Introducing the Simco V12 



A high-efficiency horn-loaded two-way, designed by Shakuto Audio, where studio precision meets live energy. The carefully tuned 12" woofer reaches with authority from 36 Hz, while the solid-wood horn delivers natural attack, articulate mids, and effortless scale. 96 dB sensitivity (1 W/1 m), 36–20 kHz response, 8 Ω. Hand-built from Baltic birch with top-tier components.

Mid-century inspired—minimalism, brutalism, honest materials.

Vitalic-12 is a modern, high-efficiency 2-way that delivers horn dynamics without the room-overrun. A fast 12-inch woofer hands off to a precision waveguide for effortless scale, impact, and low listening fatigue—at everyday volumes and well beyond. 

Why it feels alive

High efficiency, low compression. Big, unforced dynamics and microdetail at low volume; clean headroom when you push it.

Seamless hand-off. Crossover is tuned by measurement and ear for a relaxed, coherent midband—voices sit forward, never sharp.

Real bass, compact footprint. A tuned enclosure gives agile, tuneful low end—music, not boom.

Monolithic Wooden Horn

What it is:

A horn carved from a large, solid billet of Baltic birch plywood. The mass and stiffness provide an exceptionally stable acoustic structure.

Musical properties & advantages:

  • Minimal coloration. Dense wood damps parasitic vibration—cleaner mids, natural tone.
  • Greater intelligibility. Attacks and decays resolve without glassiness; more micro-detail at low levels.
  • Soundstage & focus. Tighter localization; stage width and depth remain stable.
  • Low listening fatigue. No spiky resonances or ringing—easy to listen for hours.
  • Dynamics with control. The structure doesn’t “breathe”: drums hit hard and bass stays tight, even on peaks.

What you’ll hear

  • Center-locked vocals with body and air
  • Drum transients that start/stop on a dime
  • Brass/strings with bite and shimmer, minus the glare
  • A wide, stable stage that stays intact off-axis

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″ pro woofer: carbon-fiber–impregnated 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 Vitalic-12 with integrated DSP/amps (plug-and-play, preset voicings)

Finishes & Options

  • Cabinet: Baltic birch — raw/natural ply (clear or matte oil) or custom real-wood veneer (Walnut, Oak, bespoke)
  • Baffle: Black silk or full Noir
  • Configuration: Passive or Active; matching plinths available

Your system, your way

  • Passive or Active. Run Vitalic-12 with your favorite amp, or choose the integrated DSP/amp option for true plug-and-play (preset voicings and room-friendly trims).
  • Amplifier-friendly. High sensitivity works beautifully with quality tubes or low-to-medium-power solid-state.
  • Rooms: excels in small-to-medium spaces; scales with placement in larger rooms
