Element Series

Perfection of art and technology. The new Totem Element Series expresses perfect balance between form, function, art and technology. Streamlined for any musical genre, it conveys conviction, honesty and ease while offering enormous scale and presence. Revolutionary in its conception, the Element Series is a true evolutionary step in sound design.

With Totem's huge success in providing world leading On-Wall performance with the Totem Torrent™ woofer-based Tribe III and Tribe V, our next logical step was to design In-Room assimilation of this innovative “no crossover” technology.

The Element Series presents powerful elemental combinations. In nature, five vital elements interact cyclically: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Just as they form intriguing inter-relationships with one another, this new Totem Element Series sets the pace.

High-Fidelity Compact

Our compact designs are all small driver, dynamic 2-way; the only plausible design scheme for the coherence and musicality we seek. This results in full-range, dynamic, distortion- free, accurate, focalized music and bass. Optimized in the Model-1 Signature, in a unique 2 -way, 2-driver unit and maximized in the Mani-2 Signature, a unique 2-way, 3-driver unit, the musical energy from Totem’s external driver is as distortion free as possible. Accurate engineering, special double box configuration and truly superior-quality material and damping procedures have made this possible.

High-Fidelity Columns

Sleek and pure design: Wonderful, sleek and pure design characterize every Totem Column speaker. The Wind is the exception that confirms the rule. Totem’s columnar speakers reflect our commitment to both long-term value and continuity. Their great frequency extension and exemplary harmonics blend in a phase-perfect conjunction that seems to transmit the “true” essence of any musical presentation.

Tribe Series

Astonishing full-range, on-wall and in-wall performance becomes reality with our world-class Tribe Series speakers. Created with Totem’s most advanced parts and technology, they set the standard for on-wall and in-wall cinema/surround speaker systems. As with all Totem products, the Tribes are not only sonically superb but also technologically cutting edge: The neodymium-activated, long-throw woofers were designed for speed, clarity and astounding bass extension. The superb, long-throw, soft dome tweeter seamlessly interacts with these woofers to fashion not only a wall of sound, but also a façade of subtle, rich harmonics woven into wonderful sonic holography.

Totem Acoustics’ commitment to quality and advanced development resulted in the expansion of the Tribe Series by creating the Tribe In-Wall/In-Ceiling speakers that reflect the pre- eminent world-class standards of the Tribe On-Wall Series.

Design Series

The Design Series distinguishes itself with a unique and luxurious multi-coat finish, its artistry, rakish stance and extravagance of colors. Dusk, Ice, Sky and Fire. Glossy, ravishing beauty that will enhance any interior design. The columns models of the Design Series are marked by the Totem logo chiseled onto the elongated front claws.

In-Wall/In-Ceiling Series

Invisible custom installation: In-wall/in-ceiling speakers are the perfect choice for you, if you prefer an invisible audio system with a custom installation. Totem’s In-Wall series, with Totem’s unique holographic voicing and proprietary crossover design, are of incredible superior quality in this category of speakers and will seduce you with their clarity and perfect sound reproduction.

For you, we created full-fledge invisible sound surroundings with the Masks and Tribe In- Wall/In-Ceiling speakers, enhanced with the magical Inner Spirit and brought to perfection with the Tribe Center In-Wall and the Tribe Sub In-Wall.

High-Fidelity Sub-Woofers

Full-range power. Beautifully proportioned and elegant, Totem sub-woofers will appropriately enhance any Totem system. Designed for cinema/surround applications, they integrate perfectly and seamlessly with all Totem products for any task where bass augmentation is required.

Totem Arro Speakers

I've got a taste for products with musical soul. A speaker's impedance curve may be flat and easy and the frequency response ruler-straight but it all don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Or, as our editor is fond of saying - it's got to have the luv. If you're a moonie, I think you know just what we mean and I guess that's why most of the HiFi I find myself making eyes at has some kind of exotic pedigree. I just love those products which are really hard to obtain or of which they only make 20 a year. Take Joe Fratus' Art Audio amps, for instance - relatively hard to come by but beautiful. If you have any questions, you ring Art Audio and the man himself answers the phone - in other words, my kind of product. Just try getting either Bowers or Wilkins on the line if you've got a question about your new B&Ws ...

Totem Rainmaker Speakers

I have concluded that I am blessed.
Lounging around the house on a recent weekend, sipping wine and listening to music, the total experience of grape-infused musical involvement got me a bit teary-eyed, and I counted up my blessings. I have a perfect wife, two fantastic kids, and a job I enjoy that pays me more money than I need. (And no, I'm not stupid; my boss doesn't read Stereophile.) I have my health, and have enough musical talent that I can create my own music (though I wish I had more time to do so).

Totem Model 1 Speakers

The word totem is powerful in its own right. Totems have conscious and unconscious meanings, depicting powerful supernatural forces in nature and within us. Native Americans of the Northwest Coast tribes, starting with the Chippewa, or Ojibwa, used the term for the animals or birds associated with their clans. Tall wooden columns were carved with the clan totem, which could be a bird, fish, animal, or plant. Later, the Kwakiutls of the Pacific Northwest held feasts called Potlatches, during which poles carved with family and clan emblems were erected. Totems were also involved in worship and rites of passage.

Totem Mani-2 Speakers

On the face of it, the Totem Mani-2 represents poor value for money—nearly $4000 for a pair of conventional-looking minimonitors, not including stands. Yet its combination of clean treble, transparent midrange, natural dynamics, and powerful extended bass allowed the speakers to step to one side, allowing the music to communicate in a most effective manner. It is one of the few speakers I could happily live with. If you have a smallish room, and you value bass extension and are prepared to pay for it, the Mani-2 can be enthusiastically recommended.
