Country of Origin: Canada
The word, comeback, would be a wrong choice of word for Totem Acoustic Signature One Bookshelf Speaker, which is now available on Ooberpad. The Signature One, precision-designed for Totem's 30th anniversary, is not a “comeback” of the famous Model 1 that launched Totem. It is an elevated, advanced monitor loudspeaker reflecting the progression of Totem's engineering prowess and is primed to knock you out. The spirit of the Model 1 lives deep within it but the Signature One is quite unique and its superior performance defies comparison. An imposing 6.5-inch mineral-infused woofer derived from the Forest driver is mated to a 1” aluminum dome tweeter housed in a rear chamber. Advance-designed simultaneously to achieve the best phase relationship, their synergy is enhanced by a handmade crossover consisting of only a few precious components. Signature One is a homage to our history, an anniversary celebration, and a retro yet evergreen design that will outpace competition throughout its multi-decade lifespan.

Benefits of Totem Acoustic Signature One Bookshelf Speaker:
Customized Drivers - Bespoke Acoustic Engineering
Every single driver is completely unique to Totem and proprietary in design, engineered by Totem and then manufactured to the strictest standards to meet their parameters by the finest raw driver suppliers in the world. In some cases, where the technology is above and beyond the capabilities of suppliers or is wished to be kept as a well-guarded secret, Totem can and will build their own drivers. Every driver displays phase linearity, speed, emotion, off-axis natural presentation, and spatial articulation.
Handmade Crossovers with Point-to-Point Connections
Totem crossovers don’t require many parts because of the synergy between the customized drivers, but the components are truly best-in-class. Totem crossovers aren’t built on PCB’s because the laminated conductive tracks are weak and inconsistent. Rather, they are secured to a thin piece of fiberboard or insulated polymers and components are mechanically crimped together because it simply sounds better. When the soldering need arises, Totem selects WBT Silver Solder, the purest in the industry.
Artisanal Cabinet Construction
Meticulously handcrafted for peak performance that will shine for decades. Lock-Miter assembly is an intricate woodworking procedure where edges physically interlock together. As an outcome, the cabinet is up to 5 times stronger than conventional V Groove cabinets. Internal and external veneering withstand warping, structurally fortifies and ensures consistent peak performance. Industry unique Borosilicate damping manages dissipation, keeps the cabinet musically alive, and never deteriorates. Popular materials like poly fillers eventually decay, dramatically affecting the performance. Variable Density Fiberboard is denser at the extremities than the interior to attenuate repetitive nodes and resonances.
Connectors - WBT Bi-Wire / Bi-Amp
Premium WBT connectors are the most preferred choice by all audiophiles. WBT connectors let the signal through while eliminating any kind of interfering or affecting it. Superior connectors like WBT connectors will circumvent any signal loss and get the optimal performance out of the entire system.
