Est. year: 1986
Venture Audio is a high-end loudspeaker maker founded in 1986 by physicist Njoo Hoo Kong, known as Didi, with offices in Brasschaat, Belgium, and in Singapore. Its passive and active speakers are built around first-order crossovers and drivers the company designs itself, and it also makes amplifiers, cables and a large car audio range. Didi holds a master's degree in physics from the University of Frankfurt and did research in cryogenics and superconducting materials.
Range & what it's known for
The passive Ultimate series covers the Charm and La Vie stand-mounts, the Encore, the Ultimate MKII, the Grand Ultimate MKIII, the Ultimate Reference and the Xtreme. The active Quantum series includes the Grand Extreme, the Quantum Signature, the Quantum 8 and the QA models. The Quantum 8, the first in the series, appeared at High End Munich in 2016 and is a three-way design with 2,500 watts of class D power, SHARC DSP and a stated 25 Hz to 40 kHz response. The QA-1 bookshelf, the two-way QA-2 with 500 plus 150 watts and the three-way QA-3 use 96 kHz DSP and XLR inputs. In 2001 Didi began designing Venture's own drivers in carbon fibre graphite composite and abaca graphite composite to suit the first-order filters.
Who owns it and where it's made
Venture remains a family business. After more than 35 years at the helm Didi passed the company to his daughters Lee Ming and Lee Ching, both long-time executives. The European company, Venture BVBA, sits at Hanendreef 23 in Brasschaat, near Antwerp, and Venture Audio Pte Ltd operates from Ubi Avenue 3 in Singapore. The car audio range runs from tweeters such as the DDBE-1.5 to the DD-12 woofer.
The lineup in this catalog
Active floorstanders such as the QA-2 and the Quantum 8, two compact passive models from the Ultimate series, the VP 200DT preamplifier with DAC and the VP 100P phono stage.
Who it's for
Venture is aimed at systems where speakers and matching electronics come from one source, with a choice between passive models and fully active DSP designs. The QA-1 or QA-2 suit small and mid-sized rooms, the QA-3 and Quantum 8 add size and output, and the Ultimate series serves owners who prefer their own amplification, partnered with the V200A+ or V120S amplifiers from the same maker.
