For people who love music

With music, as with so much else in life, details
matter. A brush on a cymbal. The scrape of a
plectrum on a guitar string. The atmosphere in
the room at the moment the performance took
place. It’s details like these that make a recording
come alive. Why does it matter? Because, for
some of us, it’s not enough just to hear music.
We want to feel it.

Shared passion

Music is important. You know it, we know it.
And if you care about music as much as we do,
you’ll want to share that passion with others.
We’ve created a place where some of the
world’s leading artists can share music in the
way they intended it to be heard. A place where
people who love music can come for ideas and
inspiration. A society of sound.

True sound

For 50 years, we’ve been dedicated to helping
listeners get closer to the music they love. Our
aim is neither to add nor take away from music.
Instead, we want to simply reveal it. To bring you
as close as possible to the authentic sound of
the original performance. We call it true sound.
And you can hear it in every product we make.

50 years of excellence

We’ve come a long way since 1966. Over half
a century, we’ve pushed at the boundaries of
acoustic engineering, won industry awards
and played a role in the history of recorded
music. But there are always more challenges
to overcome. New developments in the pipeline.
What does the future of speaker design hold?
For now, as we celebrate our 50th year, let’s
just say there’s a lot to look forward to.

Music systems

Our Hi-Fi speakers are the culmination of half
a century of audio innovation. From our most
advanced models to our entry-level series, these
speakers set new standards for acoustic realism,
revealing depth and detail in your music you
never knew existed. It’s the reason you’ll find
them in leading recording studios, as well as the
homes of serious audio fans.

Nautilus
Sound and vision

What do you get when you give some of the
world’s most visionary audio engineers an
open brief to create, as near as possible, the
perfect loudspeaker? The answer is Nautilus ,
a loudspeaker that defied convention and rewrote
the rules of acoustic design. It’s an icon that
continues to shape our ideas to this day.
