The History of Børresen Loudspeakers
Børresen Acoustics is a high-end loudspeaker manufacturer based in Denmark, known for its engineering-driven approach to speaker design. The company was founded by Michael Børresen, whose background in electrical engineering and deep involvement in audio system design led to the development of the brand’s distinctive loudspeakers. The company operates under the umbrella of Audio Group Denmark, which also includes Ansuz Acoustics and Aavik Acoustics.
Before starting Børresen Acoustics, Michael Børresen was a co-founder and chief designer at Raidho Acoustics, another Danish loudspeaker manufacturer. His work at Raidho attracted attention for its use of ribbon tweeters, advanced materials, and proprietary driver technology. After leaving Raidho, Børresen partnered with Lars Kristensen to create a new company that would allow for greater control over product development, integration of proprietary technologies, and a cohesive design philosophy across loudspeakers, electronics, and cables.
Børresen Acoustics was officially launched in the late 2010s with the goal of pushing technical boundaries in loudspeaker design. The team began with a clean-slate approach, developing their own drivers, crossovers, and cabinets. The company’s ribbon tweeter design and custom-made midrange and bass drivers were designed in-house to reduce distortion and improve speed, resolution, and dynamic capability. The use of advanced materials, such as carbon fiber, titanium, and cryogenically treated components, is central to the company’s design philosophy.
Børresen loudspeakers are produced in Denmark, where the team maintains full control over manufacturing and quality assurance. The speakers are known for their low-mass motor systems and distinctive driver architecture, which includes iron-free motors that aim to reduce inductance and magnetic hysteresis. This approach is designed to improve transient response and reduce coloration in the midrange and bass.
The product line has expanded over time and includes several series that cater to different levels of performance and price. Each line features similar core design principles, but with varying levels of material sophistication and component complexity. All models maintain the company’s core engineering priorities, including low distortion, high efficiency, and phase coherence.
The company emphasizes system synergy across its associated brands. Børresen speakers are often demonstrated with Aavik electronics and Ansuz cabling and accessories, which are designed and voiced together in the same facility. This integrated approach reflects the company’s belief that loudspeaker performance cannot be isolated from the rest of the playback chain.
While Børresen Acoustics operates in the ultra-high-end segment of the audio market, the brand has established a presence in international showrooms and audio exhibitions. Products have been presented at events such as the Munich High End Show and AXPONA in the United States, where the company regularly showcases complete systems. The focus remains on two-channel audio reproduction, with an emphasis on acoustic performance in both treated and untreated listening spaces.
Børresen continues to innovate in areas such as resonance control, internal damping, and materials science, often borrowing from research in industrial design and applied physics. The company maintains a small but specialized engineering and production team that works across all Audio Group Denmark brands.
