Notice! The O/Baby, despite its name, is extremely mature. The imaging is giga, the low end will confuse you. The middle is real, particularly seductive. For what it’s worth, we think this is particularly good.

Details
This is your chance to finally get demo material from the coolest shop on earth. Yeah! Actually worth a lot more than the new price for this but we’ll restrain ourselves. Only used for listening sessions with our visitors, no private owner.

General description

The DeVore Fidelity O/Baby is a compact speaker that embodies the essence of the larger O/96. Measuring 37.5 cm wide and 58.5 cm high without a stand, it fits effortlessly into a variety of spaces. The design includes a 19 mm textile dome tweeter, placed in a subtle horn embedded in the front panel, and a 178 mm woofer of uncoated German paper, similar to those in the O/96 and O/Reference.

The O/Baby delivers an open and spacious sound with surprisingly deep bass for its size. The tuning of the components ensures a natural and immersive listening experience. The speaker is designed to integrate easily into various setups and is suitable for a wide range of music genres.

A solid oak stand is optionally available, which not only complements the aesthetics but also contributes to the speaker’s optimal placement and performance.

DeVore Fidelity O/Baby Specifications
Frequency range: 38 Hz–25 kHz Sensitivity: 90 dB/W/m Nominal impedance: 8 ohms Dimensions: 35″ (889 mm) H × 14.75″ (375 mm) W × 9.75″ (248 mm) D (including stands) Weight: 40 lb (18 kg) Tweeter: Horn-loaded 0.75″ (19 mm) Vifa textile dome Woofer: 7″ (178 mm) SEAS paper cone
Background information
DeVore Fidelity’s O/Baby was designed by John DeVore as a compact version of the O/96 loudspeaker. It is a two-way design with a 7″ paper woofer and silk dome tweeter, both adapted for this enclosure. The cabinet is birch plywood with walnut veneer, built entirely by hand in Brooklyn. The internal wiring is high quality and carefully tuned for maximum coherence. The philosophy revolves around natural sound and efficiency with a design that is easily driven by tube amplifiers.
Brand history
DeVore Fidelity was founded in 2000 by John DeVore in Brooklyn, New York. The brand develops and manufactures loudspeakers specifically designed to work in conjunction with tube amplifiers. The designs are largely handcrafted in a workshop in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In the process, DeVore Fidelity uses materials such as veneers that are laid and finished in-house. The brand’s speakers use in-house drivers or custom drivers produced exclusively for DeVore. Each model undergoes extensive listening tests and tuning in a permanent, specially equipped listening room. All models are designed, built, tested and packaged at the same location. DeVore Fidelity takes a product approach where each model is developed individually, rather than a fixed system of product series or generations.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this.
