Braque

The speaker cube is constructed from CNC-machined plywood, chosen for its rigidity, tonal warmth, and acoustic integrity. It’s finished in a deep matte black oil, applied in two precise layers to ensure both durability and visual depth.

The paired steel cube, weighing 25 kg, is hand-welded and brushed in Sweden, serving as a sculptural counterweight that anchors the system both physically and visually. Together, the two volumes form a study in symmetry - a minimal yet expressive composition.

To eliminate unwanted resonance and vibration, Braque incorporates Sorbothane isolation pads between the speaker cube and steel base. This ensures a focused, stable soundstage even at high volumes.

For driver technology, we partnered with Celestion, a UK-based manufacturer with over 100 years of heritage in coaxial speaker design. Their FTX0820 driver delivers exceptional clarity, coherence, and point-source accuracy — ideal for Braque’s stereo layout.

At Nocs Lab, we believe a speaker shouldn’t shape the music - it should reveal it.

With Braque, we approached tuning like sculpture: not adding, but uncovering. By listening closely to the artist’s intent, we shape the sound through subtraction, balance, and form — ensuring the message comes through intact.

The Braque system is powered by Celestion coaxial drivers, delivering a point-source image with exceptional coherence and depth. Tuning is done in-house, in collaboration with our artist and engineer network, focusing on emotion, texture, and detail.

The dual-cube design plays an acoustic role too - elevating the drivers to ideal listening height, while vibration isolation and premium materials ensure the experience is clean, stable, and immersive.

This is Nocs Studio Sound - shaped by the artist, revealed through structure.

All Nocs products are developed at in Sweden - where we handle everything from design and mechanical engineering to tuning and sound testing.

With Braque, we wanted full control over every part of the process. That’s why we’ve moved manufacturing back to Europe. The steel cube is made by hand in Sweden, and the speaker unit is assembled at a long-running factory in Estonia.

Keeping production closer allows us to work more directly with our partners, improve quality, and make better long-term decisions.

We’re proud to say Braque is made here, in Europe - with care and intention behind every detail.
