  • Apogee Stage Speakers

    Product Overview – The Apogee Stage Speakers, released circa 1990, are full-range planar ribbon loudspeakers designed for high-resolution, low-distortion playback, delivering the open, fast transient response Apogee is renowned for.

    Ribbon Loudspeaker Performance – Featuring true ribbon midrange and tweeter elements, these speakers deliver lightning-fast transients, exceptional clarity, and expansive soundstaging that rewards high-quality amplification and careful system matching.

    Design & Sonic Character – The Apogee Stage Speakers use a dipole radiation pattern with large ribbon surfaces, producing natural tonal balance, deep image layering, and lifelike vocal reproduction unmatched by conventional dynamic driver designs.

    Specifications – Nominal impedance is approximately 3–4 ohms with sensitivity around 86 dB, requiring high-current amplifiers capable of stable low-impedance drive to unlock their full dynamic and tonal potential.

    Dimensions – Each speaker measures approximately 1220 mm (H) × 560 mm (W) × 60 mm (D), with a slim vertical profile that still demands adequate floor space and thoughtful room placement.

    Weight – Each speaker weighs roughly 32 kg, reflecting the substantial ribbon assemblies, rigid frame construction, and damping required for mechanical stability and accurate ribbon driver operation.
