Fashion and performance can coexist. Nearly 15 years we are proving this. Meet Sputnik 12-2: full range coaxial loudspeaker for multipurpose use. It will perform perfect in the club and in your home.With 12” woofer and 1” compression driver and total power of 250 W RMS. Sputnik 12-2 is a real workhorse which will never get tired.
#1 WHY OVAL ENCLOSURE?
Shape of the enclosure has a vital role in the performance of the loudspeaker. Moving of speakers causes sound waves with very complex mixture in terms of frequency, amplitude, phase etc. If the shape is rectangular with parallel walls at certain frequencies two bad things may happen: the walls will start to vibrate due to interference and they will act as additional speakers, but without control. So the general sound will be unpredictable mix of the sound caused by the speakers and enclosure’s walls. Second: standing waves will occur inside the cabinet which will raise enormously certain frequencies and will defeat other. So, why most of the loudspeakers have a shape like kitchen cabinets? Because it’s easy and cheap to do and many loudspeakers manufacturers do not manufacture the enclosures indeed but over source them to cabinets manufacturers. We decided to go to the difficult way: we chose a shape which prevents both a.m. phenomenon. This shape is oval.
#2 WHY ALUMINIUM?
# 3 WHY COAXIALLY MOUNTED SPEAKERS?
#4 IS THE ENCLOSURE REALLY BULLETPROOF?
Sputnik 12-2 is intended for applications where high SPL and deep bass is required. We made extremely solid aircraft aluminium casting with 10 mm thick walls and of course: it is oval. This leads to non distorted interference free sound which is delivered from 12” mid/woofer and 1” horn loaded compression driver. The sensitivity is high: 98 dB @ 1W/1m which makes Sputnik 12-2 to be driven easily from wide range of amplifiers. We designed Sputnik 12-2 to be hanged from the ceiling with changeable tilt which allows uniform and precise room coverage .
IN SHORT: Oval shape, special hanging and bulletproof aluminium enclosure as well as high SPL coaxial driver makes Sputnik 12-2 ideal choice for any house or venue where loud and linear sound is necessary.
The main goal we had when designed Sputnik 12-2 is obvious: to zoom up the scale. There are many applications where big power and high SPL is needed as well as good bass without additional subwoofer. And it is not necessary this to be ugly black box. This is how Sputnik 12-2 appeared.

"After 10 years in the biz, team EBTB are clearly more than an industrial design atelier with high style. They've also got their sonic priorities straight. That's the sort of end to apartheid we want. Fashion and performance can and should coexist.” Srajan Ebaen – publisher, 6moons.com
If you ask about any detail: Why you did it in this way? You will receive clear and accurate reply.
Wanna try?
OK, Let’s go!
We manufacture all our products in own modern factory, located near Varna.
All of the design and most of the manufacturing works are done here.
We do not order our products somewhere else and put only our brand name on them. Instead we invested in building, machinery, know-how and people and build almost everything in house.
This allows us to keep each step under full control. We are absolutely convinced in the quality of each part or material we use, as well as in the highest quality work.
