The Collection

Four speakers.
One philosophy.

From the Waterloo Micro bookshelf to the Wellington Tower, every model is voiced in the same Austin studio, by the same ears, with the same uncompromising standards.

Engineering Foundation

Every JPORTER speaker begins with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from UT Austin (acoustics, sensors, semiconductor fabrication), refined through 30 years of hands-on speaker design and anechoic chamber work. Precision disguised as pleasure.

65"
Folded Transmission Line

Our tower speakers house a 65-inch transmission line folded five times into a compact cabinet: tuned to 16Hz, fed by dual opposed subwoofers that force-cancel distortion before a single note reaches your ear.

The JPORTER Approach

Built where
music lives:
Austin, Texas

JPORTER Studios was founded in 2020 on a conviction shaped by 30 years of obsession: loudspeakers should serve music, not the other way around. Jeremy Porter followed the same academic path as Paul Klipsch: studying Electrical Engineering at UT Austin, building speakers from age 12, refining designs in the university's anechoic chamber.

"The bass just falls off a cliff; there's no bottom to it."

Every design decision (no two cabinet panels sharing the same dimensions, a 65-inch folded transmission line, dual opposed subwoofers, 600W Hypex NCORE amplification) exists because it makes the music better. Not because it photographs well or measures impressively on paper.

01
Acoustic Honesty

We measure everything and trust our ears to adjudicate. Specs serve the sound, never the reverse.

02
No Compromises, Full Stop

Every component, every joint, every crossover slope is chosen for one reason: pristine sound. Not to hit a price point. Not to protect a margin. Purpose-built for the music, from the inside out.

03
Cabinet as Instrument

Our enclosures are acoustically inert structures with functional elegance: no unnecessary mass, no untreated resonance.

04
Austin Built, Globally Voiced
