The Oswalds Mill Audio (OMA) 'Ironic' speaker is an ultra-modern audio solution that takes industrial aesthetics to the next level with a unit that's crafted with unlike materials. The speaker is achieved with a 3D-printed mold and hypo-eutectic iron for the main body; this is traditionally reserved for silicon chips where vibration and resonance must be kept to a minimum. This enables the speaker to not create a resonating sound to offer pure output that is as clear, crisp and high-quality as possible.
The OMA 'Ironic' speaker features an oversized final shape that measures 132cm in height and 89cm in width. The speaker is outfitted with a field coil woofer that is harvested from a 1930s juke box of which just 20 restored samples were obtained, making the speaker highly limited.
