WBT – Precision Born of Passion

Since 1985, WBT has stood for high-quality connectors in the high-end audio sector. Founded by Wolfgang B. Thörner, the brand emerged from a commitment to address a common weak point in many HiFi systems: the quality of the connections. What began with precision-engineered RCA plugs, sockets, banana plugs, and binding posts has evolved over four decades into a brand that seamlessly combines technical innovation, audiophile passion, and uncompromising manufacturing quality. Milestones such as the CCS (Circular Contact System), the nextgen™ principle, the company’s in-house plastics injection molding facility in Essen, advanced high-performance polymers, and WBT-PlasmaProtect™ technology all demonstrate the company’s unwavering commitment to innovation. In 2021, Wolfgang B. Thörner was awarded the German Innovation Prize for PlasmaProtect™. Furthermore, the VDE certification of the nextgen™ loudspeaker connectors—along with the recognition of WBT’s facility as a VDE-certified manufacturing site—underscores the company’s high technical standards: maximum safety, precise workmanship, and audiophile quality at the very highest level. Today, WBT looks back on 40 years of development, research, and passion. At the same time, the company remains firmly focused on the future—driven by new product ideas, innovative manufacturing processes, and a vision to continually perfect the signal flow within the high-end audio realm.
