Est. year: 2007

Davone Audio is a small Danish loudspeaker company that has been building speakers since 2007, known for cabinets made from thermo-formed plywood rather than flat panels. It is run by Paul Schenkel, an aeronautical engineer with a master's degree in physics and a background in acoustics, and every model is hand built in the company's own facility in Denmark. The speakers are designed to sit in living rooms as pieces of furniture as much as audio equipment.

Range & what it's known for

The catalogue mixes passive speakers and active systems. The Twist is a floorstander with twisted side panels, the Solo and Ray are compact curved designs, and the Reference series runs through the Reference One, Reference Two and Reference Three. Meander is an all-in-one music system, and a wireless range brings the same cabinet language to streaming use. The defining construction is a seven-layer beech plywood shell with veneer, bent under heat into curved forms that avoid parallel internal walls.

Who owns it and where it's made

Davone is a privately run Danish business led by Paul Schenkel. Design and production stay in Denmark, where cabinets are formed and speakers assembled by hand in small numbers, and the company stresses quality over volume. The drivers used in models such as the Twist are also Danish designed.

The lineup in this catalog

Floorstanding loudspeakers, from the compact Moxie through the Twist and Meander to the larger Solo, plus the Reference One and Reference Two. Sensitivity sits around 87 to 89 dB across the range, and the Reference One extends down to 29 Hz.

Who it's for

Davone speakers are for homes where a loudspeaker has to work as a design object, and for buyers who prefer small-batch Danish craft. The Meander or wireless models suit those who want a complete system without separate electronics, the Twist and Solo are the step into passive speakers, and the Reference models crown the catalogue for bigger spaces. It also suits buyers who care about wood construction and visible hand finishing.
