Brand Hora Audio
Based in Japan (Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture), Hora Audio's workshop is located in a beautiful 150-year-old building, surrounded by lakes and mountains.
Formed in 2015, owner and Designer Ryo Aoyanagi painstakingly builds each loudspeaker. Hora Audio is all about human hands and the love they put into creating every Hora Audio piece. Made in limited numbers, and while there is a waiting list, the wait is worth it for those who want something truly exceptional.

Old, but at the same time, new
Backloaded Horn Technology was created a long time ago, and today, it is very rare to see this design in a loudspeaker. The MONO speaker was developed with the goal of making the normally large backloaded horn speaker as small as possible to fit in more modern living environments.
Of course, the most important thing is always the sound. With the MONO, Hora Audio has reminded backloaded technology to ensure a speaker that is thoroughly tuned to get the best from all kinds of music. MONO is a constant reminder that new technology isn’t always better, however advancing old technology with new technological refinements, brings past and present together to create something both exciting and very special.

Sound moves air, which is then transmitted to our bodies.
Horn Audio’s technology was developed many years ago as an efficient way to deliver sound to their ears more effectively and more efficiently. The idea was used in megaphones and musical instruments and then later applied to audio speakers.
COCO is a speaker that uses horn technology in all ranges. It blends classic technology with a sophisticated modern look. Nearly all of the materials used in COCO are entirely natural, and the sounds it delivers is altogether natural, just like nature. COCO can be gentle and intimate when the music requires, and then in an instant, commanding, powerful, and explosive when the music demands it. Like nature, a gentle breeze to a strong wind, to a storm, COCO delivers music in the moment, in an unforgettable way.
