevens, is as determined as ever to bring live music into our homes. From May 2024 onwards, Clarisys Audio Switzerland (a subsidiary of Clarisys Audio Global) will become the general European importer of CAT products.
Founded in 2014, Clarisys Acoustics Technology (Clarisys Audio) has emerged as a pioneering force in ribbon loudspeaker technology and research. Trusted by leading companies such as Soulution Audio, Lampizator, Shunyata Research, and CAT, Clarisys Audio continues to push the boundaries of innovation, setting new standards in audio excellence.
So, what makes Clarisys Audio unique?
Firstly, its drivers are crafted from the same material substrate, ensuring perfect coherence throughout the audio spectrum. Each drive unit boasts a standard impedance value, meticulously matched at the driver level to eliminate the need for audio resistors in the crossover. Moreover, Clarisys Audio offers easily upgradeable drivers at a fair price point (between 10% and 20% of the retail price), ensuring a sustainable product lifecycle and investment protection for clients. Backed by an in- home warranty of up to 5 years on parts, labour, and travel, Clarisys Audio stands behind its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
