01 / The work

Art + Sound

Cobalt Audio creates limited, made-to-order passive loudspeakers conceived as part of your interior—as important as pieces of fine art or design. Our flagship speakers are built with a range of custom additions from finishes to horns and feet. Each commissioned loudspeaker beautifully integrates into your space.

Model 8

Our most compact loudspeaker, Model 8 is designed as an intimate object with the presence and scale of a far larger system.

Each pair features our 9″ circular top-mounted ABS formed plastic horn and proprietary driver architecture, engineered to create an immediate, unfiltered presentation—a sense of the performance existing physically within the room.
