A modern horn speaker that doesn’t sound like a horn
Alex‑12 is designed to keep the impact and scale you expect from high sensitivity systems, while staying smooth and balanced for long sessions. Vocals lock in, instruments separate easily, and the presentation stays coherent even off‑axis.
Bi‑Radial Wooden Horn + 1.4" Compression Driver
This is the heart of Alex‑12.
Very detailed top end—air and resolution without harshness
Neutral, natural midrange—voices sound real, not “cupped” or shouty
Stable imaging—focused center image and consistent dispersion
Low fatigue—clean detail you can listen to for hours
Key Features
CNC-machined, solid-birch horn block bonded into the cabinet (maximum rigidity, minimal resonance)
≈96 dB sensitivity for vivid dynamics with modest power
12″ woofer: paper cone and cloth surround.
Horn-loaded HF in a custom waveguide for control and dynamics
Hand-built Baltic birch cabinet; internal bracing; low-diffraction edges
Premium crossover parts; robust binding posts
Optional Active Alex-12 with integrated DSP/amps (plug-and-play, preset voicings)
Passive or Active
Our speakers are available in both passive and active versions—and both are built to the same high standard. The passive model is a classic, flexible setup that lets you pair the speakers with your favorite external amp and keep the signal chain simple.
The active version uses Hypex Fusion modules: high-end Class-D amplification with onboard DSP. This allows us to tune the crossover and time/phase alignment with greater precision, while also eliminating the need to buy a separate amplifier. In practice, you’re getting amplification and control that can outperform many standalone amps in the same price range—built directly into the speaker for a cleaner, more optimized system.
