Clique aqui para ler em português

Indiana Line has just announced the Utah 5, a new pair of floorstanding speakers that blends Mid-Century Modern aesthetics with modern engineering. Inspired by the brand’s first models from the 1970s, this release aims to deliver an immersive sound experience, combining power, detail, and musical versatility at a “fair price.”

Vintage Design with Contemporary Touches

The Utah 5 speakers are available in light oak and black oak, both featuring a matte black front panel. The MDF cabinet with a high-quality PVC veneer ensures durability while integrating seamlessly into different interior styles.

One of the key design elements is the slightly tapered rear edge, which provides optimal speaker alignment with the listener without the need for additional feet. For more installation flexibility, optional rear feet are included, allowing placement on shelves or low furniture.

Powerful Bass and Dual Bass Reflex System

When it comes to low-frequency performance, the Utah 5 is equipped with a 10-inch woofer (270 mm basket), designed to deliver deep, controlled bass. The polypropylene cone enhances rigidity, reduces unwanted resonances, and improves bass definition—providing a solid foundation for a wide range of musical styles.

To further enhance bass response, Indiana Line has integrated a Twin Port system, with dual bass reflex ports at the speaker’s base. This design improves low-frequency efficiency while minimizing air turbulence and distortion, ensuring a clean and powerful bass even at high volumes.

Detailed Midrange and Refined Tweeter

For the midrange frequencies, the Utah 5 features a 5-inch driver (150 mm basket) with a polypropylene diaphragm, housed in a separate damped chamber to reduce internal resonances and improve clarity. This results in natural-sounding vocals and well-separated instruments.

The 26 mm textile dome tweeter has been redesigned to provide a more open and engaging high-frequency response. Indiana Line claims that this tweeter delivers performance comparable to their higher-end models, such as the Diva 6and Tesi 6 series.

High Sensitivity and Amplifier Compatibility

With a 94 dB sensitivity and stable impedance, the Utah 5 is relatively easy to drive. The manufacturer recommends pairing it with amplifiers between 30 and 160 W. According to Indiana Line, the speaker delivers an engaging and dynamic listening experience, even at lower volumes, while maintaining clarity and musicality.

Conclusion

According to Indiana Line, the Utah 5 is a solid choice for those looking for affordable floorstanding speakers with above-average performance. The retro design, easy placement, and well-balanced sound make it a versatile option for various music genres.

The Indiana Line Utah 5 speakers are now available.
