ALR Jordan, a German audio company, was established in 1989. From day one, they have focused on the manufacturing and design of loudspeakers, investing most of their resources in fundamental acoustic research to create a competitive technical threshold for ALR Jordan in the market alongside other well-known products. They not only design and produce the cabinets but also manufacture the drivers themselves. Currently, ALR Jordan’s factory is located in Wesel, in the Lower Rhine region of Germany. The factory was expanded in September 2000, emphasizing that the considerable effort and financial investment in these “foundational infrastructures” aim to convey to consumers worldwide that ALR Jordan is genuinely Made in Germany. ” In addition to highlighting “German manufacturing, ” ALR Jordan also emphasizes “handcrafted production. Even though technology is advancing and more customized machines are capable of automated production, significantly increasing output, the finest audio products are often handmade. The Entry Si model is exceptionally compact, weighing only 2.7 kilograms, making it light enough to fit in the palm of your hand. This has led to special recommendations from Stereo Sound critic Hiroki Watanabe for this ALR Jordan product. The crossover point is designed at 2.8kHz, utilizing a fourth-order crossover (24dB per octave), indicating that ALR Jordan prefers precise frequency division; even for an entry-level speaker like the Entry Si, they use the most complex fourth-order crossover. The complexity of the crossover design suggests a higher material investment and emphasizes the handcrafted nature of the German manufacturing, making it feel like a great value even before hearing the sound.
