Acoustic Energy was originally founded in West London on April 4th 1987. Initially known as “Eldonfield Limited”, the name was changed on the 25th June 1987 and the Acoustic Energy brand was officially born. The very first product to be designed and produced was the legendary and world-renowned loudspeaker, the AE1 (the current active version is shown above). This speaker set new industry standards in audio performance from a compact enclosure which has been the basis of the company’s product ethos to this day.

After a period of foreign ownership, the Spring of 2017 saw Acoustic Energy become wholly British owned once again. As music lovers, the four Directors, (two of which are speaker designers) have been involved with the company for over 20 years and collectively combine over 100 years experience and knowledge in the audio industry.

Over the company’s history, Acoustic Energy has won hundreds of awards and accolades from the world’s Hi-Fi press. Back in 1988 Stereophile magazine concluded the AE1s ‘redefined the art of miniature speaker design’ whilst the Financial Times described the BT2 Bluetooth speaker as ‘a rugged yet refined Range Rover of a speaker’ and more recently What Hi-Fi? awarded our AE1 Active speakers Best Active speaker 2018. These and many other endorsements and critical acclaim from journalists around the world help to secure our status as one of the most highly regarded British brands in the audio industry and we welcome the return of this dynamic brand to Canada.
