The Acousta Quarter Wave (QW)
What? The Quarter Wave is a folded horn designed to fire at a precise angle into the wall, using the boundary to reinforce clean, natural bass.
Why? We make it for listeners who want full Lowther performance without having loudspeakers dominate the room, as it can sit discreetly behind furniture and still work exactly as intended.
How it feels It feels effortless and unintrusive, creating the sense that the music is simply part of the space rather than a dominating visible source.
Average wait time: Typically 4 - 6 Weeks

Why? We make it because it remains the most versatile path into the Lowther sound, easy to place in real rooms while preserving the character that made the Acousta name famous.
How it feels It feels immediate, stable and relaxed, encouraging long listening sessions where you forget about equipment and stay with the music.
