Carsten Beck x Raidho Acoustics: When Sound and Visual Art Merge into a Unique Art Object
Danish visual artist Carsten Beck has entered into an exclusive collaboration with internationally renowned loudspeaker manufacturer Raidho Acoustics. The result is an extraordinary fusion of graphic, minimalist lines and uncompromising, world-class sound — a limited series of hand-painted Raidho XT 2.6 loudspeakers where art, technology, and audio experience merge into a unified, sculptural object.
The collaboration was born from a shared fascination with form, materiality, and spatial experience. From the very first meetings, it became clear that both Carsten Beck and Raidho Acoustics shared an ambition to create something that transcends traditional boundaries between function and aesthetics. Both parties work with precision and an uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship within their respective fields — Beck through his distinctive, graphic visual language and Raidho through their world-class audio engineering — and it was precisely this meeting point that laid the foundation for the project.
The process has been shaped by close dialogue and deep mutual respect for craftsmanship. Over several months, Beck has worked in his studio with the raw speaker cabinets from Raidho, experimenting with line work, composition, and color selection — all carefully adapted to respect the speaker’s design while enhancing its visual identity. Each piece has been meticulously hand-painted directly onto the cabinet without templates or digital pre-processing.
"I’ve drawn inspiration from the speakers’ lines, angles, and the way sound moves through a space. It’s been a unique experience to work directly with an object that is both a sound source and an artistic canvas. The process has been intuitive, but also guided by a great respect for the technical masterpiece that the speaker represents," says Carsten Beck.
For Raidho Acoustics, the project provided an opportunity to merge their technological expertise with a bold artistic expression. Their loudspeakers — already known for their refined finish and exceptional sound performance — have now been elevated into a new context, where the visual expression becomes an integral part of the experience.
"We have always focused on delivering uncompromising, high-end sound, but with Carsten’s graphic artwork, the speaker also becomes a visual centerpiece within the space. It’s a meeting between sound and art in a format we haven’t seen before," says [Name], [Title], Raidho Acoustics.
The result is an exclusive limited edition series, where each speaker set stands as a unique art object. A rare opportunity for discerning, design-conscious audiences seeking an experience that goes beyond the conventional — where sound becomes art, and art becomes sound.
