TE x IKEA FREKVENS Full Review

I have to admit, the quality is not perfect, like the jacks in and out on the speakers are quite stiff to plug in. But that’s what I expect for the price and from IKEA. When you said that you tried to connect the big speaker to the small one, do you mean to connect the woofer with speaker to another speaker ? If you mean to chain multiple speakers together it won’t work, but I managed to setup a stereo system by splitting the left and right incoming audio channel with a splitter (wired only).

Yes , I meant to chain multiple speakers together… after seeing photos of 2 speakers and woofer combos with lights joined together into speaker / light wall thing , I assumed that I could just daisy chain speakers together. As I said I am extremely happy with purchase. I love modularity and didn’t expect how much more enjoyable music experience sound reactive lights can bring!

I got two spotlights and 3 led matrix cubes , left them on all day , tested different settings and can confirm that they are

Looks like there will be some kind of surprise. What do you think?

maybe OP-Z related :100::100::100:

Maybe some kind of connection between both.

FREKVENS is available now in Germany, but only online (the TE products).
The products are little bit hard to find on the website … so here are all the links:

Thanks- you can’t search for them yet!! Been checking all week. Much appreciated. :+1:t2:

Does anyone from Australia know if it’s coming here? Checked the Richmond store in Melbourne but they have no idea what it is

Someone on another forum asked IKEA with an email and they said that sadly the collection won’t come to Australia, it looks like it’s mainly for Europe and North America.

Just ordered 2 leds 2spots and both light kits online in U.K. delivery is only two days and was surprisingly cheap.

I wonder if the tease is coloured led activation because of the colours in the pic ?

If not maybe dmx support ?

Might there be anyway to get the speaker faceplates separately? Wish the speaker with the subwoofer came with those. Seemed silly that it didn’t.

I also would have loved to see the coloured speaker faceplates sold separately.

For the hell of it, I only bought the tiny little speaker to use with my OPZ and actually find it much better than I expected after reading the review at the top of this thread.

After getting negative answers from IKEA Norway customer service about release, I reached out the the marketing department in Norway. And FREKVENS is being released late march. So if your country is currently out of the loop, it could get a later release. Happy day!

I don’t know. Maybe the surprise didn’t worked out in the end? So they canceled it?
