BEC Akustik IC Series: A Unique Approach to High-Quality Sound

BEC Akustik IC Series: A Unique Approach to High-Quality Sound

The BEC Akustik IC series, ranging from the IC-50 to the IC-120, is a distinct line of slim-profile speakers designed for precise and immersive sound reproduction. Unlike conventional speakers, these models utilize flat membrane drivers, which vibrate uniformly across their entire surface. This design results in an exceptionally controlled dispersion pattern—wide horizontally and focused vertically—allowing for excellent sound clarity and reduced reflections from floors and ceilings.

How They Work

The IC series employs a unique transducer technology where the entire membrane acts as a sound emitter, similar to magnetostatic drivers. This approach ensures an even distribution of sound waves, making them particularly well-suited for spaces that demand clear and natural audio without intrusive speaker enclosures.

However, due to their design, these speakers do not reproduce deep bass frequencies effectively. They are optimized for midrange and high frequencies, delivering crystal-clear vocal and instrumental reproduction but lacking low-end punch. To compensate, they should be paired with a dedicated subwoofer for full-range sound performance.

Key Specifications

  • Impedance: 4 to 8 Ohms (model-dependent)

  • Frequency Response: 120 Hz – 20,000 Hz (model-dependent)

  • Horizontal Dispersion Angle: 160°

  • Vertical Dispersion Angle: 40°

  • Sensitivity: 86–88 dB/W/m (model-dependent)

  • Material: High-quality aluminum construction

  • Mounting Options: Standard metal screw-on bracket, optional in-wall housing

  • Color Options: Black, white, silver, gold (custom finishes available)

The Perfect Subwoofer Pairing

To achieve the best listening experience, the BEC Akustik IC series should be used alongside a high-quality subwoofer. This ensures a seamless blend between the detailed mids and highs of the IC speakers and the deep bass necessary for a balanced audio presentation.

An ideal match for this setup is the Lyngdorf amplifier range, particularly the TDAI-1120 and TDAI-3400. These amplifiers feature advanced digital signal processing and bass management, allowing for precise integration of a subwoofer with the IC speakers. Lyngdorf’s RoomPerfect™ technology ensures that the subwoofer and IC speakers work harmoniously within any room, optimizing sound dispersion and reducing unwanted resonances.

Why Choose the IC Series?

  • Superior Clarity – The flat membrane design offers a clean, detailed sound with minimal distortion.

  • Directional Control – Focused vertical dispersion minimizes reflections, improving speech intelligibility.

  • Slim and Elegant Design – Their discreet form factor allows for easy integration into modern interiors.

  • Perfect for Lyngdorf Amplifiers – The TDAI-1120 and TDAI-3400 offer unmatched bass management for seamless subwoofer integration.

Conclusion

The BEC Akustik IC speakers are an excellent choice for those seeking a refined and articulate sound system, but they are best enjoyed when paired with a subwoofer. The combination of these speakers with a Lyngdorf amplifier creates a perfectly balanced audio experience, delivering clarity and depth in equal measure. Whether for home theaters, music rooms, or minimalist living spaces, this setup ensures premium sound quality with an unobtrusive design.
