All the standard press release info is below, blah blah blah as is often the way. At least Ø Audio are not trying to convince us that they have a reinvented the wheel. What they have done is push the performance that is on offer that this level of investment. We have the Frigg 02 in store and simply put they are an exceptionally capable 3-way design at £12995 ( July 2026). If PMC were making a Prophecy 11 or Prophecy 9 Signature this is probably where it would sit.  The speakers have lots of output when you need it and lots of detail when it is quiet – key requirements for everything that joins our portfolio of products. The Frigg 02 bring a large scale and articulate presentation with tight bass. There is no false thunder at the bottom – something that is very common in products at the performance level down. Even with modest amplification the bass notes of Hyper-Ballad by Bjork are presented clearly with plenty of drive – even when close to the wall.  The Frigg 02 is very different to the O Audio  Icon 12 and larger still O Audio Verdande in character, it doesn’t really form a range in terms of an evolution of sound but that is no bad thing to our ears.  The Ø Audio Frigg 02 in Gloss Black are on display and available for demonstration in our Edinburgh showroom, please contact us for more images and details on how these speakers may fit into your system.

FRIGG 02 is the start of a new era for Ø Audio.

A more conventional looking speaker, but with a true Ø Audio DNA. The FRIGG Series is definitely more than meets the eye.
The FRIGG Series Model 02 is a 3-way floor standing loudspeaker. It’s a no-nonsense design meticulously developed and crafted to take on even more expensive competitors. With a compact footprint, and modest physical appearance, FRIGG 02 surprises listeners with a powerful, detailed and large soundstage. Yet it treats delicate passages with beautiful tone and precision.

Directivity Control

Just like our larger horn-based models, FRIGG 02 also has directivity-controlled tweeter. The patented DXT-technology provides directivity control despite being a compact waveguide.

This technology provides an even sound characteristic within the working area of the waveguide.

The Tweeter

Coupled to the DXT waveguide is a special dome tweeter developed in cooperation with Norwegian company SEAS. The dome is a unique Metamodal Spread Tow Carbon Fiber design. Also called TPCD. The unique feature of our TPCD-dome is that it’s developed to combat modal behaviors in the dome.

This is the first time a tweeter with these combined technologies has been used in a commercial loudspeaker.

The Midrange

Our midrange driver is where classic meets progression. Together with SEAS we combined a classic hand-coated paper cone on a 26mm titanium former and an inverted surround with a modern low-distortion motor system.

The result is a low distortion midrange with a beautiful tone.

The Woofer

To match the midrange driver, again we combined our vision with the expertise of the engineers at SEAS. A matching hand-coated cone on a 52mm titanium former and a large motor structure secure the deep and dynamic bass response.

The Crossover
Some say the crossover is the heart of the speaker, others say it’s the brain. We say that it’s both.

A crossover has two main functions. One is to control the acoustic response of the drivers, the other, which of course is linked very closely to the first, is to give the speaker its character.

We design the crossovers to get the best performance out of every speaker. Many designers claim that one topology is superior to another, which in our opinion is not only false, but it limits the possibilities to get the best sound out of a specific design.

For FRIGG 02 we ended up with a hybrid low order crossover. This crossover is a strong contributor to the coherent sound as well as the lively sensation of almost “being there”.

The crossover was designed with the help of modern measurement and simulation tools with numerous listening sessions during the process. FRIGG 02 is designed to work in real-world listening environments, not to just measure well in controlled environments.
