Hiro Speaker - incorporating the Horn X2
A Complete Horn-Based Speaker System
Balanced authority.
Horn-driven dynamics.
Coherent from top to bottom.
The Hiro was designed for listeners who want the scale, openness, and articulation of a horn system...
without the disconnected presentation and complexity often associated with traditional multi-driver speakers.
Instead of dividing the music between multiple overlapping drivers and complicated crossover regions...
the Hiro simplifies the architecture into a far more unified 2-way horn system.
Less strain.
Better dynamic flow.
More control.
One continuous presentation.
| Continuum Crossover Tuning Array | Continuum Capacitor Array | Continuum Resistor Array |
|---|---|---|
|
The Continuum Tuning Array lets you shape both the crossover engagement and horn level... so the system works with your room and listening preferences — not against them. Capacitor and resistor arrays give you control over vocal presence, upper-mid energy, and overall horn integration... from forward and energetic... to relaxed and smooth. The main driver continues... as the horn gradually takes over. No gaps. |
Three selectable capacitors bracket the crossover range... allowing the Hiro to adapt to both your room and your listening preferences.
Dial in the presentation first... then later step into a boutique capacitor at the exact value you prefer. No guesswork. |
Adjust the horn level to match your room, listening distance, and preferred presentation.
Simple control... proper integration.

The Horn X2 Acoustic Engine
At the heart of the system is the Horn X2 Acoustic Engine.
Not an add-on...
part of the architecture itself.
Operating from the upper vocal range to the top of the frequency spectrum...
the Horn X2 brings presence, articulation, vocal clarity, and effortless detail to the Hiro.
The horn handles the speed, projection, and articulation...
while the foundation driver handles the weight and body beneath it.
The result is a speaker that remains composed, articulate, and dynamically alive...
even at lower listening levels.
The Foundation
An 8-inch Mark Audio magnesium-aluminum driver provides the weight, body, and foundation beneath the horn system.
Light.
Rigid.
Controlled.
Where smaller systems often begin to compress...
the Hiro remains effortless and coherent.
Speed above.
Weight below.
Anchored... not forced.
The Architecture
Horn alignment is built in — no adjustment required.
Fine tuning is handled through the Continuum Tuning Array.
The horn and crossover are external.
Accessible.
Adjustable.
Isolated.
Accessible for tuning.
Adjustable for integration.
Isolated from cabinet vibration and pressure.
Placed where it can be understood... and controlled.
This is not complexity.
It’s control.

Order & Return Policy
Each system is not pulled from warehouse inventory — it is assembled and tuned around your selected components and configuration and is built to order using selected components and finishes. Because of this, orders are considered final once production begins.
We stand behind the performance of every system — what you receive is exactly what was designed and tested.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery.
If returned, the system must be reworked and restored to a neutral baseline before resale.
A 20% restocking fee applies. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer; we can provide a discounted return shipping label upon request.
All returned items must be in original condition. Any damage will be assessed and deducted from the refund accordingly.
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location and system size. You’ll see the full cost before completing your order — no estimates or surprises. All systems are securely packed to ensure they arrive exactly as intended.
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with tracking and further details. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
