Raidho X Series

This entry-level series for Raidho is in no way entry-level when it comes to technology, performance and visual beauty. The X Series aims to provide listeners with maximum performance for the price. In fact, every X model uses a slightly scaled-down version of the tweeter that sits in their statement speaker, the TD6, worth $389,999.

The visual design of this series is one of beauty and discretion. All models will fit naturally into any home. The floorstanding speakers have an elongated wing shape, curved side panels, and bass reflex ports that looks like no other. The stunning beauty continues on the inside.

Raidho Series X ‍Drive Unit

Not only is this drive unit highly advanced and built in-house in Denmark, it's also a piece of art.

Raidho’s Ceramix technology starts with a thin, aluminium cone and then uses a liquid plasma process and incredibly high voltage to transform the outer skin of the metal to aluminium-oxide ceramic. It’s a time-consuming and costly process, but the finished cone is a unique, natural sandwich, with thin, stiff skins on either side of a ‘softer” aluminium core, creating a structure that is stiffer but with excellent self-damping. Breakups first enter at an incredible 12.5kHz. The motor system consists of strong neodymium magnets focused around a very open system, allowing ventilation to the driver with the benefit of cooling the titanium voice coil and removing part of the design that usually causes distortions.

The result is that the speakers disappear even more from the equation, drawing a soundscape without audible distortion and with a pitch-black background that made the instruments stand out and create a holographic soundstage.

The Legendary Raidho Ribbon Tweeter

Raidho's proprietary, trademark ribbon tweeter is a unique design. It is completely designed and built by hand in-house in Denmark. To be exact, it is a planar Magnetic Tweeter due to the tracks in the foil. The foil is 11 microns thick, which means it is 50 times less mass in comparison to a conventional dome tweeter. This is because there is no voice coil and the extremely low weight of the foil (20 milligrams).

The result is virtually no resonances or distortion, and the breakup point is at an incredible 82 KHz! What you hear is amazingly clear and natural sound. All the detail in the world, but no fatigue, no distortion, and no colouration!

Handmade Speakers

"At Raidho we say we have a special knack – so we do not let just anybody assemble a Raidho loudspeaker. What would be the point of innovative developers creating outstanding units, and skilled carpenters building beautiful cabinets in the best materials if the elements are not assembled with due respect for the ultimate product that a Raidho loudspeaker really is? By checking and checking again, we make sure that we live up to our own ambitious goals for the products we want to supply to a quality-conscious and discerning audience."

All the components in a Raidho loudspeaker are designed, manufactured and assembled by Raidho Acoustics themselves. In the design process, they seek to create something unique, and the reward is a very special harmony in the interplay between the design of the cabinet and the design of the sound.
