Source of the Sound - Serifs and Whiskey

The Source of the Sound celebrates the warm, unmistakable character at the heart of classic analog audio. Centered around a glowing vacuum tube and framed by bold radiating lines, the design captures the energy, warmth, and craftsmanship that make the listening experience feel alive.

Original artwork by Serifs and Whiskey.

Part of our Studio Series, the artwork is infused directly into our proprietary high-density cork through dye sublimation, then finished with a protective UV seal. The result is a smooth, detailed surface that brings the artwork to life while preserving the natural character and performance of the cork.
