Totem Thunderbird
A new addition to Totem's successful Element Series.
NEW PRODUCT: Imagine a loudspeaker that can effectively function in a larger living space while being practically immune to the effects of a room’s acoustical characteristics. The Tribe Tower Thunderbird achieves this and a great deal more. Totem Acoustic’s latest model that employs their universally acclaimed Torrent Technology™ has landed, ready to enrich both the aural and the visual senses.
Embodying the physical characteristics of a contemporary monolith – tall, sleek and awe-inspiring – the Tribe Tower Thunderbird is a uniquely modern lifestyle product that seamlessly mates to any room, from intimate to spacious, providing extreme sonic performance. The obelisk–like shape, which symbolizes power and eternity, allows for uncomplicated placement in any living space, all the while energizing the room with a highly expressive and lifelike musical performance. More to the point, the Tribe Tower Thunderbird will disappear and remarkably defy logic when playing music by marrying a 3D musical canvas to virtually any living space, breathing life through space and sound in an astonishingly unique manner.
NEW 6” TORRENT DRIVER DEFINES TOTEM ACOUSTIC TRIBE TOWER THUNDERBIRD
At the core of the Thunderbird’s performance is a newly developed 6” Torrent™ mid-bass driver. Taking over three years to develop, this driver features a multi-layer voice coil and increased magnet strength, enabling extended bass response down to 28Hz and seamless midrange reproduction up to 7kHz—all without a crossover.
TOTEM ACOUSTIC TRIBE TOWER THUNDERBIRD FEATURES ADVANCED TWEETER DESIGN
Complementing the Torrent™ drivers is a proprietary 1.3” graphene dome tweeter, mounted on a 0.25” thick machined aluminium faceplate. The tweeter is designed for smooth high-frequency extension, contributing to the speaker’s precise imaging and wide soundstage.
CABINET DESIGN ENHANCES PERFORMANCE AND AESTHETICS
The Tribe Tower Thunderbird’s cabinet is a monocoque construction with no parallel surfaces, which enhances rigidity and reduces resonance. Internally, the cabinet uses Borosilicate damping material—unique to Totem—which manages energy dissipation while keeping the structure “musically alive.” The speaker’s tall, narrow profile is designed not just for visual impact but also for acoustic benefit, helping to minimise diffraction and improve spatial performance.
