Our history and milestones timeline

Acoustic Reality is an audio engineering company founded in 1996 - 10 years ago! It is not a profit- or marketing company. Acoustic Reality is selling high-end audio products directly from the factory, where all unnecessary costs to warehouses, wholesalers and retailers have been eliminated. The benefit is unbelievably low prices. Since 1996 Acoustic Reality has developed many ground-breaking audio products and technologies. Here are a few main events:

Year 1996/1999 Acoustic Reality (at that time named MultiTec) developed many new products to Bosch, Ericsson, Siemens, Bang & Olufsen and TC Electronic. Before the new millenium the company was changed to the corporation Acoustic Reality.

Year 1999/2000 Acoustic Reality designed the Tetrahedron speakers and received its first design patent. The patent will continue in different countries until year 2025. More than 300 loudspeakers were shipped within the first year.

Year 2001/2002 Acoustic Reality developed the first commercial available stand-alone high-end amplifier with ICEpower® technology. Now, you find several well respected high-end brands using ICEpower®. We are very proud of that. Acoustic Reality's amplifier was also the first triangle audio exterior design in the world. Today, you see other high-end manufacturers using our triangle design to carry their high-end electronic.

Year 2003/2004 Acoustic Reality invented the next-generation loudspeaker technology. The name of the technology is Q-ART™. The Q-ART™ technology is patented. The design of the first speaker in the world with Q-ART™ technology is patented too. Loudspeakers with Q-ART™ technology let you enjoy a sound pereformance, which is impossible to experience from todays loudspeakers, regardless of technology. The Q-ART™ technology is also the perfect match to the next-generation OLED screen technology. You may search the European Patent Office website and read the patent.

Year 2004/2005 Acoustic Reality developed the worlds first audiophile preamplifier with 400 Mega-Bit digital IEEE1394 FireWire™ input and the world's first integrated high-end audio amplifier with 400 Mega-Bit digital IEEE1394 FireWire™ input. The world's first power amplifier with digital USB 2.0 input was developed at Acoustic Reality too, but is was not released.

Year 2005/2006 In the spring of 2005 Acoustic Reality developed its first Media Center Computer with a form factor equal to the very compact amplifiers. Due to it is possible to experience a sound quality from a PC which is better than any CD player, we are convinced that computer Audio and Video is the future. In the end of year 2005 Acoustic Reality began ship its Audio/Video Media Center and Music Server computers, especially designed to multimedia entertainment for the family room, the home theatre and the audiophile listening room.

Year 2006/2007 Acoustic Reality's main goal is to develop new products that are using Acoustic Reality's patented Q-ART™ technology and to design new ground-breaking multimedia products.

Year 2007/2008 We will continue to redefine hifi. The production and the development of multimedia products will continue. Today, we have a very good software platform.
