Build your own Lowther Acousta 90
The Acousta 90 is a compact speaker designed for novice home builders looking to embark on their journey into the world of Lowther's more intricate cabinet designs. This bookshelf speaker was first introduced in the 1990s. The simplicity makes it an ideal project for learning the art of veneering, and once you've completed the build, you'll have a pair of drive units ready for your next, more complex project. The Acousta 90 is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in building Lowther speakers, and once you begin, you'll find yourself hooked on the process.
If cutting the wood and its complex angles is going to be an issue we have a kit-pack option for you. Our kit-packs are boxed and delivered to your door with every part pre-cut to precision.
If you are worried about your ability to effectively seal the cabinet then we recommend the Lowther EX3 as a drive unit of choice.
Material and finishing guidance
We recommend building your speaker out of high-grade MDF or for better acoustic properties, baltic birch plywood. Choose MDF if you are not planning on veneering your speaker and painting it instead. To get a nice glossy finish when painting we recommend using a water based pigmented lacquer with an 80% sheen level.

We ask for your information so we can support you as much as possible in your Lowther speaker build. We know you might have more questions (e.g. best drive unit for your amplifier) and we can answer these when we are in contact with you.
