Meet Horns
They used to honk. Now they conquer.
Modern horns aren’t relics — they’re revolutions. With advanced geometry and real engineering behind them, today’s horns crush the old myths and leave ribbons and tweeters gasping for air.
Where domes scatter and ribbons collapse, horns focus. They compress the wave, throw it forward, and keep every ounce of energy alive — delivering the full punch, tone, and nuance the recording had in the room.
And that’s why the Horn X2 sits at the core of everything we make — from the Little Hiro to the towering Hiro Classic. Same horn. Same crossover. Total transformation.

Our Process: One Engine. Many Voices.
Every Shinjitsu speaker begins with the Horn X2 - the crossover, horn, and L-pad system we engineered to outperform the rest.
Start with a Smarter Engine
The Horn X2 isn’t just a component - it’s the horn engine, our foundation. Designed to integrate with a wide range of high-performance woofers, it lets us build speakers that are dynamic, coherent, and refined - without relying on digital trickery or bloated circuits. All of our speakers use the same DNA - Mark Audio extended range drivers and professional Beyma Horns. Combined with a 5 component crossover and adjustable L pad its simplicity ensures clarity.

Build with Purpose
From the Little Hiro to the Hiro and beyond, we hand-build each speaker with matched drivers, tuned cabinets, and natural wood finishes - all carefully selected to harmonize with the Horn X2 system. Every model is designed for long-term ownership, not trends.

Play What Matters
Whether it’s a low-watt tube amp or a high-end solid-state rig, our speakers make the most of it. You’ll hear the tone, weight, and immediacy that only horn-loaded sound can provide - without the harshness or fatigue. It’s the sound you’ve been chasing.

Horn-Driven Design
We build every speaker around the Horn X2 - a complete crossover and horn module engineered into the core of each design. From compact monitors to full-size towers, they all share the same DNA: clarity, control, and finesse that scale with size - not compromise.
Custom Cabinetry
Each speaker cabinet is tuned, braced, and hand-finished for performance and visual harmony. Whether it’s compact or full-size, every build is optimized to provide seamless integration with our horn engine.
Smart Engineering Inside
We choose components based on performance — not hype. Every part is tested, measured, and proven to deliver outstanding sound in real-world systems. Price doesn’t matter if something sounds better. Our two-way designs keep things simple, focused, and remarkably clear.
Future-Ready by Design
Our speakers are built to last — and evolve. The cabinet is made from real hardwood, allowing easy restoration with a light sanding and oil if blemished. Inside, we use a standard 1-inch compression driver that can be easily upgraded in the future — just unbolt and replace. Quality that endures, performance that grows with you.

Hiro 6.5
Discovered about the Hiro 6.5 in an audio forum called Speaker Porn. Well, in every way this is true. First, the Hiros sound fantastic. I'm using a Prima Luna tube amplifier and these speakers sing with it. I am astonished with the amount of bass that is produced. And the horns are equally amazing. Clear. Smooth. Articulate.

Hi Morris,
Hope you’re doing great! I was curious - what kind of cables did
you use for the compression drivers? They look really solid and sharp. I was thinking of using the same ones for the connections on the back of the speakers I just built.By the way, the speakers sound fantastic!
I’m blown away by your product! It turned some decent JBL speakers into something truly special. I can’t believe how large and detailed your horns made the small bookshelf speakers sound. I just moved my Klipsch Forte 3s to the garage and the JBL Studio monitors are heading there next. The music just jumps out at me. I hear things that I’ve never heard before in my favorite tracks.

Thx, the 1.2’s (resistors) arrived today. Right now I’m getting excellent results with the 2 ohm resistor/ 10 uf cap combo. IOW, nearly back the original setup. Once again, swapping the silver leads to the horn absolutely crushed it sonically on all imaginable fronts. Unbelievable transition 🤗 Mick Sent from my iPhone
