Goldmund Apologue Anniversary Special Edition Active Wireless Loudspeakers

6-Way Active Loudspeaker • Integrated Telos Amplification • Goldmund DSP • Wireless Audio • 24 Hz to 30 kHz • 3,600W per Stereo Pair

Complimentary White Glove Delivery • Travel Reimbursement*

The Goldmund Apologue Anniversary Special Edition is the modern evolution of one of the most significant loudspeakers in Goldmund history. The original Apologue debuted in 1987 as a three-way passive loudspeaker, with only 50 pairs produced. Its sculptural design by Italian artist Claudio Rotta Loria was selected by New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1987. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

The Anniversary Special Edition preserves that unmistakable architecture while transforming the Apologue into a 6-way active wireless loudspeaker with integrated Telos amplification and Goldmund digital signal processing. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

Six-Way Active Architecture

Each Apologue incorporates six individually amplified drive units: one dome super tweeter, one dome tweeter, two 7-inch midrange drivers and two 12-inch woofers. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

Each driver section receives dedicated amplification, eliminating the need for conventional external power amplifiers and passive crossover networks.

Integrated Goldmund Telos Amplification

Six channels of built-in Telos amplification power each loudspeaker.

The super tweeter and tweeter each receive 300 watts. Each of the two midrange drivers receives 300 watts, while each 12-inch woofer receives 350 watts. That provides 1,800 watts of integrated amplification per speaker and 3,600 watts per stereo pair. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

Goldmund DSP and Time Alignment

The Apologue Anniversary incorporates Goldmund DSP technology with correction in both amplitude and phase. Goldmund also applies its time-response correction technology to address the timing relationships between the individual drivers. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

This active architecture allows amplification, crossover behavior, driver response and timing to be engineered as a complete loudspeaker system.

24 Hz to 30 kHz Driver Coverage

The dual 12-inch woofers extend to 24 Hz at -6 dB, while the dedicated super tweeter reaches 30 kHz at -6 dB.

Separate driver sections cover bass, midrange, treble and ultrasonic frequencies, allowing each transducer to operate within a tightly defined frequency range. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

Wireless or S/PDIF Digital Input

The Apologue Anniversary accepts both a digital S/PDIF input and wireless audio input.

With amplification and DSP contained within each loudspeaker, the system eliminates the conventional stack of external power amplifiers and speaker cables. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

An Iconic Goldmund Design

At 72.8 inches tall, 47.2 inches deep and 33.5 inches wide, each Apologue is an architectural object as much as a loudspeaker.

Each speaker weighs approximately 360 kg / 794 lb, reinforcing the importance of proper delivery, positioning and installation. Goldmund offers the Special Edition in Black or Silver Grey. Goldmund| The Art of Sound

Goldmund Apologue at The Grid HiFi

The Goldmund Apologue Anniversary Special Edition is not a loudspeaker that should simply be delivered and placed in a room. Its scale, active architecture and extraordinary performance potential demand proper system and room planning.

The Grid HiFi can design the complete environment around the Apologue, including digital source components, streaming, networking, power infrastructure, acoustic treatment, isolation and precision loudspeaker positioning. For a fully integrated listening space, we can also coordinate lighting, shades and Control4 automation.

For a system of this level, room dimensions, listening distance, speaker placement and installation logistics should be considered before purchase.

Complimentary White Glove Delivery • Travel Reimbursement*

Qualifying purchasers may receive airfare reimbursement for a private audition.

Considering the Goldmund Apologue? Experience it properly before you decide. Call The Grid HiFi at (713) 218-8120 to arrange your private consultation.
