Audience is a highly respected American electronics company whose objective is to build the finest possible high performance audio components. Audience is a leader and trend setter in its unique approach to product design, execution and craftsmanship.
Audience is also respected for its business integrity and dedication to its customers. Every employee at Audience strives to improve and push the limits of technology while embracing the human element in all that they do.


In 1972 a chance meeting of two like-minded individuals took place in southern California between John McDonald, local businessman and music lover and the late Richard Smith, forward-thinking designer and audiophile. Together, they discovered a shared passion for music and the art of reproducing recorded music. That love of music arts, still the motivation behind all Audience products, led to the founding of two companies. The first was Sidereal Akustic Audio Systems, Inc. (’79 – ’85). The second was formed in 1997 with a third member, design engineer Roger Sheker, and Audience was established to further the quest to fulfill long held dreams.

ClairAudient Bellare floorstanding speaker, based on design principles of their highly acclaimed ClairAudient 1+1 V5 monitor.
The Bellare features a pair of 3" wide-band drivers that sing from 120 Hz to 22 kHz without a crossover. An active bass module with 300 Watts, remote volume control, and auto room correction handles the low frequencies. With a benign impedance of a nominal 9.5 Ohms, the speaker is very tube-friendly, and with a sensitivity of 88dB, combined with the active bass, is said to work splendidly with only 20 Watts or more.







The 1+1s are a high resolution speaker that brings their A game to the playing field. Audience certainly deserves recognition and these little 3’’ drivers ARE a real contender in the world of HiFi.
"...I gotta say, the top end extension, mid-range resolution, and imaging of the 1+1s is nothing short of incredible."
A little spotlight on Audience’s own ClairAudient Speakers - used by the premier recording studios, artists, and even Nobel Prize winning physicists. Find out more in this video
