Год основания: 1978
Acapella is a German loudspeaker specialist founded by Hermann Winters and Alfred Rudolph, and one of the world's leading manufacturers of horn loudspeakers and ion tweeters, a driver technology the company has pursued with unusual consistency and depth compared with most rival brands that treat horn loading as a niche side project rather than a core engineering identity.
Range & what it's known for
The catalog is built almost entirely around horn-loaded floorstanding and standmount loudspeakers, with Acapella's proprietary ion tweeter as its single defining engineering signature - a plasma-based high-frequency driver that dispenses with a conventional moving diaphragm entirely, ionising air directly to generate sound waves with essentially zero moving mass. Ranges span more compact horn-loaded standmounts suited to smaller rooms up to large-scale, multi-horn reference systems intended for serious listening spaces, with the ion tweeter appearing consistently across the higher tiers of the catalog as the technology that distinguishes Acapella most clearly from other horn-speaker manufacturers.
Who owns it and where it's made
Acapella remains a specialist German manufacturer built directly on the horn-and-ion-tweeter engineering established by founders Winters and Rudolph, with production continuing domestically in Germany rather than being offshored to lower-cost manufacturing regions, consistent with the brand's positioning at the serious end of the high-end loudspeaker market.
The lineup in this catalog
Loudspeakers (13). Prices span roughly 15,000 euros for more compact horn-loaded standmount models to well over 200,000 euros for flagship multi-horn, ion-tweeter-equipped reference systems.
Who it's for
Acapella suits listeners specifically seeking the speed, dynamic ease and low-compression character horn loading is broadly celebrated for, combined with the ion tweeter's uniquely low-mass, essentially inertia-free high-frequency reproduction, rather than buyers looking for a conventional cone-and-dome loudspeaker design philosophy.
