Brief History of Swans HiVi
Swans HiVi was founded in 1991 by Frank Hale, an American engineer and audiophile with roots in Canada, who had a vision to create high-quality speakers at an affordable price. The company quickly established itself as a market player by combining Western design philosophy with efficient manufacturing in China, where they built their production base in Zhuhai. Over the past 34 years, Swans HiVi has become known for delivering speakers and audio components that offer impressive performance, often competing with more expensive brands. They have specialized in developing their own speaker drivers, such as their well-known silk dome tweeters and advanced bass drivers, which has earned them a good reputation among both audiophiles and professional users.
Swans OS-10: Compact Powerhouse with Competitive Price
The OS-10 is a pair of elegant, active speakers that truly deliver despite their compact size. The OS-10 is designed for music enthusiasts who want a perfect balance of style, technology, and sound quality – all at a price that won’t break the bank.
With a built-in digital amplifier delivering 2x30W RMS per channel, you get powerful and dynamic sound that fills the room. The speakers are equipped with Swans’ own developed drivers: a 20 mm silk dome tweeter for crystal-clear highs and a 4-inch polypropylene bass/midrange driver that provides rich midrange and deep, controlled bass. The result is a soundstage that feels significantly larger than the speakers’ dimensions suggest. With a frequency range of 60 Hz–20 kHz covering most of what you need for an engaging listening experience.
The OS-10 also offers versatile connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless streaming, as well as RCA, optical, and coaxial inputs, making them compatible with everything from smartphones to TVs. Touch controls on top for power, volume, and mute, along with a supplied remote control, make them super easy to use.
Design-wise, they are minimalist and elegant in a black finish, with high-quality materials that provide both durability and a premium feel. With high sensitivity and wide sound dispersion, they also suit larger spaces, making them a versatile choice.
In summary, the Swans OS-10 is a perfect example of what Swans HiVi does best: offering advanced technology and brilliant sound in a compact, affordable package.
