Design and Performance Philosophy

Named after the distance from Earth:

Akkurat Audio model naming follows a space travel logic. The closer to Earth, the smaller the speaker and the lower its maximum SPL required to reach reference level. Conversely, the further from Earth, the larger the speaker and the higher the SPL needed.

Our product line offers a flexible mix-and-match approach, defined by the listening distance, whether using Passive or Outboard Active Crossover designs, Point Source or Line Source speakers.

The lineup spans from the compact Satellite speaker, delivering reference level up to 2,5 m. It extends to the stackable Singularity Line Source speaker, reaching reference level up to 11,5 m without horizontal beaming, and nearly 20 m when beaming is introduced.

Our subwoofers are likewise designed for stacking, ensuring they meet the extreme performance requirements set by our speakers. Keep in mind that the reference level for subwoofers is 10 dB higher than for speakers (115 dB), placing significant demands on subwoofer performance.

An Akkurat Audio System is named by the combination of its main speakers (LCR), main subwoofers, and the total number of units in the setup. For example, a pair of Luna speakers with a pair of Station subwoofers is named a Luna Station 2.2 system.

Outstanding Clarity and Performance:

Our speakers offers maximum clarity and sound pressure level (SPL) for their size. Focusing on the best value for the components and materials used. All speakers from Akkurat Audio is using top of the line components such as internal wiring, capacitors, inductors, resistors, speaker terminals and Air Motion Tweeters from Mundorf. And lastly we feature the highly acclaimed USHINDI Ultra Low Distortion Transducers from Purifi-Audio.

Consistent Tonality Across Series:

By choosing only top of the line and cohesive components from our partners. We ensure that Akkurat Audio speakers have a unified tonal profile across all series. Which furthermore ensures scalability, allowing for easy upgrades or reallocation of speakers within the system.

We ensure that your journey as a customer is supported for the long run, thereby allowing you to evolve. For instance, you can transition from an orchestral setup to a full-blown cinematic setup by combining speakers across the music and cinema series. Additionally, you can repurpose your already owned speakers to further enhance the experience.

High Performance and Headroom Across Series:

We develop the different speaker models in the respective series in tiers based on the distance from the speaker to the MLP (Main Listening Position). For example, the reference tag refers to a speaker model specifically designed to deliver reference-level performance (85dB + 20dB headroom, 115dB LFE, 20Hz – 20kHz ±2-3dB) at certain distances, starting at 2,5 meters*. Furthermore, if you require more power or headroom, we recommend adding more of our Subwoofers before moving on to a higher-tier speaker model.

Easy Integration into Wall Installations:

Our speaker cabinets are engineered to be shallow while still built from 30mm MDF. This ensures seamless wall-mount integration (incl. toe-in preparation on request) without taking up unnecessary depth in your living space. Furthermore, we exclusively offer sealed cabinets to minimize resonance and deliver optimal room installation with precise frequency response.

Colours and Visual materials:

All speakers from Akkurat Audio resemble the ugly duckling. We design our speakers to have an anonymous look by using toned down colours and visual materials. As our speakers are meant to be experienced, not seen.

To achieve this, we apply a coat of one layer primer followed by two layers of matte black both using water-based paint. This process not only ensures slight waterproofing but also creates a discreet surface color, making the speaker virtually invisible behind acoustic fabric. Furthermore, this approach reduces costs for the customer while minimizing environmental impact.

Deep Low frequency Support:

Our Subwoofers support waveforms down to 20Hz and offers added headroom to all Akkurat Audio speakers. The Subwoofers are developed with Trinnov’s Propertiary Waveforming Technology and Dirac ART in mind. For increased headroom we recommend adding multiple stacked subwoofers in a system.

We prioritize sustainability by producing our products locally and only manufacturing them when ordered:

All Akkurat Audio speakers are locally assempled, at our location in Denmark using local production partners. Our manufactoring process uses minimal shipping of components from outside Northern Europe, focused on reducing the use of non-sustainable materials.

A Sound Experience offers a few demonstration setups for audition. While all other speakers are produced only when ordered (built to order).

Competitive Pricing:

Although our speakers deliver reference level performance or above, we offer our speakers at 10-30% lower prices than competing brands, all while maintaining superior audio performance.**

Further Information:

*We also offer performance well beyond reference level, please have a look at our Line Source Series.
**Our Design and Performance Philosophy keeps pricing competitive. We avoid exotic materials, costly production, heavy marketing, investors, and dealer markups. Instead, everything we do is powered by the commitment of our highly passionate team.
