MELLOW ACOUSTICS FRONTRO ELECTROSTATIC SPEAKERS UNVEILED AT BRISTOL
Mellow Acoustics will be demonstrating the exciting new FrontRo Electrostatic Speakers at The Bristol Hi-Fi Show in Exhibition Room 413.
Already highly acclaimed by many experts in Hi-Fi audio during its development, The FrontRo is a hybrid electrostatic design with a circular electrostatic unit, about the size of a vinyl LP, above a conventional dynamic woofer in a pyramid-shaped box.
The FrontRo is the only British-built electrostatic loudspeaker, and the design proudly boasts its British heritage, built by hand in England.
Designer Tim Mellow told StereoNET:
Much of what we hear in a live performance is reflected sound which envelopes us to create a sense of spaciousness. Unlike most loudspeakers, the FrontRo is designed to produce good sound in all directions, not just on-axis, to bring the airy sound of a live performance into your living space together with a holographic soundstage, because the reflected sound correlates with the direct.
Furthermore, it is a uniquely compact electrostatic loudspeaker, suitable for even quite small rooms.
A light gossamer film in free space produces the sound. Therefore, this is the closest thing to moving air directly with no cones, domes, heavy coils or boxes to mar the sound.
The FrontRo is currently in production and will be available to order at the show. We will undoubtedly be swinging by Room 413 to check these out.
THE BRISTOL HI-FI SHOW
The Bristol Hi-Fi shows runs from Friday 22nd February through Sunday 24th February 2019 at the Marriott City Centre Hotel, Bristol.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
