Simco Audio presents SimcoV12 - a high-efficiency horn-loaded two-way, designed by Shakuto Audio, where studio precision meets live energy. The carefully tuned 12" woofer reaches with authority from 36 Hz, while the solid-wood horn delivers natural attack, articulate mids, and effortless scale. 96 dB sensitivity (1 W/1 m), 36–20 kHz response, 8 Ω. Hand-built from Baltic birch with top-tier components.

Mid-century inspired—
minimalism, brutalism, honest materials.

Vitalic-12 is a modern, high-efficiency 2-way that delivers horn dynamics without the room-overrun. A fast 12-inch woofer hands off to a precision waveguide for effortless scale, impact, and low listening fatigue—at everyday volumes and well beyond.

Why it feels alive:

High efficiency, low compression. Big, unforced dynamics and microdetail at low volume; clean headroom when you push it.

---

Seamless hand-off. Crossover is tuned by measurement and ear for a relaxed, coherent midband—voices sit forward, never sharp.

---

Real bass, compact footprint. A tuned enclosure gives agile, tuneful low end—music, not boom.

What you’ll hear:

Center-locked vocals with body and air

---

Drum transients that start/stop on a dime

---

Brass/strings with bite and shimmer, minus the glare

---

A wide, stable stage that stays intact off-axis

Key Features:

CNC-machined, solid-birch horn block bonded into the cabinet (maximum rigidity, minimal resonance)

---

≈96 dB sensitivity for vivid dynamics with modest power

---

12″ pro woofer: carbon-fiber–impregnated paper cone and cloth surround.

---

Horn-loaded HF in a custom waveguide for control and dynamics

---

Hand-built Baltic birch cabinet; internal bracing; low-diffraction edges

---

Premium crossover parts; robust binding posts

---

Optional Active Vitalic-12 with integrated DSP/amps (plug-and-play, preset voicings)

Monolithic Wooden Horn

A horn carved from a large, solid billet of Baltic birch plywood. 
The mass and stiffness provide an exceptionally stable acoustic structure.



Musical properties & advantages:

Minimal coloration. Dense wood damps parasitic vibration—cleaner mids, natural tone.

---

Greater intelligibility. Attacks and decays resolve without glassiness; more micro-detail at low levels.

---

Soundstage & focus. Tighter localization; stage width and depth remain stable.

---

Low listening fatigue. No spiky resonances or ringing—easy to listen for hours.

---

Dynamics with control. The structure doesn’t “breathe”: drums hit hard and bass stays tight, even on peaks.

Finishes & Options:

Cabinet: Baltic birch — raw/natural ply (clear or matte oil) or custom real-wood veneer (Walnut, Oak, bespoke)

---

Baffle: Black silk or full Noir

---

Configuration: Passive or Active; matching plinths available

Your system, your way:

Passive or Active. Run Vitalic-12 with your favorite amp, or choose the integrated DSP/amp option for true plug-and-play (preset voicings and room-friendly trims).

---

Amplifier-friendly. High sensitivity works beautifully with quality tubes or low-to-medium-power solid-state.

---

Rooms: excels in small-to-medium spaces; scales with placement in larger rooms
