About 4-Acoustic – German Engineering. Premium Components. Global Manufacturing.
For more than 30 years, 4-Acoustic has been developing professional loudspeaker systems for live events, touring productions, DJs, musicians, clubs, restaurants, hotels and permanent installations.
Founded by electronics engineer Detlef Risse, 4-Acoustic combines German loudspeaker engineering with carefully selected premium components from leading European manufacturers. Today, 4-Acoustic products are used worldwide in festivals, concert venues, rental companies and commercial installations where reliability and sound quality are essential.
Every product is engineered in Germany and developed for demanding professional applications — from compact powered speakers to large-scale line array systems for audiences of more than 50,000 people.
40 Years of Pro Audio
The story of 4-Acoustic began more than four decades ago with a passion for electronics and live music. During his school years, founder Detlef Risse designed his first amplifiers, electronic crossovers and loudspeaker cabinets for local bands.
That passion evolved into professional education in electronics, years of practical experience in live sound reinforcement and eventually the foundation of 4-Acoustic Pro Audio Germany.
Today, Detlef Risse focuses almost exclusively on loudspeaker development, acoustic design, DSP optimization and product innovation. His experience from thousands of live events continues to shape every new generation of 4-Acoustic loudspeaker systems.
Designed in Germany. Manufactured in Our Own Factory. Quality Controlled by 4-Acoustic.
Since 2016, 4-Acoustic has been manufacturing its products in its own factory, Guangzhou Inline Audio Equipment Co., Ltd., located in Guangzhou, China.
Establishing our own manufacturing facility was a strategic decision to ensure complete control over production quality, technology and long-term product consistency. Today, every 4-Acoustic loudspeaker is manufactured under our own management and responsibility.
Unlike brands that rely on third-party OEM manufacturers, 4-Acoustic operates its own production facility with dedicated manufacturing processes, quality standards and engineering specifications developed by our team.
Our factory is exclusively focused on producing 4-Acoustic products. Cabinet manufacturing, electronics assembly, loudspeaker production, DSP integration, acoustic testing and final quality inspection are all carried out according to 4-Acoustic standards before products are shipped worldwide.
German Engineering — Designed in Germany
Every 4-Acoustic loudspeaker begins with engineering — not manufacturing.
Our development team in Germany is responsible for:
- acoustic simulation,
- cabinet design,
- waveguide development,
- crossover topology,
- FIR and DSP programming,
- mechanical construction,
- system measurements,
- long-term product testing.
Products are optimized for linear frequency response, consistent directivity and reliable operation under demanding live conditions.
