sonoro Signature Line Begins with ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature
With the new ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature, sonoro enters a new chapter in its HiFi journey. Designed in collaboration with loudspeaker expert Karl-Heinz Fink, this elegant three-way system aims to deliver genuine high-end performance at an attainable price. The result, according to the manufacturer, is a loudspeaker that embodies both precision engineering and timeless design.
- The new sonoro ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature brings German engineering and Karl-Heinz Fink’s acoustic expertise together in a refined three-way floorstanding loudspeaker. Elegant, powerful, and musically precise – available from late 2025 at € 2.998,- per pair.
Earlier in 2025, the German manufacturer sonoro audio GmbH announced a strategic shift: moving from lifestyle-focused all-in-one systems toward the high-end HiFi segment. This evolution is embodied in the new Signature Line, developed with industry veterans Karl-Heinz Fink and Rainer Finck. Following its debut at the High End 2025 show, the first model of this new era is now ready for market – the sonoro ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature, a floorstanding three-way loudspeaker crafted for precision, musicality, and enduring aesthetic appeal.

Three-Way Engineering for Maximum Precision
With the ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature, sonoro takes a decisive step into true three-way technology. Two 5,25-inch woofers and a midrange driver – each using a Kevlar-reinforced paper-bamboo composite diaphragm – work in harmony with an Air Motion Transformer tweeter. This configuration is said to provide wide dispersion and silky-smooth treble reproduction. A meticulously tuned LKR fourth-order crossover ensures linear response and minimal distortion across the entire frequency range.
Sound and Acoustic Tuning
The loudspeaker’s acoustic performance reflects the signature of Karl-Heinz Fink, known for his meticulous system integration. The slightly inclined baffle maintains correct phase alignment, while the rear aerodynamically optimised bass reflex port supports deep and controlled low-frequency reproduction. According to the manufacturer, this design delivers an expansive soundstage with exceptional imaging precision and dynamic capability – characteristics typically reserved for considerably higher price ranges.
Design and Craftsmanship
True to sonoro’s design DNA, the ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature combines clarity of form with refined materials. The cabinet, made from high-density fibreboard (HDF), is hand-sanded and finished in a durable matte lacquer. Rounded edges, flush-mounted drivers, and a newly developed aluminium faceplate for the AMT tweeter lend the speaker an elegant yet technical aesthetic that blends easily into modern interiors.
The sonoro Signature Line
The Signature Line defines sonoro’s new premium segment. Alongside the ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature loudspeakers, the lineup will include the MAESTRO Quantum Signature streaming amplifier and the PLATINUM Signature turntable. Together, these components aim to offer a cohesive high-end system “Made in Germany,” merging functional design with true audiophile engineering.
Price and Availability
The sonoro ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature is available for pre-order through authorised retailers and via the sonoro online store. Two finishes are offered: Matte Black – Black and Matte White – Silver, each priced at € 2.998,- per pair. Deliveries are expected to begin by the end of November 2025.
Conclusion
With the ORCHESTRA Shaped Signature, sonoro demonstrates its commitment to moving beyond lifestyle HiFi into the realm of serious audio engineering. The collaboration with Karl-Heinz Fink brings credibility and acoustic refinement, while the brand’s unmistakable design language ensures elegance and accessibility. For listeners seeking refined German craftsmanship and a distinctly musical three-way performance, this marks a highly promising beginning for the Signature Line.
