SPANISH HIGH-END BRAND LORENZO AUDIO LABS LAUNCHES THEIR LOUDSPEAKERS

Lorenzo Audio Labs is a new Spanish audio brand composed of a team of two: Miguel Lorenzo Castro and Josep M. Gallart.

The pair from Lorenzo Audio Labs has a wide breadth of experience with over 20 years designing and manufacturing loudspeakers, designing HiFi products for other audio brands, and working both as a HiFi distributor and a HiFi magazine publisher.

MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES

Lorenzo Audio Labs believe in handmaking their products, they say “we are fully convinced that only handcrafted work offers the extraordinary level of quality we are committed to. This is shown in the manufacture of the hand-welded crossover (without printed circuit boards and made with the best components available on the market), the bass reflex ports (hand-turned with very special tonewoods), and the Panzerholz wood parts designed in-house and used in critical places like the nuts and knobs of the speaker connectors, insulating discs on the feet, or solid pieces holding the drivers to eliminate the need for metal screws to touch their chassis and transmit the vibrations from the cabinets to the drivers.

Lorenzo Audio Labs use paper cones and Alnico magnets along with high-end components from Duelund, Jupiter, Mundorf, and Pathaudio. Internal wiring of the speakers is made with high-purity copper, silver, and gold wire.

OUTER FINISHING

The finish of the Lorenzo Audio Labs loudspeakers is 100% handcrafted by a fourth-generation craftsman, whose family has worked since 1888 with marquetry and inlay techniques. Cabinets are covered with natural wood veneer, rigorously selected for its beauty and durability, along with handcrafted inlays of various woods and mother-of-pearl. Finally, the cabinets are varnished in high gloss finish, with no less than seven varnish layers.

VIBRATION CONTROL

To achieve the best energy control in the speakers, Lorenzo Audio build solid enclosures with phenolic plywood with elastomer in a restricted layer to absorb the vibrations transmitted by the drivers. Horns, front, and rear parts are made by 5-axis CNC machinery. They use solid steel feet with a lower piece from Panzerholz, which filters the floor vibrations. If the equipment is placed on a carpet, these Panzerholz discs can be removed.

HiFi Pig Says: High-end audio lends itself to the application of Artisan production techniques, it’s great to see these traditions being kept alive and applied to HiFi that strives to look as good as it sounds.
