Nearfield Speaker
A compact two-way monitor engineered for the first metre.
Tikpal Audio
Speakers first, then amplification and streaming — each piece designed alone, verified together, and documented in public.

Starting with
Speakers
Three stand-mount and floor-standing designs, engineered around measured directivity.

In development
Amplification
An integrated amplifier voiced for our speakers — and any passive pair.
→
Expanding the system
Streaming
An open-standards network source: AirPlay, UPnP/DLNA, NAS, USB and radio.

Our long-term direction
All-in-One
The whole signal chain in one enclosure. A research program, not yet a product.

Speakers
Nearfield for the first metre, Reference for the listening chair, Extended for rooms that want the full range.
A compact two-way monitor engineered for the first metre.
Our flagship stand-mount two-way with a measured waveguide front.
Reference One architecture extended downward with a dedicated bass unit.
Amplifiers
In DevelopmentAmp One is voiced with our speakers, but its specification targets are defined against generic loads — it should do justice to whatever you already own.
Power
Roughly 2 × 100 W into 8 Ω — sized for real transients, not datasheets.
Inputs
Line, USB-DAC, S/PDIF; a phono stage on the bench.
DSP
Per-speaker presets for placement — with a hard analogue bypass.
Thermal
Fan-less extruded chassis, verified over hours at rated power.
Noise
A measured noise floor low enough for sensitive speakers.
Matching
Voiced with our speakers; specified against generic loads.
Compatibility
Drives any passive speaker — matching us is a bonus, not a lock-in.
Streamers
In DevelopmentStream One plays what you own and what you broadcast — open standards, no ecosystem lock-in.
The system
Known gain structure
Source output, amplifier sensitivity and speaker efficiency are specified against each other — volume just works.
Measured presets
Per-speaker, per-placement DSP presets prepared from lab data and published with it.
Nothing locked in
Every piece works standalone. The system is an upgrade path, not a cage.
The Audio Lab
Every design claim here traces to a record in the lab — and every dataset carries its evidence level.
Where this is going
The All-in-One is our long-term direction — a research program today, with no dates and nothing to sell. Follow it if the engineering itself is the interesting part for you.
