Capital Audiofest 2026 · Suite 651
Look closely.
Listen closely.
The Credo EV 1202 Ref. Quiet in appearance, precise in every detail of its build, and in the music: full and even from top to bottom, clear when it gets loud, and never tiring. Handmade in Switzerland.

Why it sounds this way
Natural sound, measured.
Balanced at your seat
Measured to AES/CTA-2034-A from 70 positions. The predicted in-room response follows the preferred target almost perfectly, without DSP.
Clear voices, no glare
No presence peak between 2 and 4 kHz. Voices stay clear and intelligible, yet nothing pushes forward. You can listen for hours.
Precise in time
Tweeter and midwoofers arrive together, and high frequencies decay in under a millisecond. The start of a note is sharp, its end is clean.
- Passive two-way: 2 × 5.5-inch sliced-paper midwoofers, 1-inch coated textile tweeter, custom-made in Denmark
- Bass to 42 Hz (−3 dB), no subwoofer needed in most living rooms
- Isolation Base included, machined in-house from aluminium
- Finishes: Piano Black, Oak Rough-Cut, Swiss Pear High-Gloss
In Suite 651
Come in, sit down, listen.
The EV 1202 Ref. in Rough-Cut plays with the new Electrocompaniet EC 5 preamplifier and AW 800 M amplifier, wired with Kimber Kable. Someone from Credo, Electrocompaniet, Antal Audio and Kimber is in the room all weekend, together with AudioShield. Bring your questions, and your own music.
