We've gone on the hunt with our 14,900 blog readers. The task is to find the Danish upcoming band with the best sound and present them with the Højttalerfabrikkens Lydpris. Now you can hear the candidates.

At System Audio, we love music. We love great audio experiences from artists who care about sound. Unfortunately, not all releases sound the same.

That's why we want to find the Danish upcoming artist who sounds the best and present them with the Højttalerfabrikkens Lydpris.

Plenty of music lovers have already helped us find the new bubbly names on the Danish music scene. They did so after we asked them: Who is the best Danish upcoming artist right now?

Now we have an impressive list of 66 names of what's sprouting in the Danish musical soil.

There's everything from acid rock to pop, electronic, jazz and dance music. You can hear for yourself the impressive variety of style and expression found by the blog's fantastic readers.

Listen to the 66 Sound Prize nominees on Spotify.

Listen to them here on Tidal.

Why care about the sound at all?

Because music dies when it doesn't sound good.

Music experiences take wings when, for example, we can clearly hear what the singer is singing. When we can hear all the instruments. When it's not all jumbled together in an annoying tangled hairball of sound.

Because then we don't want to listen to music.

That's why we want to shine extra sunshine on those who make a difference with their sound.

That is why this is now happening:

Test pilots find the 5 finalists of the Audio Prize

System Audio has 167 independent test pilots who help us develop our award-winning speakers.

Some of the test pilots are musicians, some are sound engineers and others are just ordinary people who love music and good sound.

The test pilots are invited to listen through the music samples to find the 5 artists that sound the best.

They need 14 days to assess the 66 candidates, and on May 15th they have narrowed the list down to the 5 finalists who will compete for the Højttalerfabrikkens Lydpris.

Then comes the final.

Anyone and everyone (including you) can vote for their favorite. The final will take place here on our blog from May 16-31.

The winner will be announced on June 1.

What you need to do now

Hear for yourself the nominees for the Højttalerfabrikkens Lydpris on Spotify or Tidal.

It's really good!

Enjoy the many musical expressions bubbling in the Danish underground.

But notice how much difference there is in the sound you are presented with.

Some have a large and alluring sound universe, others are more simple and direct.
