QLN

At Qln we strongly believe that communication improves, the closer the reproduced music corresponds

to the original performance.

Therefore we strive to create equipment that can make everything in the recorded material audible, in its

finest details and altering as little as possible.

We also believe that you should be able to enjoy music in your home.

Our loudspeakers are designed to perform at their best where they are likely to be used - in a living room.

Qln started in 1977 with an idea about how a loudspeaker should be designed to best reproduce the soundstage.

This fundamental ambition remains today and we save no efforts in refinement of our products and taking advantage

of results from our research.

We want you to listen to music - not to loudspeakers.

Reference 9

Introduction

When tasked with expanding the Qln portfolio with a statement level speaker,
Mats Andersen concluded there was only one meaningful direction to take.
Separate the mid and lower frequency range into two parts.
To accomplish this, we developed a new dedicated 7” Kevlar midrange and
a 9” woofer to form a true 3-way loudspeaker system.
The goal was to enhance several performance areas including further reduction
of distortion and refining presence, timing, timbre, level of detail and micro/macro
dynamics, regardless of level, scale, and complexity of program material.
With the Reference 9 we managed to achieve these parameters and set a new
performance standard for what we believe is possible for a speaker of this size.

Qln Reference 9

We at Qln prioritize designing speakers that faithfully reproduce the human voice
and natural instruments.
It is the balance between driver size, cone material and cone weight that determines
how a speaker will sound and perform.
The integration between all parts in a speaker is to us the most important thing in
music reproduction.
We don’t want to listen to any aspect of the speaker, we just want to listen to music
and come as close to the original recording as we can.
The Reference 9 embodies these principles better than any speaker we have ever made.
