Out Of The Box – Coppice Audio

Our ‘Out of the Box’ Series features companies who might slip through the net from time to time. Companies with something more than hot air, who make loudspeakers but make them with a rare passion that drives them and shapes the products they design and build.

When did you start the company?

Coppice Audio was founded in 2019 by two friends who wanted to diversify from their normal carpentry based work, Ryan is a talented music producer and Mal always had an interest in Hi-Fi. The result has been an extremely rewarding journey into high end speakers.

Is making a loudspeaker an ‘art’ or a ‘science’?

Making speakers is both an Art and a Science. We start with a concept then use science to work out the technical aspects. After making a prototype it is back to the Art of critical listening to fine tune.

What makes your loudspeakers different to other brands?

Through multiple listening tests we found that some woods sound more musical than others. We use locally-sourced solid hardwoods for our cabinets. Wood is a natural product that can move and shrink and it took us a couple of years to come up with a method to overcome this issue.

What challenges do you face in making and selling loudspeakers?

Our biggest challenge is getting our brand known, we have dedicated any spare funds into doing as many shows as possible as you really need to hear the products, this has paid off as we are building a reputation for good sound and good quality as well as getting feedback from the hundreds of people who have seen us at the shows so we know for sure that we have great products and built Coppice Audio on a solid foundation.

Where can consumers hear about your products and find out more?
