UMAI Speakers

The signal goes from your amplifier to the driver. Nothing touches it in between.

UMAI is a passive full-range speaker built around a single 6.5″ driver and no crossover. The cabinet is Baltic birch. The stand is the cabinet. One object, from one decision.

Every speaker designer faces the same problem. A single driver can't cover the full frequency range — or so the assumption goes. The standard solution is a crossover: an electronic circuit that splits the signal into bands, routes bass to one driver, treble to another, and reassembles the result in your room. It works. It also means the signal your amplifier sends is intercepted, divided, and recombined before a single sound wave reaches your ears.

The F6S driver in UMAI covers 48Hz to 17kHz — the full range — without help. There is no crossover because there is nothing to route around. The signal travels from your amplifier to the driver, intact.

The cabinet is 12mm Baltic birch, mitre-joined at 45°, sanded to 400 grit, and finished with a satin oil. The legs are part of the cabinet — not a separate purchase, not an afterthought bolted to the bottom. One object, considered as a whole. The driver and the finished unit come from the same factory, consistent from the inside out.

UMAI is a passive speaker. It needs an amplifier and a source. It pairs naturally with a vinyl setup
