makes it ideal for those who want the same Scandyna sound performance but from a product that can be suspended from the ceiling. The Drop is ideal for those who wish to make a statement in both appearance and performance.
BassStation The BassStation is a subwoofer for both stereo and surround sound. The BassStation is emotive and always underpins any sound system. The BassStation with
its 150 watt class D amplifier and 250 mm long throw drive unit creates more emotions than most. It reproduces deep, clear notes that can be both subtle, as part of a symphony, or impressive, as part of a movie soundtrack. As a perfect companion for any of the Scandyna loudspeakers, the BassStation will integrate into any space and enhance the sound performance for a truly compelling listening experience. The BassStation is honoured with a Plus X Award for design in 2005. MicroPod SE Scandyna MicroPod SE speakers are compact speakers for stereo and surround. They are suitable for both two channel stereo and home theatre surround sound applications. The MicroPods are full-range speakers and can be used on their own. They can also easily be matched with a subwoofer for added bass presence. MicroPod SE speakers come with aluminium “Sputnik” spikes or can be wall mounted using the optional wall bracket. In 2006 the MicroPod SE receives a Plus X Award for design.
Future focus —
Podspeakers for the modern generation Even though Danish company Scandyna’s history goes back to 1965 and includes the overwhelming success and iconic status of the Podspeaker range in the 1990s, Podspeakers continue to impress hi-fi enthusiasts with their unique design and impressive sound. What surprises most people is the fact that Podspeakers were designed back in the 1990s. The goal then was to develop high-quality speakers with a unique design that people could afford to buy. The mission has been accomplished, and the results are still astonishing. The company behind the Podspeaker brand today, EET Europarts, will continue to breathe new life into the Podspeaker range, and to ensure that the speakers match the needs of the modern generation. The digital audio era for streaming services is growing, as are the new concepts of multi-room and interoperability between brands and platforms. The Podspeakers’ functionality and performance will change accordingly and will follow this trend, but the core focus on iconic design with great sound will stay the same. EET Europarts hopes to bring the brand and history of Scandyna and Podspeakers great success in the years to come. EET Europarts believes that the design is significant enough to remain iconic as a modern classic that will continue to be relevant to a lifestyle and design oriented global audience.
