Totem Bison center

The Bison Center offers exceptional articulation, rhythm and dynamics that give multi-channel audio systems realistic sound reproduction. Its practical dimensions allow it to be integrated into practically any audiovisual furniture. It can also be comfortably perched on a console or table in rooms where the television is mounted on the wall. The Bison Center is designed to reproduce a sound image of great magnitude, which ensures the balance between micronuances, realism of voices and an imposing presence. And because it shares the same DNA as the other Bison Series speakers, it also delivers an immersive music experience and incredible extension.

Founded in 1987, Totem Acoustic has a rich history in producing handcrafted loudspeakers in Montreal, Quebec. Today, after more than 35 years of activity, Totem Acoustic remains faithful to its initial principles: to offer a remarkably captivating listening experience and to evoke a deep emotional experience. Each Totem Acoustic speaker is designed to deliver what the artist intended, whether listening to music, watching a movie or playing video games. We make our speakers driven by our passion for true music connoisseurs in over 40 countries around the world.

Handmade crossovers

Totem crossovers don't require many parts due to the synergy between our custom drivers, but the components are the best in the world. Our crossovers are not built on PCBs because the laminated conductor traces are weak and inconsistent. Instead, they are attached to a thin piece of fiberboard or insulated polymers and the components are mechanically crimped together because it simply sounds better. When we need to solder, we choose WBT silver solder, the purest in the industry.

Custom Drivers

Each driver is completely unique to Totem and proprietary in design, designed by Totem then manufactured to the highest standards to meet our parameters by the best raw driver suppliers in the world. In some cases, when the technology is beyond the capabilities of the vendors or there is a desire to keep it secret, Totem can and will build its own drivers. Each driver features phase linearity, speed, emotion, natural off-axis presentation, and spatial articulation.
