Transparent Unveils the Brutalist Speaker

As a music enthusiast with a keen eye for design and a deep appreciation for architectural styles, I must say that Transparent’s Brutalist Speaker has truly captured my imagination! The fusion of brutalist aesthetics, known for its raw, unapologetic beauty, and high-quality audio technology is nothing short of captivating.


Transparent unveiled their newest speaker, the Brutalist Speaker, which pays tribute to the unique and lasting architectural design known as Brutalism, still resonating in the depths of modern 21st-century consciousness.

The audio brand based in Stockholm, recognized for crafting stylish yet minimal speakers, has applied its unique aesthetic to envision a brutalist speaker design. The outcome is truly distinctive.

Transparent’s new speaker, primarily constructed from metal, boasts an impressive 70% post-consumer recycled aluminum. This reflects their commitment to becoming the pioneer in circular technology. Dubbed the Brutalist Speaker, it stands tall and is designed meticulously for optimal acoustic performance. The speaker’s unique soundscape is enhanced by intentionally engineered features such as dual three-inch tweeters positioned at a 90-degree angle from each other, claimed to deliver clear high-frequency sounds. Moreover, the carefully placed bass drivers ensure clean and undistorted low frequencies, which the brand refers to as “powerful yet effortless.

Standing proudly at approximately 2 feet tall, the Brutalist Speaker exudes both command and mystery. It’s just as likely to initiate conversation as it is to play music. And, just like its appearance suggests, it’s quite substantial, tipping the scales at around 10.5 kilograms.

According to the brand’s co-founder and creative director, Per Brickstad, it’s thrilling to introduce this iconic architectural style into households. He explains that the Brutalist Speaker embodies Transparent’s philosophy which asserts that audio devices can be visually captivating, technologically sophisticated, yet user-friendly all at once.

Regarding its technical capabilities, the Brutalist Speaker offers a broad frequency range of 32Hz to 20kHz, capable of producing high-resolution audio up to 192kHz at 24-bits. It supports various formats (including MP3, FLAC, WAV, among others) and works seamlessly with numerous popular streaming services like Apple’s AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect straight out of the box. Additionally, it allows wireless connection to your devices through both Bluetooth 5.2 and dual-band WiFi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz).

Established in 2012 by Martin Willers, Per Brickstad, and Magnus Wiberg, Transparent Speakers continues to call Stockholm home – a team of sound specialists who have seamlessly combined their audio know-how with a discerning sense of style, resulting in a unique look that sets them apart in the realm of speaker design.

You can purchase The Brutalist Speaker immediately from Transparent’s website. It comes in two options: a sleek ‘Black’ or a metallic finish. The price is set at £3,200 GBP, €3,800 EUR, or $4,000 USD.
