Modern Flat Speaker
FAQs
VAVIA™ is a patent-pending speaker system that uses Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML) technology to produce sound through vibration, not air pressure. Unlike traditional speakers that push sound from a central point, VAVIA™ spreads sound across a surface — like a resonating guitar body — for immersive, room-filling audio.
Q. How does VAVIA’s DML vibration technology work?Instead of a cone driver, VAVIA™ uses a flat panel that vibrates across its surface. This allows it to project a 180° wide-field sound with no 'sweet spot,' making audio feel evenly present throughout the room.

Q. What kind of music is VAVIA™ best for?
VAVIA™ excels with ambient, jazz, acoustic, vocal, and lo-fi genres — styles that benefit from rich, warm, evenly distributed sound. It’s less focused on bass-heavy impact and more on immersion and detail.
Q. Is VAVIA™ a Bluetooth speaker?Yes. VAVIA™ uses modern Bluetooth technology to wirelessly stream audio from your devices, with low-latency performance and high fidelity.
Q. Does VAVIA™ work with Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube?Yes. Any audio played from your Bluetooth-connected device — including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, podcasts, or radio — will play seamlessly through VAVIA™.
Q. What is VAVIA™ made of?VAVIA™ combines a honeycomb acoustic core, solid hard oak, and anodized aluminum for durability, clarity, and a refined design. Its front is covered in a specially woven acoustic linen fabric, engineered to let sound pass through naturally while adding a soft, elegant texture—far beyond plastic-box alternatives.
Q. Is VAVIA™ eco-friendly?Yes. Both VAVIA Air™ and Go™ use sustainable materials and energy-efficient components. No vinyl, no MDF — just premium, planet-conscious construction.
Q. Can VAVIA™ fill a whole room with sound?Absolutely. VAVIA’s 180° sound dispersion ensures that music isn’t just aimed at one spot — it spreads throughout the space, ideal for open rooms and shared environments.
Q. Is VAVIA™ compatible with smart assistants (like Alexa or Siri)?While VAVIA™ does not have a built-in smart assistant, it can stream from any device that does — so you can control playback via Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant using your phone or tablet.
Q. Can I mount or move VAVIA™ myself?Yes. VAVIA Air™ comes with wall-mounting hardware and is lightweight (only 900g). VAVIA Go™ is freestanding, ultra-light (500g), and designed to move easily from room to room.
Q. Is VAVIA™ available in multiple finishes or styles?Yes. VAVIA™ comes in two models — VAVIA Go™ (portable) and VAVIA Air™ (wall-mounted) — and is offered in natural oak or stained oak finishes. Each unit features one of four distinct Scandinavian fabric artworks, carefully selected to complement modern interiors. The fabric is fixed, not swappable, ensuring a seamless and durable design.
Q. How is the sound different from a Sonos or KEF speaker?While Sonos and KEF use traditional air-pushing drivers for directional sound, VAVIA™ uses surface vibration for non-directional, immersive sound. Think: less boom, more bloom.
Q. Does VAVIA™ support stereo or multi-room pairing?Yes — but only with VAVIA Air™. It features TWS (True Wireless Stereo) technology, allowing you to wirelessly pair two units for true left/right stereo separation and an expanded soundstage. VAVIA Go™ does not support pairing.
Q. Where is VAVIA™ designed and manufactured?VAVIA™ is designed in Denmark by Openhagen, creators of award-winning Danish audio products. Every unit reflects our mission to Set the Tone of Your Home — combining premium sound, timeless design, and eco-conscious craftsmanship. Built for clarity and longevity, VAVIA™ is assembled using globally sourced, high-quality components.
Q. Can I pair two VAVIA™ speakers together?Yes — but only with VAVIA Air™. It features TWS (True Wireless Stereo), which lets you wirelessly link two units for true left/right stereo playback. One speaker becomes the left channel, the other the right, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage — all without cables.

A Speaker That Plays With You, Not At You
Traditional speakers push air at you, creating a spotlight of sound — bright in the center, fading at the edges. VAVIA is different. It creates sound through vibration, not just air pressure — behaving more like a softbox for your ears, spreading every note, chord, and texture evenly throughout the room. Whether you’re sitting at your desk or strumming across the space, the experience stays consistently rich, smooth, and immersive — like the music is playing with you, not at you.
VAVIA stands for Vibrational, Airflow, Virtualized, Immersive, and Acoustics — capturing how it makes sound felt, moves air with intention, simulates space, pulls you in, and stays rooted in sound science.
