Borresen X2

Børresen X2 - Revolutionary floor speakers with sublime sound quality

The Børresen X2 speaker series is a ground-breaking floor-standing speaker that combines quality, performance and affordability in a unique way. With these speakers, Børresen has developed an entry-level model that enables even more people to experience the extraordinary world of Børresen sound. The Børresen X2 loudspeaker is built on the basis of Børresen Acoustics' long development traditions, unique design philosophy and in-depth technological expertise.

Technologies and Components

Børresen X2 speakers are not only an entry-level model in the Børresen family, but also represent a remarkable step forward in quality and performance in their price range. These loudspeakers benefit from all the knowledge gained through the development of the M, 0 and Z series. Components from these exclusive series are incorporated into the Børresen X2 loudspeakers, including the innovative Spread-tow carbon membrane, the highly praised Børresen ribbon tweeter and the use of copper sheaths in the magnet motor system.

X2 Series Diaphragm - Bass/Midrange

The ground-breaking membrane in the X2 series is designed with the aim of achieving maximum stiffness and minimum noise. To achieve this unmatched performance, all components were designed, developed and assembled in-house. The X2 membrane consists of three layers, laminated into a single unit: two layers of dispersed carbon fiber, with a layer of aramid honeycomb spacers in between. This unique composition of materials gives the membrane its unique properties. Dispersed carbon fiber is designed to provide optimal stiffness, reducing disruptive sound vibrations and resonances to unprecedented levels. Aramid honeycomb has the best stiffness-to-weight ratio in the vertical direction. The flat response of the diaphragm, in terms of resonances, enables the creation of an extremely transparent speaker with a smaller magnet motor system to optimize costs.

Unique magnet motor system

In the X2 series magnetic motor system, double copper jackets are used on pole rings to achieve high flux and low inductance. This technology has been borrowed from the Børresen Z series. Copper helps reduce electromagnetic resonance by counteracting flux changes, resulting in a flatter inductance curve and fewer peaks in the impedance curve. This reduced inductance puts less stress on the amplifier. To ensure high efficiency, the X2 series is equipped with two pole rings, and any loss of flux is compensated by a larger magnet.

Ultra light treble without distortion

The tweeter chosen for the Børresen X2 series uses the same basic design as in all other Børresen speaker series. However, a reduction in magnet and iron mass has been achieved thanks to the extremely efficient design. This results in only a minor reduction in efficiency from the remarkable 94 dB to 90 dB, which is still remarkable efficiency for a tweeter. The treble works from approx. 2.5 kHz and up. With an extremely low moving mass of just 0.01 grams, the tweeter can react incredibly quickly. The high robustness enables handling of very sharp transients without causing muffled tones.

First-class partial filters from the Z series

The Børresen X2 series is equipped with a parallel crossover filter, which uses the same first-class components as the Z series. This results in a very mechanically stable crossover filter that minimizes self-resonance.

X2 Series Cabinet

The surface of the cabinet is elegantly finished in black piano lacquer and reinforced with carbon fiber inserts. The cabinet is made of a strong reinforced wood composite that eliminates sound distortion and reduces mechanical influences, including hysteresis. This construction provides superior sound reproduction. The X2 series is equipped with bass reflex ports and the tweeter is vented to compensate for air pressure build-up. The bass section contains tuned ports calibrated to musically relevant frequencies.

The Børresen X2 loudspeakers combine these technological innovations and components to deliver a remarkable sound experience. The unique diaphragm, advanced magnetic motor and high-performance tweeter ensure that the music is reproduced with incredible clarity and precision. This series of loudspeakers offers exceptional quality and performance in its price range and is the ideal choice for audio enthusiasts looking for an affordable way into the Børresen universe. The Børresen X2 speakers are not just speakers; they are the gateway to a unique musical experience.
