RONALD JAKLITSCH

CEO, product development and design, go-to-guy for all technical questions

He says about himself, “I am what I am“ and doesn’t like to be pinned down to one area.

He studied automation engineering and applies his knowledge and expertise as product designer, engineer, media designer and audio technician. He adores functional, minimalist design and loves working with unconventional materials. Apart from constructing ball speakers he likes building bicyles best.

Our Story

For a long time, Ronald Jaklitsch searches for loudspeakers that create exactly the sound that he hears in his head. His search is futile. Thus he decides to invent them himself.

In the beginning was the sphere

The spherical shape is the basis, but he can’t find the perfect material. In 2008, inspired by the porcelain artist Anne Wolf, he comes up with the idea to develop speakers made from porcelain.

Craftsmanship made in Vienna

When his invention is ready to go into production, in 2011 Ronald Jaklitsch and Xiane Kangela found mo° sound and sell the ball speakers throughout Europe. Ronni continuously refines his original concept; our current Ball Speaker Classic series is the fourth generation of the original design.

The mo° sound store

In 2012 mo° sound also finds a home. In the lively and inspiring Siebenstern neighbourhood in Vienna’s 7th district the mo° sound store provides space for presentations and communication. And quite a few parties.

Premium: Ball Speaker from Augarten Porcelain

2015 is an exiting year: the Ball Speakers Augarten are presented to the public. It makes us really happy to create these unique ball speakers together with the traditional Viennese company Augarten. They were the only European porcelain manufacture brave enough to embark on this extremely complex project. After over a year of preparations it is now possible to produce porcelain casings in this size (23 cm), precise and seamless. The result is a premium speaker that sounds absolutely brilliant and whose look and feel create a listening experience that delights all the senses.
Thus, our assortment includes
Ball Speakers Classic, Superior and Augarten
