Overview

adapts to every room

Thanks to its concentric design, the speaker can be installed vertically or horizontally. On the bookshelf, table top or stand.

As characteristic for all Gradient designs, the result is extremely accurate, stable and three dimensional sound stage in a wide listening area.

also for cinema surround systems

In addition to the two-channel stereo, a high quality multichannel sound system can be built using BS-1 for front, center and surrounds.

Since the similar co-axial technologies has been used in Gradient floor-standing speakers, equal sound properties give the opportunity to mix different Gradient models successfully to produce the very best, cinema and Hi-Fi systems.

listening without headphones

Since the Gradient BS-1 is a point source, you can listen to it also very close. Enjoy a three-dimensional sound even in a small space. A real alternative to headphone listening.

proven technology

The BS-1 utilizes the technology platform of the highly regarded Gradient 5.2 model. Numerous hours of product development and advanced manufacturing process have enabled a high-end product at a very competitive price.

simplification of form and colour

The minimalistic BS-1 is available in black or white or even black & white. You can later change the appearance by changing the loudspeaker grill. The grills are easy to change and can be ordered separately from Gradient.

easy to connect

No speaker connector is easier to use than the high-quality Neutrik speakON which we have selected also to BS-1 as a standard. Lockable speakON provides convenience and safety. It makes a better electrical connection than any other speaker connector.

Gradient manufactures speaker cables with different lengths. The length of the optional speaker cable can be selected by the customer when making the order. Normal single wiring is recommended in most cases. Fine tuning for audio frequency ranges with two power amplifiers is also possible when bi-wiring is selected.

If a cable has not been selected in the order, we will deliver a speakON cable connector with installation instructions along with the speakers.

made in Finland

Like all Gradient products, the BS-1 is also handcrafted in Finland. A large part of even the individual electronic components are manufactured in Finland. With this, we ensure the high quality and longevity of the product. And there is no need to doubt whether the product is responsibly manufactured.

Discover the technologies

flat energy response

The frequency response of all Gradient speakers at the listening position is extremely flat; but this alone is not sufficient for Gradient. Every speaker radiates at least some sound in all directions. If the energy response of a loudspeaker has peaks and dips, the reverberant sound field will be uneven, colouring the music. Frequency response measured in all directions must be linear in order to ensure linear energy response.

coaxial one point source

The new BFC (Black Fibre Cone) coaxial driver developed by Gradient and Seas of Norway is very special. Covered by our extremely transparent grill design it exhibits controlled dispersion patterns, allied to an ultra smooth spectral balance, in a wide listening area.

A 176mm BFC-cone operates up to 2.8kHz. High frequencies from 2.8kHz to over 20kHz are reproduced by a 25mm Al-dome tweeter placed at the apex of the midrange cone. Such a point source is generally accepted as an ideal sound source for its excellent phase and amplitude response. The end result is an extremely accurate, stable and three dimensional soundstage.

passive radiator

The passive radiator, designed by Gradient is situated in the rear wall of the loudspeaker enclosure. It extends the bass response at the lowest frequencies, without the common disadvantages of vented box designs.

bi-amping

Bi-amping allows fine tuning for audio frequency ranges when two power amplifiers are used. Bi-amping is possible when 4-pole cable and speakON connector are selected.
