Smokey Blue

Same drivers. Same DSP. Same performance. A completely different object.

The B18 SE is not simply a matter of choosing a different material. It is a fundamentally different way of building a cabinet.

The cabinet is built first — the sides have a large radius so the linoleum is never stretched and keeps its flat, even surface. Forbo Smokey Blue linoleum is then carefully fitted by hand, cut precisely to each surface. All cut-outs for the drivers and port are then routed by hand. The top and back panel are painted matte black.

This is craftsmanship in the truest sense. Carried out by one of Denmark's finest furniture makers. No shortcuts — because there aren't any.

Matte, tactile, antistatic and unmistakably Danish. Smokey Blue sits calmly alongside anything — light wood, dark furniture, concrete walls.

Available in limited numbers — only 50 pairs in this first release. More Forbo colours to follow.

Services and features depend on the chosen solution.

The sound.

The waveguide tweeter extends the soundstage with a precision that makes concert recordings feel genuinely large and intimate recordings feel genuinely close.

Cabinet, DSP and drivers are developed as one complete system. The final sound is tuned through both measurements and thousands of hours of listening and voicing.

Materials and finish.

The cabinet is wrapped in Forbo Smokey Blue linoleum, fitted by hand. Matte, tactile, antistatic and unmistakably Danish. The top and back panel are painted matte black.
