Origin Acoustics is more than a brand; it's a narrative that unfolds in a Riverside, California. It's not just about the meticulous obsession with perfection or the love of great sound; it's about people who, since the very beginning, have led the industry with innovation and experience. Its story is woven with the threads of human dedication, where each product carries the essence of those who believe in creating an auditory experience that transcends expectations.

IN THE HEARTBEAT OF THE SOUND

It all goes back to 1976 when the duo- of Ken Humphries and Ed Haase's shared passion for music orchestrated the founding notes of Origin Acoustics. This was no ordinary tale of business; it was an ode to the transformative power of music and a shared mission to embed this enchantment into the very tapestry of people's lives.

The inception took root in Riverside, California, as these two visionaries opened a modest stereo store driven by a boundless commitment to share the magic of music and sound. Their timing was fortunate, aligning with a transformative wave in the audio industry's history. Within this wave, they discerned an opportunity to elevate the quality of music experienced within the sanctuaries of homes. The resoundingly positive response from the local community became the resolute validation of their endeavour, a nod to the extraordinary potential they had unearthed.

As the symphony of the '80s unfolded, Ken and Ed embarked on a groundbreaking venture, birthing a wall-mounted loudspeaker that transcended industry conventions and fundamentally altered its very visage. The allure of music was emancipated, no longer confined to a single room; it resonated through every nook and cranny of a home. The creation of in-wall speakers became a magnum opus, not just meeting demand but orchestrating a living, breathing soundtrack for the lives of those nestled within.

The echoes of customer demand reverberated far beyond local confines, propelling Ken and Ed into a league of their own. From 1985 to 1994, their craftsmanship manifested in creating millions of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers for industry titans, cementing their status as the premier architects of sonic experiences.

In the harmonious year of 1994, a new chapter unfolded with the launch of their self-branded speakers, SpeakerCraft®. This era witnessed a meteoric rise, fueled by the indomitable spirit of Jeremy Burkhardt—a legend in his own right. Over a decade, SpeakerCraft® dominated the custom installation business, etching unparalleled technical development and innovation standards into the industry's annals. However, the fire within Jeremy remained ablaze even as the company underwent transformative changes. A reunion with his original partners, Ken and Ed, sparked discussions that birthed a new vision—Origin Acoustics. In 2014, this vision materialized into a resounding fanfare as a new line of speakers redefined the category. Origin Acoustics, born from the blank canvas of possibilities and decades of collective expertise, swiftly ascended to become the second most popular brand in its class, a distinction lauded in the 2019 CEPro Brand Analysis.

Far from its culmination, the journey unfolds as Origin grows, evolves, and innovates, relentlessly birthing the most advanced sonic solutions. As we peer into the future, where technologies shape new realities, the unwavering focus remains as crystal clear as the initial notes of inception—It's all about the music. Origin Acoustics stands as a brand and a testament to the enduring power of human connection through sound. This symphony transcends time and resonates in the very heartbeats of those who experience it.
