FinkTeam stands for uncompromising loudspeaker engineering – designed and crafted in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Our speakers are not mass-produced items, but finely tuned technical masterpieces, manufactured with sustainable craftsmanship.
The origins of FinkTeam lie in the work of Fink Audio-Consulting, one of Europe’s leading acoustic development companies. For over three decades, Fink Audio-Consulting has been creating speaker components and complete systems for international brands – always driven by the goal not only to measure sound but to make it emotionally tangible.
Our loudspeakers are developed entirely in-house – from the drive units to the crossover to the cabinet. The cabinets themselves are sustainably handcrafted in Germany. By keeping every step of the manufacturing process in-house, we maintain full quality control at all times. This comprehensive approach ensures that our high standards of quality are consistently met. Engineered using the latest simulation and measurement technologies, fine-tuned by experienced ears – for a musical experience that moves rather than merely impresses.
FinkTeam itself came about rather by chance – from a prototype that was never intended for commercial use. But when Ken Ishiwata, brand ambassador for Marantz, heard this early loudspeaker, he immediately recognised its potential. He requested a finished version for his demonstrations. What began as an experiment became the WM-3, presented at the High End show in Munich in 2016. The response was overwhelming – and FinkTeam was born.
The refined production model, the WM-4, was launched in 2017 – a technical statement of extraordinary dynamics and detail. This was followed by the Borg in 2018, a more living room-friendly, musical all-rounder featuring a 10-inch driver, and in 2020, the more compact KIM, which – despite its smaller size – makes no compromise in precision or sonic performance.
