Summary

  • Goldmund has introduced a new immersive spatial concept at the Vienna Show 2026 to signal a new chapter under its ownership
  • The contemporary installation highlights the flagship Gaia Loudspeakers paired with the brand’s latest audio innovations
  • The exhibition layout features a sequential journey spanning a historical archive museum, a dedicated listening room, and a reflection lounge

High-end Swiss audio label Goldmund has officially unveiled its new immersive exhibition concept at the Vienna Show 2026, placing its flagship Gaia Loudspeakers at the absolute center of the presentation. Running from June 4 to June 7, 2026, the interactive installation marks a significant step in the brand’s modern evolution, transitioning the Geneva-founded name from a traditional hardware manufacturer into a luxury Maison dedicated to the curation of musical experiences.

Conceived as a curated spatial journey rather than a standard commercial showroom, the multi-layered installation guides visitors through a sequence of distinct environments. The experience is anchored by a dedicated listening room designed to foster an attentive and refined perception of sound. Within this space, Goldmund presents its contemporary vision of music by showcasing a pair of its flagship Gaia Loudspeakers. To achieve absolute sound reproduction, the premier speakers are interconnected with the new Ouranos Excellence system and an engineered Eidos Streamer, preserving the total integrity of the audio layers.

In contrast to the modern performance space, the layout incorporates a historical Museum and archive area that pays tribute to the engineering legacy Goldmund has cultivated since its founding in 1978. This retrospective segment allows attendees to discover the brand’s historic milestones, highlighted by an open look at the Telos 8800 amplifier. Alongside these innovations, the showcase displays the iconic T3 Tonearm—marking Goldmund’s very first technical development—and the historic Reference 1 Turntable. The spatial journey concludes in an open lounge environment designed for dialogue, reflection, and community discussion.
