Totem Signature One
Don't call it a comeback. The Signature One, designed for our 30th anniversary, is not a “return” of the famous Model 1 that launched Totem. This is an advanced, elevated monitor speaker that reflects the progression of our engineering prowess and is ready to knock you out.Signature One is a tribute to our history, an anniversary celebration and a design to both retro and timeless that will outperform its competitors throughout its decades-long lifespan.
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.
At Totem Acoustic, meticulous attention to every detail is the principle that guides us. We believe that a Speaker should translate the vitality and breadth of sound, with all the qualities that give music the power to move. Since day one, our goal has been to deliver excellence and expressive sound, with every model and with a superior quality standard. We definitely don't want to be the biggest - we just want to be the Best.
Features
Building DIY Cabinets
Meticulously handcrafted for optimal performance that lasts for decades. Lock-Miter assembly is a complex woodworking procedure where edges physically fit together. The resulting speaker is up to 5 times stronger than traditional V Groove speakers. Internal and external plating resists warping, structurally reinforces and ensures consistent optimal performance. Industry-unique borosilicate damping manages dissipation, keeps the speaker musically alive and never deteriorates. Popular materials like poly fillers eventually break down, significantly affecting performance. Variable density fiberboard is denser on the ends than on the inside to reduce repetitive knots and resonances.
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.
