Audience, the well-known manufacturer of high-end audio components and premium cables, will debut its new ClairAudient Bellare loudspeaker at two major fall 2025 events — T.H.E. International Audio Show New York, held just across from MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and Capital Audiofest in Rockville, Maryland. The company plans to showcase the Bellare as its next flagship model, underscoring Audience’s commitment to precision engineering and audiophile-grade performance.
Audience ClairAudient Bellare Loudspeaker
The Audience ClairAudient Bellare takes the company’s signature full-range driver approach to the next level, combining proprietary design with serious engineering intent. At its core, the Bellare uses multiple identical 3-inch wideband, high-resolution drivers to handle everything from 120 Hz through the midrange and treble.
That means no crossover, no dissimilar drivers trying to blend different frequency bands — just pure, coherent sound from top to bottom. The result, according to Audience, is exceptional tonal purity, imaging precision, and wide dispersion, without the phase anomalies or discontinuities that plague traditional multi-driver designs.
Below 120 Hz, the Bellare hands off to an integrated 300-watt active bass module featuring both a mid-woofer and a woofer, controlled via DSP. The system includes remote volume adjustment and automatic room correction, letting users fine-tune low-end performance to their space.
The built-in bass system also means you can pair the Bellare with lower-powered amplifiers — including Class A or single-ended tube designs — since those amps only need to handle midrange and treble duties.
With its seamless driver integration, smart active bass design, and wide-open soundstage, the Bellare aims for natural musical flow, dynamic punch, and tonal truth. It’s one of the most ambitious and refined loudspeakers Audience has ever produced — and arguably, one that could hold its own against anything in its class.
Key Features of the Audience ClairAudient Bellare Loudspeaker
- Full-Range Drivers: Identical 3-inch drivers handle frequencies above 120 Hz for consistent point-source performance.
- Crossover-Less Design (Above 120 Hz): Eliminates crossover components in the midrange and treble to maintain phase accuracy and tonal consistency.
- Powered Bass Module: Integrated 300-watt active bass system drives a woofer and mid-woofer, with DSP-based volume control and automatic room correction.
- Frequency Response (Full Range + Bass): -3 dB at 28 Hz to 22 kHz.
- SPL: 105 dB continuous output without driver compression.
- Sensitivity: 88 dB; compatible with amplifiers from about 20 watts and up.
- Nominal Impedance: 9.5 ohms, with a minimum of 8.5 ohms.
- Phase Response: Smooth phase behavior, approximately -45° to +25°, remaining near zero through most of the midrange.
Where to Experience the Audience ClairAudient Bellare Loudspeaker
The Bellare — derived from the Italian and Latin word for “beautiful” — will make its public debut at two major fall 2025 audio events. Audience will showcase the speaker at T.H.E. Show New York 2025, taking place at the Hilton Hasbrouck Heights/Meadowlands in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, from October 24-26, 2025, and again at Capital Audiofest 2025 at the Hilton Hotel Rockville in Rockville, Maryland, from November 14-16, 2025.
At both shows, the Bellare will be demonstrated as part of a complete high-end system featuring an all-new Audience equipment rack, along with Audience cables and power conditioners, highlighting the company’s full-system approach to performance.

The Bottom Line
Audience is taking a distinctive and technically focused approach with the ClairAudient Bellare, combining a crossover-less full-range driver array with a built-in powered bass module for a coherent, wideband presentation. Priced in the upper high-end range, a complete Bellare-based system — including amplification, sources, and Audience cables — will likely represent a $60,000 to $75,000 investment. For those attending T.H.E. Show New York 2025 or Capital Audiofest 2025, the Bellare is one system that deserves a serious listen.
Price & Availability
The Audience Bellare loudspeaker is expected to be available from authorized dealers beginning in March 2026 at a suggested US retail price of $36,000 per pair.
