Echo LS
The best possible speaker setup in a nutshell. Speakers that stand on a Subbase écho LS work as they were designed, under ideal conditions.
State of the art lourspeaker base
All our further developments are based on Subbase écho technology. With it, we create the most universal and perfect working environment — set-up — for every loudspeaker. This universality is only possible because the Subbase écho LS works mercilessly neutrally, which means that the resonance frequencies of the respective loudspeaker are timed — balanced.
A loudspeaker is the last link in the audio system. The mistakes that arise here make it impossible to experience music authentically. Everything that is tried to do correctly in front of the loudspeakers, for example by installation or cable, is just a compensation of the errors that the loudspeaker modulates into the signal.
When your loudspeaker is on the Subbase écho LS, this is the first time you hear its real performance, which for the most part does not even know its developer.
Technology
As installation approaches, there is decoupling from the subsoil (floor) and coupling to the subsoil. With Subbase écho technology, we combine both concepts and thus achieve the perfect function. The Subbase écho LS decouples the loudspeaker from the floor, i.e. from the dimensions of the room, and at the same time provides the loudspeaker with a homogeneous, perfect timing space. The loudspeaker is then hard-coupled to this base. For this, we recommend our Ebony LS paddock feet.
The scene likes to talk about “deriving” resonances. This is not possible and is pure nonsense even in physical logic. Resonances follow the lowest resistance, i.e. the lowest mass. The room in which the loudspeaker is always the largest. If you now connect the loudspeaker housing to the floor (room), the loudspeaker is “informed” by the resonant frequency of the room. All connected materials enter into a form of communication, which is why every loudspeaker always sounds a bit different on different floors.
Only with the Subbase écho LS does the loudspeaker always sound as it was developed, regardless of the condition of the floor on which it is standing.
Design
Each Subbase écho LS base is manufactured on behalf of the customer. We produce the desired size and design (look) for you that fits your system. If you would like advice, we would be happy to help you.
You can choose between:
- frame design at a 90° or 45° angle
- Semi-matt or high-gloss finish in RAL color, high-gloss acrylic in black and white, real wood veneer, leather (at 45° frame).
Workmanship
We work for eternity. All materials used are selected in such a way that they perform their function perfectly and also last forever, with proper treatment and care. Without exception, we manufacture in Germany with our long-standing partner master craftsmen.

Both principles in themselves are subject to problems that lead to a dead end. During coupling, the resonance frequencies of the loudspeaker housing are coupled to the floor. This then has different effects depending on the floor (wood, stone, laminate, etc.). The decoupling separates the loudspeaker from the ground, but leaves it to its own disharmonious resonances, which also has a tonal effect.
No, absolutely not. This is one of the oldest falsehoods in hi-fi history. The larger mass informs the lower mass. For example, a loudspeaker cabinet can never release its relatively fine vibrational energy into the floor of the room, whose mass is many times greater. In the case of coupling, however, the frequency of the ground is transmitted to the loudspeaker. A coupling is always a feedback, never a diode. In this way, there is always mutual influence.
The combination of both principles is ideal. The material-related decoupling from the ground is combined with the possibility of coupling the loudspeaker to a frequency-neutral floor space in order to use its harmonizing influence. That is Subbase écho technology.
As far as the optimal floor space is concerned, at its defined frequency, not. An audio component is subject to further influences, which is why we developed the Composant S.
