Nocs Braque Speaker debuts as a two-cube active loudspeaker system built around a plywood speaker module and a heavy steel base module. The speaker unit contains dual Celestion FTX0820 coaxial drivers powered by two Hypex FA122 amplifier modules that supply separate power channels for left and right output.
The exterior is finished in matte black oil and paired with Sorbothane isolation pads positioned between the speaker and the base to limit vibration transfer. The steel cube weighs approximately twenty-five kilograms and provides a stable platform for the upper unit. Each piece is hand-finished and assembled in Estonia before final inspection.
The system supports analog RCA, XLR, digital coaxial, optical and AES EBU inputs for connection to turntables, streamers and desktop audio sources. Frequency response and crossover settings are managed through the internal amplifier hardware. The model is produced in numbered editions and is positioned as a compact high-fidelity system.
