The OPPO Sonica Grand is a wireless speaker designed with the latest technology that provides sound quality unattainable by conventional compact speakers. It can be installed anywhere where there’s a 220V power outlet, so it’s perfect if you want to listen to music from your smartphone or tablet without any hassle, turn on your Internet radio or streaming music service, or play audio from a multi-room audio system.

Literally everything about this speaker works for sound quality. Case is a monoblock, stamped from a single aluminum plate. As a result, it does not vibrate even at high volume levels. Housed in a three-way speaker system with seven active drivers, each pumped by a separate amplifier.

The three woofers are oriented on the front panel to maximize the stereo effect area but the most interesting thing here are the tweeters. These are unique ribbon planar-type transducers found exclusively in High End audio systems. Their creator is our former compatriot, engineer Igor Levitsky. Back in the USSR, he developed the first Soviet magneplane headphones TDS-7, and today he embodies the idea of orthodynamic drivers in the OPPO line of High End headphones.

Levitsky worked on BG Radia planar speakers in the U.S., and this experience formed the basis of the new development for OPPO. Ribbon tweeters used in Sonica Grand provide smooth and detailed reproduction of high frequencies without excessive ringing and harshness.

In addition to a serious matrix, there are many options for optimizing and adjusting the sound of the acoustics, allowing you to take into account the peculiarities of the room and preferences of the owner.

Sonica Grand works via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and allows you to enjoy the benefits of both technologies. Thanks in particular to its Wi-Fi support, you can control Sonica Grand from any room and play high-quality recordings, while sending sound to multiple Sonica Grand speakers installed in different rooms at the same time. Bluetooth compatibility makes it quick and easy to set up wireless communication in places where Wi-Fi is not available.

You can control Sonica Grand from a dedicated app for smartphones and tablets, which lets you stream audio files of up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution from your mobile device, USB drive, or NAS server to your speaker. And it supports AirPlay and DLNA – via wired Ethernet or wireless Wi-Fi connection. There is also a 3.5mm input for direct connection of any analog signal sources.
