- 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).
