Raidho Acoustics has announced the X1.6 Reference, a compact standmount loudspeaker based on the company’s existing X1.6. The launch adds a higher-specification Reference version to Raidho’s compact loudspeaker range, with public presentation scheduled for High End Vienna 2026.
The X1.6 Reference is handbuilt in Denmark and keeps the standmount format of the X1.6 while revising the loudspeaker as a complete system. Raidho has developed the cabinet, crossover, drivers and internal wiring together for the new version.
A rear-mounted passive radiator is part of the design, intended to increase bass output and scale from the compact cabinet. Raidho has also introduced a Raidho / Scansonic stand for compact loudspeakers, available in black or white finishes.
