monologue
InquireThe new horn speaker "monologue" added to the MONO series.
In fact, only the surface has changed.
A ceramic and stone-like texture created by a unique method of layering cement on top of wood, such as the lacquering technique "Makichi". The warm presence that naturally adapts to life is unique to manual work.
No, it may be the sound that has really changed.
The cement-covered speaker suppressed vibration and became a clear, focused sound. It is strange that both high and low notes have grown and changed to a wide-range sound. The tight and tight horn sound expresses modern music in a crisp and light way.
The sound of the sound cannot be measured by the specifications alone. Speakers that produce sound under various physical factors can still be said to be "instruments".
The vocal breath is closer to the ear, and it is as if you can see the movement of the fingers pinching the strings. It even exudes something like the aura of music. A "dialogue" that is closely related to music may be a "dialogue with yourself".

Hora Audio aims to enrich people's lives through music by providing high-quality, handcrafted audio products to our customers. Hora Audio's workshop is located in a rural village in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture, surrounded by lakes and mountains. Our products are entirely handcrafted by our founder, Ryo Aoyanagi, who personally handles every step of the process, including woodworking, metalworking, and painting. While production is limited, we focus on craftsmanship that embodies a unique "resonance" and "presence" not found in mass-produced items—creating products supported by human hands and heart. The workshop is housed in the dirt-floor area of a 150-year-old farmhouse. Seeing the sturdy beams and pillars, still supporting the workspace today, reminds us of the craftsmanship of the artisans who built them—it feels as if they are our "teachers" in making things. As we work, we sometimes wonder, "What kind of sound will this speaker produce 150 years from now?"
