Introducing Cine12 - a HT speaker with extreme dynamics and constant directivity

Cine12 is currently in development for an LSK kit.



This is a speaker designed with home cinema in mind. As such, it doesn't need much extension, making a small box with high sensitivity possible. Max SPL is around 120 dB, 95 dB sensitivity, 60 Hz anechoic extension.

Revelator Tower

This is a project currently in progress, featuring a Scan Speak Revelator Woofer and a ring radiator.

The drivers were purchased together with a simple passive crossover. The previous owner wasn't satisfied with the result, describing the combination as overly bright sounding. The reason for this was not hard to find - running a Vifa XT tweeter with a simple crossover will very easily result in brightness. This project will feature a waveguide to overcome the limitations of the tweeter.

Introducing Cinem8

This is a home theatre speaker in progress: Cinem8.

It brings together elements of pro and home audio. With a compression driver loaded into a pro horn for superior dynamics and dispersion control. Peerless 8" midwoofers are used for their high sensitivity, smooth response and excellent value.


This is an active speaker for a client, with a kit based on this design to follow.

Monster sub

We're currently looking at a design for a HT monster sub, with a view to offering it as an LSK product.

This could be offered both as a DIY kit and fully finished.

We could offer a special pre-order price for a group, if there is sufficient interest. We can also take on feedback regarding what people would like, in terms of the type of sub on offer, form factor, etc. Anything is possible.

Some of the options include:
  • passive sub for use with external high powered pro amps or plate amps
  • large sealed multi driver - dual opposed
  • extreme drivers - we can get in TC Sounds LMS drivers as we are the distributor
  • value oriented drivers from Dayton - we're also a distributor
  • infinite baffle kits to suit installation in walls or ceilings
  • large ported LFE monsters
  • giant horn subs
We can also offer options beyond the usual black box.
