The design of the Gradient 1.4 is truly unique – its form is dictated by acoustics and function. The speaker consists of a spherical upper section, an ideal shape for a cabinet, and a separate bass unit. The upper section can be tilted to minimise room-induced colouration, ensuring optimal performance in any space. The combination of this ideal form and carefully engineered construction results in exceptional stiffness and rigidity, effectively eliminating cabinet vibrations.

Gradient 1.4 embodies pure functionalism – every aspect of its design serves a purpose. Nothing is superfluous, nothing is missing. Sculpted to perfection.

To minimize reflections from the speaker cabinet, the coaxial element is mounted in a spherical enclosure. The sphere is an ideal form with no structural interfaces and discontinuities.

Still, Gradient is not Gradient without something completely new and unique. From the very beginning, it was clear that the Gradient 1 .4 will utilize our acoustic resistance enclosure - technology, like used in many previous Gradient models. Now this is made as perfect as possible: The symmetric spherical housing leaks “anti-sound” from the opening behind the sphere, cancelling backward radiation and early reflections from the surfaces behind the loudspeaker.

Gradient 1 .4 follows functionalism. Every aspect in the form has a meaning. Acoustic design and function determine the shape. There is nothing more to add – there is nothing left to take away.

The cabinet of the speaker is made of advanced techno polymer in Finland. Together with the ideal form of the speaker, exceptional combination of stiffness and rigidness is obtained to eliminate cabinet vibrations.

The finishing of the speaker cabinet, available in graphite black and white, is durable providing an easy to clean and long-lasting surface. For years to come.

Gradient loudspeakers are manufactured from high quality materials and components. The performance of the drivers used have been tested before the assembly. After the assembly, a precision measuring system ensures that all speakers are of a similar high standard. The inspection marking and the serial number are located on the back of the speaker.

In line with Gradient's unwavering commitment to quality, the 1.4 is meticulously crafted by hand in Finland. This dedication to craftsmanship not only ensures exceptional quality but also guarantees the longevity of your investment. Gradient has been granted the right to use the Key Flag symbol as a sign of Finnish work.
