DESIGN & MANUFACTURING

A MUSICAL DESIGN APPROACH

At Ninety-nine Audio we are committed to:

  • *Demonstrating genuine innovation through aesthetic, acoustic and total-system design
  • *Making great sound accessible to a wider audience

The world doesn’t need another pro-audio brand, but it could do with some fresh thinking! Ninety-nine Audio develops sound systems with end-users in mind. By end-users we mean the audience.

Audio systems designed for professional use typically sound harsh and fatiguing.
This is often down to the industry-wide adoption of compression drivers to transmit high frequencies.
Compression drivers have certain advantages such as high efficiency and SPL (Sound Pressure Level) but this is at the expense of fidelity and musicality.

In preference to compression drivers, Ninety-nine Audio has developed proprietary high frequency horns.

This translates to a sound balance you would expect from high-end end home audio or studio monitoring solutions.

MATERIAL & COMPONENT SELECTION

We work with a small number of carefully chosen suppliers. Then smart design allows us to choose the fewest components to use across our products. This simplified sourcing strategy allows us to stock deep and reduce lead times.

We only source wood from certified sustainable and legal sources. Our paint provides the right level of protection with the lowest possible environmental impact.

We prefer to work with natural or recycled materials wherever possible. Our Cabinates are milled from solid wood and birch plywood.
