SUPERWAX, THE ORIGINAL.
bold.
Traditional loudspeaker form, classic aesthetics, advanced acoustic design and digital technologies meet bespoke Tasmanian manufacture. A juncture between contemporary audio style and sound engineering.
Reconfigured.
Like any, contemporary loudspeaker design is driven by technology and trends. With Superwax we have integrated modern technologies into a more traditional loudspeaker form.
A constant directivity waveguide has been specifically matched to a 1” exit compression driver to provide uniform high frequency dispersion, resulting in unparalleled acoustic performance. This piece is cast from bronze and hand finished to a soft, smooth lustre.
Dual 15” neodymium woofers provide exceptional bass performance and are accompanied by a 10” midrange driver. All three bands are driven by cutting edge Hypex NCore amplification inside of an engineered birch plywood cabinet, veneered in a selection of timbers.

SPECIFICS.
cabinet
The CNC-cut blackbutt veneered birch cabinet uses interlocking internal parts for rigidity. A sealed trapezoidal cabinet that houses the 10” neodymium midrange device doubles as a sophisticated bracing mechanism for the front and rear planes of the 357 litre bass cabinet. The extrordinary size, combined with two 15” neodymium bass drivers means the ported bass element has effortless extension well into sub-bass, with a smooth, natural roll off.
waveguide
The solid bronze 18” waveguide is cast in Hobart using a green sand method. After hand finishing the once rough bronze surface develops it’s lustre. Each waveguide has a slightly different appearance, a texture leftover from sand casting. At the transducer interface, the waveguide is CNC machined to accept the matched 1” exit titanium compression driver.
technology
A Hypex FusionAmp is mounted to each of the mid/bass cabinets. FA503 units provide a total of 950W per cabinet, with superbly low distortion. This combination makes what could be a complex beast to set up quite simply plug and play. Each loudspeaker has provisions for balanced and unbalanced analogue inputs, along with AES, toslink and s/pdif digital.
the result
It would be unfair to compare Superwax to anything less comprehensive. Whether you crave intense dynamics, punchy bass, or the delicacies of highly detailed textural elements in acoustic music, there’s something to be enjoyed for everyone. It’s broad appeal extends beyond pure acoustic performance, the distinct design elements and material choices speak a universal language. Turn it up.
SUPERWAX IS AN ACTIVE LOUDSPEAKER, BUILT TO ORDER
Superwax is an extremely capable loudspeaker, reproducing music with both finesse and excitement. At one metre wide and tall, it commands listening, and is a bold statement in any space. nCore amplification and Hypex DSP facilitate plug and play integration, with capacity for room correction, and three tuning profiles to taste.
