Totem Design Characteristics

Acoustic and aesthetic objectives of all Totem projects include:

• Enormous sound and powerful bass from a smaller cabinet that can be conveniently

integrated into any room. These are often considered mutually exclusive characteristics.

• Meticulously crafted for peak performance that lasts decades. Designed obsolescence is
rampant in consumer electronics, we favour longevity.

• Aesthetics must be timeless and not trendy. Totem speakers never goes out of style.

All Totem speakers are developed with these 4 design characteristics:

1-Proprietary scientific formulas are the foundation for the essence of Totem, eschewing outdated
design guidelines and parameters.

2-Customized drivers, each quite unique and either manufactured by us or built to our exacting specs.
3-Hand made crossovers composed of the most exotic components and meticulously assembled.
4-Artisinal cabinet construction, including lock mitred assembly, interior and external veneers,

Borosilicate in some cases, and graded MDF.

The 4 design characteristics produce the following 3 sonic signatures:

1- Holographic imaging for a three-dimensional, expansive soundstage.
2- Bass impact that is forceful and logic defying, considering the conveniently sized enclosure.
3-Most importantly, the linear phase response for uncanny, almost magical realism.
