artists
love!

At Velvet Recordings they have the Sigberg Audio MANTA and dual 10D subwoofers in the control room of their recording studio.

When artists lounge in the control room they are blown away by the realism and dynamic range.

"Manta sounds unlike any monitor I've heard. Thanks to the cardioid dispersion, Manta rewards you with incredible realism! It sounds great, and it sounds exactly right!"

-Christer Krogh, Head engineer @ Velvet studio

We sat down to interview Christer about his experience with the Mantas, read all about it by clicking below.

The
pursuit
of
in-room
accuracy

The unique cardioid enclosure is achieved through a combination of simulation and experimental prototypes. The final result is unlike anything else - both in form and function.

The cabinet is precisely machined by 5-axis CNC machines and assembled by hand. The walnut veneered base is carefully matched for each speaker pair.

Welcome
to
the
main
stage!

Instruments larger than life and distributed precisely throughout your listening space in all dimensions. The delivery is effortless regardless of volume. Our speakers blend the accuracy of high-end monitors with the dynamic capacity of professional audio.

  • A realistic, immersive and emotional experience.
  • Zero distortion and extreme capacity, 122dB@1m per speaker.
  • Integrates perfectly with our subwoofers out of the box - no difficult setup. 
  • Clean, beautiful sound covering the full range of human hearing.

Custom
loudspeaker
stand

Included with your purchase is a heavy duty powder coated, one piece welded steel stand made in Norway especially for the Manta. The 5mm top plate makes it seem like the Manta is floating in the air.

Resting on the stand the Manta has a four degree tilt - carefully calculated for perfect frequency response at the listening position. The stand rests on cushy silicone feet to eliminate vibrations and decouple the speaker from the floor.

MANTA
Active
speaker
system

Different. To dramatic effect.

Traditional speakers radiate sound in all directions. This means less energy at the listening position. Severe reflections from the walls leaves you with a distorted and inferior version of the original sound.

The unique enclosure of the MANTA has a cardioid radiation pattern, directing most of the energy towards the listener. Hear the music directly from the source instead of reflected off your walls.

The result? Unlike anything you've ever heard.

A proven technology

Cardioid response in loudspeakers has been studied and proven to be the most preferred dispersion characteristics (Ferekidis, Kempe, 2004).

It improves clarity, transient reproduction and accuracy of soundstage (Kantamaa, 2020).
