Interestingly, Fincham never saw the in-wall aspect of the system as a performance-limiting factor. Well, apart from the amplifier part of the equation, let me tell you that the BGX-4850 subwoofer system ($6995) is nothing like that.įlying in the face of tradition, Fincham and the BG Radia team have developed a multi-component woofer system comprised of four extremely compact yet very high output in-wall woofer modules that are-get this- inherently vibration canceling, plus an outboard controller/amp module to power them. If I say “state-of-the-art subwoofer,” what thoughts first come to your mind? My bet is that you are picturing a big, honkin’ precision-made woofer (or two) loaded into a beefy, bank-vault-like enclosure and that is powered by a take-no-prisoners amplifier with enough output to propel a hybrid car. I was eager to learn what Fincham and BG Radia would do when given the freedom to create a world-class sub, so I signed up for the briefing and was soon introduced to a radical new woofer system design that breaks all the established rules, and for all the right reasons. Core technologies for the system, I was told, were being developed by THX chief scientist Laurie Fincham (perhaps best known for his achievements as the former Technical Director for the British speaker-maker KEF), while the resulting subwoofer system would be manufactured by BG Radia, of Carson City, NV. The company utilizes its patented planar ribbon technology to produce the finest quality loudspeakers for a wide array of residential and professional applications.įounded in June 1994, BG Radia is based in Carson City, Nevada and markets its award-winning products throughout the world under the BG, Radia and Radia Pro brand names as well as on an OEM basis.About two years ago, I got a call from THX’s PR representatives asking if I’d like to take part in a briefing on the world’s first THX Ultra2-certified in-wall subwoofer system. Either way, we remain totally dedicated to offering the world’s finest ribbon-based loudspeaker solutions.”īG Radia Corporation is an innovative designer and manufacturer of high performance loudspeakers for the audio, home theater, custom and commercial installation markets. Kocmond went on to add, “Though our corporate name is now BG Radia Corp., the marketplace is welcome to use BG Radia or continue to simply call us BG. Though many will still refer to us as BG, and that would be perfectly fine, we felt that formally adding our premium line of Radia to the brand name would help tie it all together.” Mr. A complete transition from BG to BG Radia covering all the company’s printed materials and electronic media is anticipated to take several months.Ĭommenting on the name change, CEO Warren Kocmond stated, “In our fourteen year history, our company has gone by many names from Bohlender-Graebener to Radia to simply BG. The familiar, warm purple will remain as the brand’s official color. The new BG Radia name will offer consumers and trade alike a clearer way to identify, remember and pronounce the company’s brand name.īG Radia’s new logo will retain the straightforward, clean look with the letters B and G, separated by an attractive spire and will now have a lower case “radia” underneath. To simplify usage for all, the company has formally changed its brand to BG Radia though they recognize that many will still use BG for simplicity.
