All About Lorantz Audio
Lorantz Audio is a specialist Australian loudspeaker manufacturer established 1976. Loudspeaker design is an intriguing engineering discipline in which art plays a role nearly equal to science. We have been able to meet demanding concepts and customer demands through research, the use of optimum materials and carefully controlled construction and manufacturing techniques. We attribute our success to our high level of engineering skills and cooperative close working relationship both with our customers, research facilities and key industry personnel.
In an industry where the majority of audio components are made in Asia our success is attributed to our ability to locally manufacture product using Australian technology (often quite different to our competitors) to make articulate, rugged reliable pro-audio loudspeakers. For superior performance, better sound per dollar and local Australian backup service get the Australian edge on the competition make your next purchase an Australian made Lorantz loudspeaker for the following reasons.
At Lorantz we have embraced state of art CNC technology together with hand crafted and hand assembled components. Hand crafted assembly permit detailed inspection at each point of manufacture often not possible in automated production. Lorantz loudspeakers are not the cheapest in the world however they are made with great care, a passion to produce the highest quality product but at the same time very competitively priced, you will be pleasantly surprised if you compare price performance longevity ratio. Decades of manufacturing experience and development has produced a comprehensive competitive and outstanding product range manufactured to our best ability.
History Of Lorantz
Lorantz Audio Services was born in 1975, starting with many speaker components and speaker tooling purchased from the closure of Plessey Rola Co. Lorantz Audio Services commenced producing 6”, 8” 10” and 12” loudspeaker. Read more.
The product range diversified to meet customer requirements, and the business was incorporated in 1990. In 1995 Hazel and Michail Barabasz of Lorantz were awarded the "Service to the Industry Award" by the Melbourne division of Audio Engineering Society for the development and manufacture of loudspeaker technology of the highest quality for a period of over 30 years.
Hazel and Michail Barabasz recipients of the AES Services to Audio Industry award 1995.
In 1995 Lorantz introduced CNC machining to achieve consistent high quality control standards in manufacturing and also assist in the manufacture of critical tooling and product development.
We attribute our success to our high technical skills diverse abilities and our ability to meet customer requirements. We recognize the critical aspects of design, and manufacture. By necessity we therefore manufacture the majority of our loudspeaker components ie cones, suspensions, voice-coils, front-plates, rear-plates pole-pieces and speaker tools are produced in-house. Our in-house manufacturing skills are a vital ingredient in our success and offer numerous benefits, the principal advantages being:
|
- Better understanding
- Superior control
- Intimate knowledge of associated problems
- Attention to detail
- Component optimization and their tradeoffs
- Ability to meet customer requirements without compromise
- Repeatable high quality production
- Opportunity to conduct research
This knowledge and understanding ultimately leads to the acceptance of superior materials and technologies which enhance product performance, culminating in product superiority.

We also recognize the importance of employing third party products/technology where they offer superior performance. An important facet in manufacture is to know your limitations, this then becomes strength. The ability to recognize and embrace product refinement is our strength, this enables us to maintain market share against strong competition.
In addition we perform a 100% QC of all loudspeakers.
