VISION
Nothing but immersive
sound and silence.
Is it possible to reproduce an audio signal with such transparency that you end up hearing nothing but the pure spacious structure of the original recording? Without the interference of low frequency room resonances, enclosure resonances, ambient noise or distortion? For years now, Gerd Köck has been electrified by these questions.
Gerd has always led the vision of a purely analog audio system, from the amplifier to the loudspeakers, and equalized in an anechoic chamber – and which, for that exact reason, can deliver the perfect sound experience.
Its extremely high level of efficiency can enable high-volume listening levels to be reliably attained even with moderate amplifier power – with no audible Doppler distortion.
Having invested an incredible amount of time and energy into this dream of his, even he is blown away by the result – and audio professionals are equally impressed.
PERSONAL
I’m on fire with my ideas
– until perfection.
I've been driven by the desire to make a completely new holistic approach a reality. The challenge involved more than just thinking through every single detail of this idea. I wanted to continuously improve it in practice too, and ultimately perfect it with new manufacturing processes.
This is how I managed to improve audio playback to such an extent that you’ll hardly believe your ears.

– owner and CEO of Audio Manufaktur Köck – is a qualified electronics engineer, product developer and passionate puzzle-solver. In developing his audio system, he drew on his many years of practical experience in electronics development and production optimization. He realized that longevity and sound quality are significantly influenced by the design of the devices.
EXPERTISE
« The Art Deco Acoustics Audio System is visually impressive thanks to its aerodynamic design, which is based primarily on acoustic considerations.
Before the music starts, one thing is clear: You can't hear a thing! Even when standing directly next to the loudspeakers, there is no audible noise, chirping or humming. Despite a listening volume that completely and powerfully fills a 34 m² room, there is absolute silence.
When playing back familiar music and our own productions, the system reproduces complex musical signals accurately and with impulse fidelity, right down to the lowest frequencies. Details of a mix are always audible, and the naturalness of the reproduction quickly reveals the technical processing of frequency and dynamics. The phantom sound sources are easy to locate and unambiguous. The reproduction of spatiality is authentic. The loudspeakers neither embellish nor gloss over the weaknesses of a mix.
These qualities make the Art Deco Acoustics Audio System one of the best I have ever heard. »
