Kansas City Business Journal, July 25, 2003 Exclusive Reports
"It has taken John Larsen eight years to transform a rough drawing of a spherical audio speaker into a patented commercial product. That breakthrough came earlier this month, when the first container of 100 pairs of 360-degree Mobius Loudspeakers arrived from Larsen's manufacturing partner. The Blue Springs carpenter, who quit his job in January to run Artistic Audio Inc. full time, finally was in business. "It's exciting in that you can't believe you actually did it," Larsen said. "But it's scary at the same time because you've got a warehouse full of the product -- your product." CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE

The Absolute Sound, July 2003 Future TAS section
"Out Of This World. Artistic Audio calls its striking Mobius loudspeakers the "perfect pulsating sphere." These shiny little globes produce 360-degree sound via twin 8"-dome mid/bass drivers and concentric tweeters mounted in a back-to-back configuration. The speaker sphere rests on a hollow tuning fork-shaped stand that minimized diffraction artifacts and vents the sphere's output down into the base. The stand itself is angled rearward to preserve phase/time alignment between the mid/bass driver and an integrated 8" subwoofer that nestles in the bottom of the stand. Currently in the works and soon to be available are Mobius bookshelf and ceiling-mount versions."

Audio Video Interiors, May 2003 Components section, pg 16
"Artistic Audio Mobius Speaker. Looking more like modern sculpture, the Mobius speaker from Artistic Audio nevertheless delivers high-quality sound in all directions. Two 8-inch midbass drivers are mounted back-to-back in a bipolar array, with a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter in front of the array. An integrated 8-inch subwoofer utilizes a triangular enclosure to prevent standing waves. The end result is a frequency response from 45 Hz to 20 kHz (+-3 dB) with a power-handling capacity of 250 WRMS."

Robb Report, May/Apr 2003 Home Entertainment & Design, pg 24
"Outside the Box. Who says speakers have to sit in a box? Certainly not the designers at Artistic Audio, whose Möbius model is a ball perched atop a shiny, fork-shaped tuning stand that houses the subwoofer in a triangular enclosure to prevent standing waves. The resulting assemblage has the clean lines of a rigorous sci-fi sculpture, far removed from the world of audio gear. The ball is actually two eight-inch hemispherical drivers joined back-to-back to form a sphere that radiates sound equally in all directions. A silk-dome tweeter is placed in front of each of these drivers, and the subwoofer is side mounted to lend the whole a narrower footprint. The presentation, indeed, departs from all that is routine, and is certainly addictive."

Residential Systems, February 2003, Product Guide, pg 58
"What's noteworthy: The Mobius' 'perfect pulsating sphere' design produces a 360-degree sound, and its twin eight-inch dome mid-bass drivers are mounted back to back. The floor-standing models include sideward-mounted eight-inch subwoofers."

"Artistic Audio’s first loudspeaker design, Gemini, earned Design & Engineering Showcase Honors at the 1998 Consumer Electronics Show. Five years later, Artistic Audio has returned with Mobius, the latest evolution of a 360 degree loudspeaker design philosophy that has earned two U.S. patents."

"Artistic Audio to Debut 360-Degree Loudspeaker at CES Las Vegas, NV (January 8, 2003)-- Eight-inch dome mid-bass drivers, mounted in bipolar arrays (back-to-back), are the heart of each Artistic Audio speaker. Using a larger diaphragm mid-bass allows all critical vocal frequency ranges to be produced by the same driver, eliminating the image smearing that takes place in other 3-way speakers."
