THE STORIES OF FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE
The artwork by Jason Ridgeway beautifully captures the essence of Indigenous culture and traditions. Music, one of these cherished traditions, connects people, tells stories, and evokes a wide range of emotions.
Speakers are often viewed as functional appliances designed solely to reproduce music. This collaboration challenges that perception, proving that speakers are not only vehicles for audible art but can also be a canvas for visual expression.
Each speaker is hand-painted by Jason, making every pair a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. No two are ever alike. If you have a specific theme or color combination in mind, feel free to share your preferences with us.
"A speaker is the canvas in which music is painted"
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Atlas Gouverneur has been designing and building speakers for over a decade. His philosophy is to create speakers that sound natural yet highly revealing.
Trohet is a Nordic word that translates to fidelity and truth. A speaker is only truthful when it can produce a flat-frequency response. Many high-end audio brands claim that their speakers are the most accurate in the world, yet they seldom release measurements to back this up.
I don't want to be another high-end audio brand. I want my customers to see the measurements and know that what they're buying is truthful. Measurements can be seen here.
The Trohet's are neutral in sonic signature and provide immense clarity. The speaker can pick up on the minor nuances of music. Vocals are natural, and reverb is extended and carries through even with instruments playing in front. The center sound stage is present but not overbearing, and stereo width/sound stage is realistic. In short, the Trohet's are designed to make music sound like it should, natural and uncoloured.
WARRANTY
The painted Trohet speakers come with a hefty 10-year warranty on electrical parts. The warranty excludes damage caused by misuse (i.e. blown voice coils).
Should the speakers be damaged by excessive volume, then we're more than happy to repair them at the cost of the parts and time.

The TROHET speakers are designed for critical music listening and are well-suited for general music enjoyment.

HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVERS.
The legendary Scan-Speak 15W/8530 woofer is paired with the venerable Vifa XT25 tweeter. Both drivers produce incredibly low distortion and extended frequency response.
The woofer features a non-resonant cone and a powerful motor and magnet system. This is simply one of the best woofers ever made!
The tweeter employs a dual concentric diaphragm for low distortion and a "nipple" to aid in wide dispersion. The tweeter plays past 30kHz, which helps add "air" and spatial clues to the music.
SUSTAINABILITY
CARING FOR OUR PLANET.
One of the beautiful things about building these speakers is that we control where the material is sourced from.
With increasing deforestation rates and illegal logging, we've pledged to purchase sustainably viable timbers.
For example, American Alder is one of the most sustainable timbers on the planet with plantations growing faster than consumption - even the plantations are indigenous to where they're grown, reducing environmental and ecological impacts.
So. by buying these speakers, you can be assured that together we're making a positive change to how we source timber.
