TRUE CUSTOM BUILDS

Each Heinsenfolg speaker is custom made-to-order and can be designed with a variety of hardwoods, paint finishes, metals and speaker driver options to suit your lifestyle. Have a special hardwood or paint color you’d like us to match? Chances are we can get it AND utilize illustration software to visualize your final speaker before taking one step in the wood shop. Phone or email about what design(s) and finishing option(s) you are interested in which may affect final pricing.

SNEAKY SMART SPEAKERS

We design and build our amplified, wireless lifestyle speakers to be intentionally “dumb”— meaning they have NO “smart speaker” hardware or software placed inside them. Besides the internal Bluetooth 5.0 module, there is NO built-in “intelligent” technology that will eventually become obsolete. We simply combine tried & true high fidelity speaker drivers powered by best-in-class amplifiers in fine furniture quality acoustically damped audio cabinets. Beautifully crafted with ultimate performance, designed to enhance a lifetime of memorable experiences.

CONTROL & BACK PANELS

Every Heinsenfolg lifestyle speaker features an OG Tone + Volume control panel. Use these classic Treble & Bass adjustments to customize the sound to exactly how you like it. In the back panel of every speaker, you’ll find the RCA jacks + the DC power jack (power cord included).

CONNECTIVITY & UPGRADABILITY

In addition to every Heinsenfolg speaker having the easy to use, CD-like quality of an internal Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connection, they are also equipped with a set of industry standard gold-tipped RCA inputs— one of the most common types of audio jacks, future-proofed in its simplicity for decades & beyond. And for true audiophiles, the RCA inputs bypass the internal DAC for even higher quality possibilities. Virtually any modern analog signal can be connected via the RCA inputs.
