What is an active speaker?
Active hi-fi speakers offer many advantages over normal passive speakers. One obvious benefit is that you don't have to worry about choosing the right amplifier for your speakers because everything is built-in. The amplifier in active speakers is perfectly matched to the speakers by our capable engineers, ensuring that you only have to sit back, turn up the volume, and enjoy the music.
Additionally, active speakers provide a simpler system that takes up less space in your home and is much easier to set up. All you need to do is
plug in the active speaker to your power outlet, connect the passive speaker to the active speaker, and you're done.
All our speakers have Bluetooth built-in. Pair your Bluetooth device directly to the speakers and you are ready to go!
In addition to Bluetooth, our speakers also offer other connectivity options. For example, they have an optical or HDMI input for easy connection to your TV, providing you with dynamic stereo sound that even the best soundbars can't match. Most of our speakers also have a direct turntable input on the back, eliminating the need for an external box for RIAA amplification from your turntable.
What is the difference between FORTE MK2 and FENRIS?
We’d be happy pitting our FORTE active stereo speakers against any other active speakers in the market – we think they’d come out on top every time! The sleek cabinet is finished with a smooth and elegant matt lacquer or walnut color. The sound is detailed and has fantastic dynamics thanks to a powerful fully digital amplifier, an all-digital signal path and custom drivers of superb quality. The built-in amplifier delivers a whopping 4 x 80 clean and distortion-free watts, which makes both music and TV sound like a treat for your ears. You also get Bluetooth aptX HD and AAC support for high-quality streaming and Digital inputs supporting high-res audio up to 24-bit/96 kHz.
You can't go wrong with FORTE. This is for real audio connoisseurs looking for pristine, yet punchy, sound, and convenient day-to-day use.
The more budget-friendly FENRIS-series is quite simply in a class of its own in this price range. You get a ton of quality for the money and many of the same qualities as FORTE. To cram all this value into the speakers, we use high-quality PVC for the cabinet instead of lacquer, and the amplifier and drivers are not quite as powerful as what you get in FORTE. But we have still designed FENRIS to look the way they sound: impressive with plenty of sass, and yet elegantly detailed. Some might say that FENRIS sounds more fun while FORTE is more detailed and precise.
There is no Bluetooth aptX HD and AAC support. Instead, you get Bluetooth 5.0, ARC for TV audio, and digital inputs supporting high-res audio up to 24-bit/48 kHz. Bluetooth still sounds great, but if you want the best sound from your FENRIS, use the inputs on the back.
FENRIS handles virtually all sources you could dream of throwing at them. Looking to upgrade your music and TV experience and start your hi-fi journey without compromising your wallet? Then these sound wonders are the right for you.
