It was the love of music and the thriving search to find smart and new ideas for the transportation of band equipment that brought the team of don’t panic to focus on case and speaker production.

For more than 20 years we have been building innovative cases for individual use as well as case-by-case loudspeaker housing in our production facility in Hamburg.

Quality and individual problem solving are our main priorities. We are looking for strong and convincing technology combined with an attractive design. Our products are “made in Germany” and therefore feature excellent workmanship with high-quality materials and a sustainable production process.

The trademark of don’t panic is innovation. As a medium-sized company we are flexible and take it as our topmost priority to respond quickly to the wishes of our customers.

The concept for our BenkCube speaker system and its presentation at the Prolight & Sound Fair came from musicians, audio engineers, and DJs alike. We rethought the idea of indirect acoustic irradiation, eliminated mistakes and modernized the speakers. Our new BenkCube speakers feature a 360° hemispherical sound emission. The patented diffuser driver system offers the audience an excellent sound experience and a smooth access to the heart of the sound.

Since our introduction of the BenkCube speaker system to the market four years ago it has established an undirected acoustic irradiation which turned out to be an enrichment and addition to other existing speaker products.

“The sound comes out of a box and people stand in front of it.”

So far so good! But is this really the last word in sound systems?

“No” says Hamburg-based ‘don´t panic die casemanufaktur’, who once again utilise the tried and tested principle of indirect sound emission for loudspeakers. By placing a diffuser in front of the chassis, the sound is distributed evenly in space, instead of in concentrated bundles that depend on speaker-positioning. The shortcomings of earlier attempts have been overcome and the result is the BenkCube range of loudspeakers – initially dismissed as being a bit weird and wonderful, but now rapidly gaining in popularity.

You can deploy BenkCube speakers in situations where standard direct emission sound systems fail to make the grade – for evenly distributed, efficient and high-quality sound in halls of any size, even those with difficult acoustics; as a compact, high-performance, small PA and disco kit with really natural sound; as support for front-of-stage sound systems at a distance from the stage; as monitors for musicians; for voice reproduction in readings and presentations… Whether in the background or in your face, the BenkCube speaker’s clear and evenly distributed sound is sure to impress. 

Listening to BenkCube products has been compared in the press to “taking a sound shower” – they make spaces vibrate, creating a three-dimensional sound experience and allowing free movement around the room. BenkCube frees up music and speech from the directional limitations of standard speakers. And their emission characteristics make it easy to comply with noise control regulations and to handle any type of sound system requirement with a high degree of efficiency.

At the heart of the BenkCube sound system lie the satellite speakers, fitted with a European-made high-quality coaxial chassis and the professional, patented diffuser that is made in Germany. The range also includes matching subwoofer, full-range and amplified speaker solutions. Given their performance potential the compact size and ease of handling of BenkCube speakers comes as a surprise and they can be integrated into existing sound systems with the minimum of fuss. And if you have any special requirements regarding design and technology, Hamburg-based manufacturer ‘don´t panic die casemanufaktur’ is always happy to listen.
