Your first pair, or your fourth
Paper cones, a soft dome, and cabinets that arrive finished. That leaves the part that matters: mounting the drivers, wiring the crossover and fitting the damping. SB Acoustics publish the drawings for free, and our advice is free too.

Kit · Gema
A 1970s floorstander, with today’s drivers
Danesian Audio’s tribute to the big floorstanders of the 1970s. A 12 inch paper woofer, a 4 inch midrange in its own sealed chamber and a textile dome, over a slot port tuned to 28 Hz. The cabinets arrive finished in walnut veneer.

Owner review · Sasandu
The last pair. Probably.
Paulo came from the small Danish speaker with the big bass. He calls Sasandu “very capable end game speakers.” We have said that about our own pairs before. He does have 100 hours on his.

Three ranges, and someone who knows all three
Our two founders could not afford hi-fi, so they learned to build it. Today we are the official distributor of SB Acoustics and SB Audience for Singapore and East & West Malaysia, and we carry Hypex Class D amplification.
Stereo or home theatre, passive or active: tell us what you have in mind and we will help you plan it. The advice is free.
What we carry
Two of these come off the same factory floor in Indonesia. The third is Dutch. All three are here for the same reason: they are built by the people who designed them, and every figure they publish can be checked.
SB Acoustics
Hi-fi drivers and the kits built from them. Drawn by Danesian Audio in Denmark, built at Sinar Baja Electric in Surabaya. Beryllium, TeXtreme and textile domes; Egyptian Papyrus, Norex paper and spread-tow carbon cones. The Satori line sits at the top of it.
SB Audience
The professional arm of the same Surabaya works: Bianco, Rosso and Nero, plus compression drivers and the horns to mount them on. Built for stage, install and touring, by a plant with four decades of contract manufacturing behind it.
Hypex
Class D amplification from Groningen, built in Hypex’s own Malaysian factory. FusionAmp plate amplifiers with a DSP crossover on board, Nilai500 kits, and UcD modules — the other half of an active build.
Who is SB Acoustics?
Danesian Audio is a Danish design house full of industry veterans. They designed some of the most admired loudspeaker drivers on the market, usually sold under another company’s name.
Sinar Baja Electric builds them in Indonesia — casting the baskets, winding the voice coils and spraying the cabinets in the same works. The March 2026 price list quotes drivers, cabinets, grilles and crossovers ex-works from that one address.
That is SB Acoustics. Danesian Audio designs the driver; Sinar Baja Electric makes every part of it.
Two brands come out of that factory: SB Acoustics for hi-fi and SB Audience for pro audio. We are the official distributor for both in Singapore and East & West Malaysia. Hypex is separate: a Dutch amplifier company with its own factory in Malaysia. We carry it because an active loudspeaker needs both halves, the driver and the amplifier.
Why SB Acoustics?
Because you can buy the driver, the cabinet, the crossover or the finished speaker — and we will tell you which one you actually need.
The people who design them
Danesian Audio is a Danish design house formed by engineers who left Scan-Speak, and it is now part of the same group as SB Acoustics. Same drawing board, minus the markup.
Egyptian Papyrus cones. Beryllium domes. TeXtreme carbon fibre. Honeycomb, ceramic and Norex paper. Neodymium motors with aluminium shorting rings — the material is in the manufacturer's own description of every model.
The Satori line alone runs to more than sixty models: tweeters in textile ring dome, beryllium, TeXtreme and air-motion form, midwoofers in Papyrus or TeXtreme, woofers up to 13½ inches. Browse the driver catalogue.
Cabinets finished at the factory
Every SB kit comes with cabinets finished at the factory — six satin and piano gloss colours across the Satori kits, walnut veneer on the Kinnara and the Gema.
Six finishes on the Sasandu, Rinjani and Ara cabinets: satin or high gloss in white and black, high gloss in red and orange. Magnetic grilles come with them.
Danish design
The design is minimalist and distinctly Danish: every part has a job.
Clean lines, and no extra decoration.
These speakers look their best with the grilles off, which is where most owners leave them.
Not sure which kit?
Tell us your room and what you listen to. We know all three ranges, and we will tell you which kit fits.
Cabinet design
The cabinet is drawn as carefully as the crossover.
Angled baffles for time alignment. Non-parallel internal walls to kill standing waves. Wedge-shaped rear chambers to reduce reflections.
The cabinet drawings ship with the kit, down to the cut pattern for the damping material.
Pre-assembled crossovers
Assembled, tested, and wired with connectors that only fit one way.
You cannot wire the bass to the tweeter.
We know because someone tried.
No soldering and no guesswork. You plug it in.
Every number, published
Every driver has a published datasheet — Fs, Qts, Vas, Bl, Le, Sd, Mms, sensitivity, recommended box volumes. We hold the March 2026 catalogue for both brands.
Ask before you buy and we will send you the sheet. Ask three years later and it is the same model, built to the same published parameters.
Speaker kits
Designed in Denmark, built in Indonesia, assembled by you. Cabinets, crossovers and drivers arrive as a set — the crossovers already built and tested.
Sasandu
The flagship of the range: three-way, with a beryllium tweeter and Egyptian Papyrus cones top to bottom.
Rinjani Be
A 2.5-way floorstander with dual Papyrus midwoofers and a beryllium tweeter. It does the hard work, and it is kinder to your budget.
Ara TeXtreme®
The smallest speaker with the most advanced cone material SB makes. Fits on a shelf. Fills a room.
Ara Be
Two-way bookshelf: a 6½″ Satori Papyrus midwoofer under a 29 mm beryllium dome, in the same cabinet finishes as the floorstanders.
That is our view. Read what a customer says.
Gema
Retro curves and modern drivers. SB’s tribute to classic loudspeaker design, and it measures well.
Customer reviews
We're biased. Obviously. So here's what the people who actually paid us have to say.
