- Amina
  
  Amina was founded in 1999, with an exciting idea. Turning a lightweight flat surface into a vibrational sound-board structure, essentially turning it into a natural musical instrument. We wanted to push the boundaries, completely turning the conventional loudspeaker on its head, moving away from pistonic devices, to focus on something a little different: Distributed Mode Loudspeakers (DML).

- Nexgentec
  
  Founded in 1995, nexgentec was launched because of a lack of interfaces existing, that were suitable to allow the high-end marine and residential markets, to fully work with Dante audio over IP solutions. The MCP4K, the very first product launched by nexgentec, was warmly welcomed, and soon designated ‘the last missing link’, taking audio over IP now truly to the next level.
