Mutual Core


Ceramic Loudspeakers

A Shared Pulse

At the heart of Mutual Core lies the idea that two distinct forms can exist in perfect harmony. One is a sculpted ceramic horn, its surface reminiscent of a natural landscape shaped by time and elemental forces. The other is a wooden cabinet, grounded and robust, carrying the pulse of deep frequencies. Though separate in structure, they merge into a single living entity, converging their strengths to create a sound that transcends mere technology.

Mutual Core channels the tension and unity of opposites.
You feel simultaneously grounded and uplifted.

Earthen Overtones: The Pure Highs of Clay

We chose ceramic not just for its beauty, but for its acoustic clarity. Its natural density and stiffness help suppress unwanted resonance, allowing sound to travel uncolored and unclouded. Unlike plastic or thin metals, ceramic stays still — letting the sound move freely.

The horn form, slipcast in stoneware, acts as a natural amplifier. It shapes and projects high frequencies with warmth, direction, and intimacy — without the sharpness that sometimes comes from synthetic materials. The result is precise yet organic, detailed yet soft on the ear.

Grounded in Craft

Each horn is hand-poured, trimmed, and fired in our studio — a slow, deliberate process that makes each one unique. The cabinets are crafted in partnership with Rowan Woodwork, where meticulous attention goes into every detail, from the fine circular open‑grain wood ring framing the woofer to the thoughtfully matched grain patterns across each panel.


Even our passive crossover is its own exercise in craftsmanship — designed, laid out, and hand‑soldered on a custom PCB in‑house, using premium components for exacting performance. Every part of the speaker is considered for presence — not just how it sounds, but how it feels in the room. From the quiet curve of the horn to the warmth of the wood grain, Mutual Core is made to be lived with.

When combined, these two cores speak in unison: the ceramic treble and midrange float above the reassuring thrum of the woofer.


Ceramic Signatures

Every Mutual Core speaker is shaped with the same attention we bring to our sculptural ceramic work. Some horns are subtly hand-carved after casting — tracing quiet patterns that recall erosion, sediment, or flowing water. Others are finished with layered glazes that catch the light and shift with the surface, giving each piece its own quiet character.
The result is something more than a speaker. These are objects made to be lived with — each one slightly different, each one carrying the marks of the hands that made it. They are functional, yes — but also personal, expressive, and deeply material.

Mutual Core is passive and analog. No built-in amplification.
No digital processing. Just honest, pure sound.
