Our History
Six years ago, Simon Lee, a Korean friend, asked me to develop a speaker from a 21cm.
After many tests of full range drivers, my choice for the mid range was a "historical" 21cm that I developed twenty years ago with Mr Guy, the owner of Supravox.
After having tested the new generation of Supravox drivers, I came back to my first love: a 21cm driver Supravox with a "vega" membrane made by AAC in France. On the basis of this membrane, we tested all possible wire supports and my choice was and still is a nomex support. I admit that it's not very modern but it's the sound I like and it seems the most neutral. On the other hand, I have remained faithful to the single layer flat copper wire for more rigidity. The most important things after the diaphragm profile, the coil and the weight, are the suspension, the spider, and the treatments applied to the diaphragm.
This was the beginning of a collaboration that gave birth to Aurai Audio in 2019.
Aurai Audio is above all, 30 years of experience, uncompromising products, 4 years of development, a reasonable price and products in accordance with my philosophy.
We use drivers and components that no longer need to prove themselves: Accuton, Audiotechnology, Supravox, Rike, Jensen... and to meet our requirements, we have developed a horn tweeter and an anti-resonant filter.
The Aurai Audio range is named after the ancient wind nymphs and offers a variety of highly accomplished models with strong character and personality.
The listening experience is therefore unique and will leave a mark on your memory.

Capitaine
The model "Capitaine" is a three-way that respects my philosophy.
A low register realized by a 4th order box with a 10 inch Beyma 30 hz 100 hz, a horizontal tqwt with a 215 supravox eom with coil nomex light membrane and treated surround suspension fabrics treated, which allows to have a reproducer which functions in quasi wide band without high pass a tweeter with double horn in omnidirectional phase x high cross 3Khz
Size : 115 cm x 40 cm x 56 cm
Bandwidth : 30Hz - 20 kHz
Sensitivity : 95 db 2.83 volts
Z Series
The Z Series loudspeakers are the latest design from Aurai Audio passion project. They continue to use what works so well in Aurai's Classic Series, but add to their performance in some very unique ways. The Z Series loudspeakers share the same low mass, custom tuned HF driver in a machined Delrin horn that earned Aurai so much praise. Like the Classic Series, the Z Series are constructed out of 24mm thick Finnish Birch plywood instead of MDF. This offers greater stiffness and control over resonances than MDF. The Smaller enclosure of the Z series is also more resistant to the colorations of a wood box. Last, they share the same high quality wiring, binding posts and internal components as the award winning Classic Series.
"First impressions? "What an incredible tweeter!"...This was one hellaciously fast and responsive HF unit. It dug deep into the finest upper harmonics...This unknown French tweeter was superior to the far heavier but famous Mundorf AMT in our regular monitors. It was superior to the inverted ceramid Accuton dome in our Albedo Aptica Two-way towers. It most reminded me of a Raal ribbon, albeit with a higher energy density and more color...I thought this dome tweeter to be second only to Michael Borreson's high-tech, ultra-costly ribbon which I'd heard in this room the year prior..." Srajan, Sixmoons
Where the Z Series differs from the Classic is the use of a Supravox full range driver (6,5", 8", 9" or 11") tuned to be used as a midrange that covers 65hz to 3500hz. The Supravox is loaded in what is called a TQWT (Tapered Quarter Wave Tube), that is open at the back of the enclosure. This is also why the enclosure on the Z series is so deep. The TQWT gives the Z series a boxless, open baffle type sound that covers the full range of the human voice. There are also gains in efficiency made with the Supravox driver, making it more reasonable to mate with tube amplification.
The Z Series horn loaded high frequency driver sits atop the enclosure rather than mounted on the front baffle. It is fully exposed so as to minimize diffraction effects. There is also a dipole option for the HF driver that puts two of them back to back. The dipole option creates a more full range dipole effect, and a more spacious presentation overall.
Highlights
- High efficiency
- Open baffle sound
- Superb construction
- Premium Crossover parts
- Holographic disappearing act
- Incredible midrange and HF performance

Why Direct Sale ?
The increase in the price of transport and raw materials could have led us to increase the selling price of our speakers.
We didn't want to do that because they seem to us at their fair price.
So we decided to sell our equipment directly and thus reduce the cost of distribution.
