The Origin of LALS Audio

LALS Audio is a 100% Taiwanese audio brand, founded in 2008, devoted exclusively to the design and manufacture of classical horn loudspeakers. From the very beginning, LALS has followed a clear and unwavering path: to preserve the authentic principles of horn loudspeaker design while making them accessible, honest, and musically truthful..

Before founding LALS, its creator, Mr. Huang Rixing, had already accumulated decades of experience in the audio industry. He worked for many years designing and manufacturing horn loudspeakers for third parties, collaborating with numerous internationally recognized brands. Over the course of his career, he has designed hundreds of different loudspeaker models, earning a reputation as a true master of horn loudspeaker engineering..

When he decided to found LALS, he did so with a very clear vision: to revive the authentic, uncompromising classic horn loudspeaker and make it viable in the contemporary world, without resorting to exorbitant prices or cosmetic shortcuts

A Clear Philosophy: Total Control and Technical Consistency

Compression drivers with titanium diaphragms

Since its inception, LALS has adopted an approach that is rare today: controlling the entire process internally.

Solid wood horns.

At LALS, they don’t just assemble parts bought at random. Everything is designed and manufactured in-house:

Acoustic enclosures

Crossover filters

Even the capacitors and inductors for the crossovers are custom-made to their own specifications. Huang Rixing explains it bluntly: they tested "high-end" components from well-known brands, but they didn't sound the way he was looking for. He chose to forgo commercial labels and external certifications to prioritize the actual sonic result. In some cases, they even adjusted the nominal voltage of the capacitors to achieve the correct Q factor, something very few manufacturers consider today

The result is a brand that does not rely on third-party suppliers to define its sound. In high-fidelity audio, that is almost a rarity.

Traditional materials, executed with modern rigor

You didn’t come this far to stop

Real compression drivers,

not dome tweeters hidden in a decorative horn.

Large-diameter woofers

with cloth surrounds, high efficiency, and fast response

Enclosures built entirely of Russian birch plywood,

which is stiffer and has lower resonance than MDF.

Wooden horns,

carefully calculated.

Each enclosure is rationally reinforced internally, avoiding useless superstructures that only add weight without acoustic benefit.

The goal is not to impress on a spec sheet, but to achieve a fluid, dynamic, and natural sound.

High Efficiency, a Vacuum Tube Soul

It is no coincidence that LALS loudspeakers perform exceptionally well with tube amplifiers, even those with very low power. Models with sensitivities near or above 95 dB allow you to enjoy 300B amplifiers of barely 8 W with surprising ease and sonic scale.

This is one of the keys to their success: dynamics, immediacy, and presence, without the need for high power or artificial gimmicks. The sound is not "pushed"; it flows

Brand Objective

LALS does not aim to compete in the realm of ostentatious luxury or aggressive marketing. Its objective is different and much more difficult:

To offer authentic, classic horn loudspeakers, manufactured as they used to be, but with today’s technical expertise, at prices that remain justifiable.

For this reason, they are often compared to historical brands like JBL or TAD in concept, but with a handcrafted execution and cost control that allows them to stand at a very competitive point, especially in the European market.

A brand with a past, present, and future

After more than 15 years as a brand and many more decades of accumulated experience, LALS has consolidated itself as one of the few current firms that keep the authentic spirit of the horn loudspeaker alive. Not as nostalgia, but as a fully viable solution for those seeking emotion, realism, and uncompromising musicality.

For those who have never heard a well-designed horn loudspeaker, LALS is often a revelation. For those who already know this world, it is usually a confirmation.
