Founder n’est pas un haut-parleur ordinaire. Chaque élément, petit ou grand, a été scruté dans les moindres détails. Chaque composant a été soigneusement étudié, conçu et fabriqué, exclusivement pour Founder. De nouvelles technologies brevetées ont été développées pour la plateforme acoustique. La nouvelle plate-forme d'armoire n'est pas seulement un design époustouflant, sa forme unique et son contreventement structurel intégré offrent des performances acoustiques qui ne peuvent être égalées par les boîtes carrées traditionnelles. En ne laissant aucun élément sans réponse, Founder's est bien plus que la somme de ses parties. Au cours de notre processus exhaustif de recherche, de conception et d’ingénierie, nous avons examiné de près et attentivement la manière dont les enceintes interagissent avec leur environnement. L’intérieur des maisons contemporaines présente des défis de conception qui sont devenus encore plus importants au cours de la dernière décennie. La pierre, le verre et le bois sont devenus des matériaux de choix et les concepts ouverts dominent. Le design du Founder a évolué avec cette tendance et est parfaitement adapté pour offrir ses performances maximales dans des pièces qui défieraient les enceintes de conception traditionnelle. Que vous écoutiez des films et de la musique dans un espace d'écoute plus traditionnel ou que votre maison se trouve dans les pages d'Architectural Digest, vous pouvez être sûr que Founder sonnera aussi bien qu'il en a l'air.
