Everything a desktop speaker should be.

  • Compact Size
  • Reference Quality Sound
  • Perfectly Controlled Power

Small size - Big sound.

ORA takes up 20% of the volume of a 5” studio monitor and is small enough to place sideways under a monitor giving you great sound without dominating your space.

Bi-Amplification

ORA’s tweeters and woofers are driven by separate amplifiers allowing them to focus on a specific frequency band without wasting power.

DSP Tuned

Tuned for the studio but exciting enough for everyday use with surprisingly deep bass and little fatigue over long listening sessions – the best of both worlds.

Focus on the important stuff.

A crossover network automatically kicks in when a subwoofer is connected sending all frequencies above 100 Hz to the speakers and below to the sub.
This allows ORA to focus on the mid and high frequencies, playing louder with less distortion.

When you purchase ORA, you’ll receive a FREE 60-day trial to Qobuz.

To help you get the perfect placement for your speakers, we have hand picked a selection of songs and provided instructions to dial in your setup
