What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- ProAc speakers are known for their natural and musical sound reproduction, avoiding harshness and fatigue even over extended listening sessions.
- ProAc's commitment to designing their own drivers, often partnering with local or specialized manufacturers to meet their exact specifications, ensuring optimal integration and performance.
- Bottom-ported designs offer flexibility in room placement, mitigating common boundary issues and contributing to a more predictable and coherent bass response, even in smaller spaces.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "The results are staggeringly good with such cohesion between the drivers that they sound more like a pair of ESL panels rather than traditional transducers, this is partly down to the excellent ribbon tweeter that really does sound rather special, well when in the hands of Stewart Tyler who has achieved incredible results with these K6s." (https://www.thespeakershacks.co.uk/2019/09/proac-k6-speakers-review.html)
- "The speed of the bass and the dynamics produced on this track are captured perfectly with great transients, the Kevlar and Polymer weaved bass drivers are just so fast and produce an enormous amount of energy which is harnessed into a punchy yet refined powerful sound... the music is all perfectly balanced with the bass being so taught and sounding so right." (https://soundorg.com/news/raves-for-proac-k6-speakers)
- "These midsize speakers played big, casting a soundstage that was as wide as I could position them without obscuring the center image, as deep as the upstream equipment and recording allowed, and -- surprising again -- as high as speakers that were half again as tall. The K6es were those rare speakers that walked the line between truth and beauty with a steady gait, achieving both without leaning one way or the other." (https://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/proacresponsek6.htm)
- "There was an almost eerie amount of texture to the music and oodles of emotional engagement. Switching to Shostakovich's Twenty-four Preludes /Ashkenazy where the sheer transient ability, not to mention speed of attack and decay, was remarkable." (https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/proac-response-d2r-the-joy-of-ribbons)
- "The bass/mid unit just sings, and the integration with the ribbon projects the music outside the speaker boundaries. In a word, it is seamless...It's picture painting in sound, and the K1 just glides through it with ease and great delicacy." (https://soundorg.com/news/hifi-reviews-proac-new-k1-speakers)

Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
Our ribbon tweeters, especially the coaxial versions used in our Coax and Master Line models, deliver exceptional resolution and spatial imaging. What’s particularly noteworthy is that we have been developing these tweeters entirely in-house for over 40 years – and we still manufacture them by hand at our facility in Horgen, Switzerland. The quality is, in our view, outstanding – not only acoustically, but also in terms of technical precision and minimal unit-to-unit variance.
Our aluminum enclosures, combined with internal damping and sandwich construction, ensure distortion-free performance – even at high volumes – and are a unique feature both acoustically and visually.
What's your approach to customer support?
We generally recommend that customers first reach out to their dealer or national distributor for any questions or issues. These partners are trained and authorized to assist quickly and effectively. In more complex cases – or when customers contact us directly – we are, of course, committed to providing personal and dedicated support.
Additionally, we regularly invite customers to visit our headquarters in Horgen. During these visits – which include a tour of our production and personal consultation – very close relationships have developed, and in some cases, even real friendships have formed. We take pride in maintaining close and reliable contact, even after the purchase.
What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?
- “Queen Mary” – Francine Thirteen: For dynamics and tight bass, excellent at high volume.
- “Liberty” – Anette Askvik: For atmospheric depth and spaciousness.
- “The Headless Horseman” – Bobby Bass: Great for vocals and evaluating seamless transitions between multi-way drivers.
What other products pair best with yours?
We experience excellent synergy with HiFi Rose electronics – both sonically and aesthetically. Setups with T+A or Cambridge Audio also pair beautifully with our speakers. And of course, there are no limits at the high end: just recently, I heard a large Burmester and McIntosh system driving our Coax 811 at a dealer – the result was absolutely stunning.
