Hiro Junior (PAIR)
Hiro Junior — The Hiro Personality, Expressed in 28 Liters
Focused Scale | Uncompromising Character Purpose-built for the 28-liter enclosure.
The Hiro Junior is a precise architectural expression of our foundational engineering. It is not a reduced model; it is a system scaled with mathematical intent to provide the Hiro voice within a 28-liter internal volume. This design ensures that the core sound signature remains intact while providing the correct physical proportions for mid-sized listening environments.
The Flagship Aperture
To achieve the wide, effortless acoustic window that defines our sound, the Junior utilizes the B&C ME45 horn [1]. This 12-inch cast-aluminum constant-directivity component is the same flagship horn [2] used in our largest models, allowing the Junior to deliver a level of clarity, pattern control, and dynamic ease that is rarely found in a cabinet of this size.
Internal Integrity & External Control
We prioritize the internal sanctity of our designs. The Hiro Junior features a top-mounted resistor socket, which allows you to fine-tune high-frequency presence and balance the system to your room’s unique acoustics. This external interface ensures that the internal crossover—a second-order, phase-coherent network—remains undisturbed, isolated, and perfectly sealed within the cabinet’s internal vault.
Structural Foundation
The Hiro Junior is housed in a CNC-cut ¾-inch Baltic Birch enclosure, utilizing rabbet-joint construction for maximum internal rigidity.
-
Proportional Scaling: A 28-liter internal enclosure volume engineered for speed, tunefulness, and accurate low-frequency foundation.
-
Flagship HF Delivery: Employs the same 12-inch cast-aluminum aperture found in the full-scale Hiro models.
-
Sealed Internal Electronics: Voicing adjustments are handled via an external resistor socket, requiring no internal access to the cabinet.
-
Mechanical Interlock Joinery: Baltic Birch construction with visible end-grain rabbet joints for superior internal damping and strength.
-
Solid Hardwood Baffle: ¼-inch thick solid exotic wood slabs—never veneer—cut and finished by hand.
