Zerø – Pure • Deep • Compact • Passive • Speakers
Purity Beyond All Others
If you desire unparalleled sound purity, impossibly clear mid-range, and jaw-dropping bass extension that is, in many aspects, unsurpassed by even the most premium of floor standing speakers, and especially if you are limited by space, Zerø’s deliver an emotional connection beyond anything you’ve experienced before.
Engineered For Smaller Listening Spaces
Zerøs are ultra-compact, passive speakers (no taller than a wine glass) designed to deliver the most beautiful sound you will ever experience in smaller listening spaces such as apartments. They are not designed to deliver high volume in larger spaces.

Zerøs – beautifully pure sound
World First
The Zerøs feature the revolutionary acousticWing®, the most significant breakthrough in loudspeaker development since the invention of the cone 100 years ago.
Acoustic lobing mitigated
Exceptionally low crossover frequency (570Hz) mitigates acoustic lobing – a significant performance weakness in most conventional two-way shelf speakers.
Heavy Metal In Miniature
Each Zerø weighs a rock solid 7.7kg, yet stands only 230mm tall.
Breathtaking purity
A completely new way to generate sound, the purity of the Zerøs will take your breath away. They deliver an emotional connection beyond anything experienced before.
Stunning deep bass
Market-leading bass extension (-6dB @ 35Hz) that belies the Zero’s compact size.
Iron-free
Both the acousticWing® driver and crossover are iron-free, eliminating nonlinearity – a cause of significant distortion in conventional loudspeakers.
Expansive sweet spot
Zerøs feature an expansive sweet spot, both horizontally and vertically – sound dispersion is incredibly even.

Expansive sweet spot
Zerøs feature an expansive sweet spot, both horizontally and vertically – sound dispersion is incredibly even.
Expansive sweet spot
The sweet spot (also known as the directivity field) is the listening area where you experience the best sound from your speakers. In conventional shelf speakers, this is often of significant disappointment for audio reviewers who recurrently warn of “very small sweet spots, requiring careful positioning”. The sweet spot for the Wing Zerøs is expansive, both horizontally and vertically, throughout the mid-treble range, preserving colour, tonality, depth and scale. The unusually low crossover frequency means that the subwoofer only operates at frequencies where it is minimally directional. The result is exceptional sound dispersion, well off axis, as listeners move around the room.
Revolutionary pure Wing
The acousticWing® featured in Wing Zerø passive shelf speakers
Unlike distortion-prone cone loudspeaker drivers, the acousticWing® has NO flexible diaphragm, NO rubbery surround, and NO unstable piston action. Uncontrollable shaking (resonance-distortion) inherent in conventional loudspeakers, that pollutes and shrouds your music, is eliminated resulting in a purity of sound beyond anything you will have experienced.
Market-leading deep bass from a shelf speaker
Owing to the incredibly low crossover frequency of 570 Hz, made possible through the extraordinarily wide bandwidth of the acousticWing® driver, the Zerø’s 75mm subwoofer and 100mm passive radiator are relieved of the responsibility of having to attempt sub-par mid-range reproduction, as is the case with conventional two-way shelf speakers. Consequently, the performance of the bass drivers can be concentrated toward delivery of market leading bass extension (-6dB @ 35Hz) that belies the speaker’s exceptionally compact size.
Obsessive Acoustic Optimisation
The degree of resonance management inherent in Wing’s Zerø shelf speaker enclosures borders on obsessive and is beyond that of many speakers priced in the tens of thousands of dollars. Dual enclosures to contain treble and mid-range resonance, an anechoic chamber and comprehensive deployment of damping and decoupling systems serves to micro-manage potential sources of resonance that can be a significant cause of sound colouration in conventional speakers.
Beautiful Heavy Metal
Featuring a stunning design aesthetic, Zerø shelf speakers are the ultimate in form and acoustic function – 7mm thick aluminum outer walls finished in premium anodising for exceptional beauty and durability.
Also impressive is the weight for such compact speakers (7.5kg each) yet the Zerøs stand only 230mm tall. Stunning shape and exceptional detailing on the surface, serious materials and meticulous engineering, that underpins Wing sound purity, under the grille. A strong piece of industrial design.
Bi-Wiring
Bi-wiring option and premium gold plating on binding posts complete the package.

I’m getting stunning results at reasonably high volume even on the turntable setup, apart from the odd issue with severely boosted bass on modern recordings. I can see audiophiles buying them for a second system only to end up enjoying them exclusively. Coherence mid to treble is too rare in any speaker and bass performance hard to comprehend for the Zero’s size. Free from comb-filtering and lobing even at distance and off-axis great depth, scale and imaging. They’re such a pleasure to listen to, and difficult amplifier load easy to forgive.
The thing that struck me first about the Zero’s, the moment the sound hit me, was the clarity and depth of the soundstage. I no longer felt like I was sitting hearing a performance, I felt like I was in the performance. The details came alive, the dynamics pushed and pulled like a beautiful ocean of sound. I couldn’t believe that these shelf sized speakers were capable of delivering the sound that they were delivering! Midrange so well defined, bass tucked in tight and the width was incredible. An incredible speaker, the Zero speakers deserve all the praise thus far.
My excitement in opening the box was exceeded within seconds of putting on my favourite songs – music just feels so much more alive on these speakers. They deliver a sound that’s almost palpable. More definition, more clarity, more sound. It’s like my music collection has been remastered – like my favourite band are in the room with me. Gives my Plinius amp a serious workout!
