Dutch high-end audio innovator Aequo Audio is set to make waves at High End Munich 2025with the debut of two groundbreaking loudspeakers, the Adamantis and Ensium. Showcased in Atrium 4.2, Room F.204 from May 15–18, these models introduce a revolutionary enclosure technology using a proprietary nanotechnology material called Diluvite. This world-first achievement minimizes cabinet resonances across an unprecedented frequency range of 1 Hz to 100,000 Hz, redefining acoustic engineering standards.
Revolutionary Diluvite Nanotechnology
Aequo Audio’s Diluvite, a nanotech-based acoustic supermaterial, converts vibrations into heat, creating an acoustically invisible cabinet. This eliminates unwanted resonances, delivering pure, uncolored sound. The material’s castability enables complex, acoustically optimized 3D shapes, adhering to Aequo’s “form follows function” philosophy. Each speaker, weighing over 100 kg (220 lbs), offers a surprisingly large internal volume despite a compact footprint, enhancing bass performance and soundstage.
Adamantis and Ensium: Redefining High-End Audio
The Adamantis is a passive three-way loudspeaker designed for audiophiles seeking deep bass and transparent sound. It features a 10-inch aluminum-cone woofer, a 5-inch Nomex-coated mid-bass driver, and Aequo’s EHDL™ tweeter system for holographic imaging. Priced at approximately $37,900, it promises performance that surpasses its price point.
The Ensium, priced at $44,900, is a 500W bass-assisted three-way speaker with an analog room and placement correction system (ARPEC). This eliminates the need for DSP, ensuring zero latency and natural sound. Live demonstrations of the Ensium will be held in Room F.204, paired with a premium system valued at $330,320, including components like the Taiko Audio Extreme Server ($30,000), Playback Designs MPD-8 DAC ($26,000), and Westminster Lab Rei Mono Blocks ($32,900).

A Vision of Sonic Purity
Ivo Sparidaens, Aequo’s founder and chief technologist, emphasizes uncompromising design: “We begin with a perfect, time-aligned acoustic shape and refine from there without compromise.” The result is ultra-low baffle diffraction, exceptional linearity, and a holographic soundstage that extends beyond the room’s walls. Both models deliver effortless dynamics and natural sincerity, setting new benchmarks for high-end audio.
Experience Aequo Audio at High End Munich
Visitors to High End Munich 2025 can experience the Ensium’s live demonstrations in Atrium 4.2, Room F.204. The setup showcases Aequo’s commitment to sonic excellence, paired with top-tier components. With only a limited number of attendees able to visit due to the show’s exclusivity, early planning is recommended. For those unable to attend, Aequo’s auditorium in Eindhoven offers private demonstrations by appointment.
Aequo Audio’s Legacy of Innovation
Founded in 2012 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, Aequo Audio has rapidly gained recognition for models like the Ensis and Stilla. The introduction of Diluvite and the Adamantis and Ensium loudspeakers solidifies Aequo’s position as a leader in high-end audio innovation. Posts on X highlight the growing excitement for Aequo’s Munich debut, with audiophiles eager to experience the Ensium’s cutting-edge technology.
