Velikinac Audio Lab is a Serbian family company headed by father and son Velikinac. It was born out of a deep love for good sound and the desire to achieve the most realistic sound from a loudspeaker. Velikinac Audio Lab builds on thirty years of dedication and painstaking testing of the most diverse acoustic technologies and solutions.
Below are photos of some of their earlier models, each with its unique features.
Valikinac Differo
Velikinac has built tried and tested projects and unique models designed to satisfy the most refined audiophile and aesthetic aspirations for themselves and as OEM manufacturers for other companies. All products are built by hand in their workshops, where the manufacture of the cabinets is entrusted to craftsmen with many years of experience, and each piece of construction is precisely processed and checked multiple times before it finds its place in the finished product. In addition to cabinet making and veneering in natural wood, Velikinac Audio Lab also produces crossovers for all its models and drivers of its own construction, which is rare in the business.
Velikinac Margarita
Velikinac Audio Lab’s portfolio spans many models based on diverse designs. The company builds speakers of its own design and models based on DIY designs, optimized and refined according to its specifications. Additionally, these models can be ordered in a well-honed standard configuration or, uniquely, custom-built according to the customer’s wishes.
Model Fakir One
For instance, if one prefers a particular Altec driver in combination with a bullet tweeter and front-loaded woofer, Velikinac can build it. Whether one prefers active or passive drivers, field coil drivers, Mundorf, Jantzen, or Lundahl components for the crossovers, it’s all possible. Naturally, Velikinac does not blindly use the specified custom components, but they carefully implement them so that they combine them in a musical result they approve of.
Velikinac uses a stacked “woven” particle board construction for the Sirius to achieve the most natural sound, and they also build the horn structures themselves.
