Style or function - why not both? Clarity of style The Bauhaus movement was based on the premise that "form follows function". This meant concentrating on the functional essence and dispensing with ornament and decoration. When you look at the loudspeakers of the Karat Series with their simple lines and minimalist, puristic design you could think that they had been designed by Walter Gropius himself.
The new unity of form and technology A convincing sound concept The idea behind the Karat Series was to develop an elegant loudspeaker that would offer outstanding sound properties and a stylish slim appearance. The solution to this challenge lay in positioning the woofer on one side and allowing the bass reflex port to radiate the rearwards. The baffle could therefore be smaller, reducing the secondary radiation and contributing to the optimal omnidirectional characteristics of the midrange and tweeter unit. In this way the Karat Series was able to answer the question of style or function with a resounding "both".
