Know before you buy
This speaker is specifically engineered for open-plan living areas and rooms with high ceilings. Its pendant design allows it to hang closer to the listener, ensuring clear, immersive sound in spaces where traditional wall-mounted or floor-standing speakers might struggle.
Yes, the A’Diva SE is a passive speaker and does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external receiver or power amplifier to drive the audio.
Absolutely. Because of their wide sound dispersion and compact footprint, they work exceptionally well as satellite speakers in a surround sound system, especially in rooms where floor space is limited.
Each unit comes with a 2-meter speaker cable and a dedicated ceiling rose kit. This provides everything you need to mount the speaker and connect it to your audio system right out of the box.
The A’Diva SE uses a proprietary 3-inch ultra-wide dispersion transducer that delivers a surprisingly expansive soundstage for its size. While it offers true hi-fi clarity, its compact 5-inch enclosure is optimized for mid-to-high frequencies, so you may want to pair it with a subwoofer if you require deep, cinematic bass.
Yes, it features a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard home audio amplifiers and receivers.
