NEW RANGE OF AXXESS PRODUCTS FROM AUDIO GROUP DENMARK
Last year Audio Group Denmark launched the Axxess Forté streaming amplifier series, the start of their new entry level brand.
Michael Børresen told us when we visited them in Aalborg, Denmark, just before the Axxess Forté launch, that the accessibly priced Audio Group Denmark brand would grow and include loudspeakers, cables and accessories, now we can reveal more.
AXXESS RANGE EXPANSION
Audio Group Denmark is expanding the Axxess range with the launch of two loudspeakers, a series of cables and finally a resonance control device to position under your loudspeakers and electronics.
Audio Group Denmark says their overarching dream and vision for Axxess is to share emotional musical moments with even more people. Based on the innovative technological development and design traditions of Ansuz, Aavik and Børresen, Axxess manufactures high-quality loudspeakers, amplifiers, audio cables, and HiFi accessories, that Audio Group Denmark’s dealers can sell at a more modest price, and by that making high end HiFi accessible to more people. Despite the modest price, the brand says that Axxess products attain the standard of musical performance and aesthetic design for which Ansuz, Aavik and Børresen is famous.
AXXESS L1 AND L3 LOUDSPEAKERS
The two new Axxess loudspeaker models are the stand mounted Axxess L1 and the floorstanding Axxess L3. They are both developed and designed by the Børresen engineering team led by Michael Børresen and accompanied by Flemming Erik Rasmussen. The speakers are developed with the same overall criteria in terms of sound and design philos ophy as Børresen loudspeakers. The components and technologies used in the L1 and L3 are carefully developed and applied to both models.
THE AXXESS RIBBON TWEETER
The membrane in the new ribbon tweeter is in Kapton – which is a very lightweight material. Compared to a dome tweeter it is 25 times lighter and due to the ribbon tweeter principle, the area is two times bigger.
THE BASS MIDRANGE
In the Axxess loudspeaker magnet motor system, the Danish HiFi brand use double copper caps on the pole rings to achieve high flux and low inductance. They have adopted the use of copper caps from the Børresen X-series. The Axxess loudspeaker membrane is designed inhouse and is developed to achieve maximum stiffness with minimum noise.
THE AXXESS CABINET
The Axxess L1 and L3 speakers’ cabinet and baffle are made of natural based composite material. This material choice is an important characteristic and is designed to eliminate sonic distortion, the finish is available in either painted satin black or white.
THE AXXESS SPEAKER STAND
The Axxess L1 speaker stand is like the cabinet also made of natural based composite material. The Axxess L1 stand incorporates both functional and visual elements inspired by both Ansuz, Aavik and Børresen

AXXESS CABLE LOOM
In their endeavour to establish a full Axxess setup, AGD are introducing a cable series, drawing upon Ansuz’s design and development heritage, and their focus on noise reduction and resonance control.
These cables offer entry into the Audio Group Denmark universe at a more accessible price point.
The housings of the Axxess cable series are crafted from a mineral-filled composite material. For the conductors and ground wires, they have used from shielded silver-plated copper. Axxess cables are available in the following cable types: Power Cable, Interconnect Cable, Speaker Cable, Digital Interconnect and Ethernet Cable.
AXXESS NOIR RESONANCE CONTROL DEVICE
The Axxess Noir resonance control devices are built on the same principles as the Ansuz Darkz devices. The Axxess Noir device is made from a special mineral-filled composite
material that Audio Group Denmark says preserves the music signal. The resonance control devices are designed to enhance the listening experience by minimizing unwanted vibrations.
