Omnium
FLOOR STANDING LOUDSPEAKER

The Omnium is a celebration of the “modular design” that Wilson Benesch added to its design philosophy when it released the ground-breaking Odyssey Range in 2001.

  • With each new design, the modular design approach builds upon the lessons of its predecessor. Like the Porsche 911, the Omnium is then not a singular design, but rather the latest evolution of a living lineage – more than 30-years of incremental improvement in the pursuit of genuine world-class audio reproduction. It is this heritage that can be seen to have honed every single detail of the new Omnium loudspeaker.

    Omnium – from the Latin “of all”

    The name Omnium was chosen in recognition of this landmark, the name means of all, and it is a reference to the heritage of three decades of research and development that has come before it. Whilst the Omnium references all that has come before it, it is also a product that marks the dawn of the next generation of materials technologies developed through a collaborative research and development project – SSUCHY.

    The stepped features seen in the Omnium’s foot are a reference to its larger sibling the Eminence. Hewn in house by Wilson Benesch from a single billet of aluminium to reduce an 80kg solid billet of aluminium by more than half, to create a single 38kg Omnium loudspeaker foot. This formidable component governs over the energy above by way of the 14mm tie bolts that generate a metric ton of compressive pressure through the Omnium enclosure. This is the foundation, ground zero and arbiter of performance.

    Omnium stands boldly as the industry-leading design in this market sector from the pioneers and leaders in composite loudspeaker design.Through expert design and craftsmanship, advanced materials technology has been combined with geometry in every component to created a stand mount loudspeaker design with no compromise. The Endeavour faithfully reproduces the musical ensemble, as though the performers were there in the room before you. TECHNOLOGY: Since its foundation, Wilson Benesch has invested heavily in ambitious research and development projects in the fields of materials science and manufacturing. The Endeavour exploits more than two-decades of work, to incorporate a multitude of cutting edge Wilson Benesch technologies.

    From the very latest technology, the Carbon-Nanotech Enclosure, to the Isobaric Drive System, the A.C.T. Monocoque and a number of highly engineered, geometrically optimised carbon fibre and alloy components, the Endeavour is a masterpiece of engineering. REVIEWS: "The Endeavour turns accepted notions of the established audio swings and roundabouts on their head, surprising and delighting in equal measure. But most of all it succeeds in achieving that quality shared by all really great loudspeakers – the ability to put the music first." Roy Gregory, The Audiobeat, February 2015
