An audio platform that evolves with you

Start with a Keystone System, add Bedrocks anytime, with the peace of mind of long term support.

Easy to start

A Keystone System is perfect for most listening environments. Enjoy accurate and musical listening in a compact form factor. Everything you need is included, we'll even provide stands if you don't have any.

Simple to expand

Expand your soundstage and bass impact by adding a pair of Bedrock Speakers and Ochto amplifiers. The Keystones sit on top of the Bedrocks to present as a floor stander loudspeaker.

Forever serviceable

Every component in a Keystone or Bedrock system is designed for long term supportability. Our drivers, amplifiers and digital components were chosen to be easily sourced, with established product roadmaps.

What we have been working on…

Our mission was to create a high performance audio platform built on the best of digital and analogue. In every design decision, we looked towards the future, building on the best of the past, unencumbered by legacy or historical practices.

We are proud to present the Keystone, Bedrock, Ochto and Cardia components that when combined provide a beautifully natural listening experience – driven by best of breed drivers, amplifiers, digital signal processing and digital to analogue converters.

About 3SB Audio

The idea to design and build a loudspeaker was initially discussed in the 3SB (“Three Sad Bastards”) Podcast series where we irreverently considered what would be involved in designing and building a (good) loudspeaker.

Light hearted conversation soon transformed into  obsession as we started looking deeper into what would be involved.

The Keystone and Bedrock Systems are based on and connected via Audio Visual Bridging (AVB).

Sad Bastard #2

“Listened to the Mozart track on the (REDACTED). The Keystones win.
Hands down.
It’s beautiful on the (REDACTED) but there’s a richness to the cello/bass that’s just missing compared the the Keystones.”
