Suave Sound System

"Godzilla"

“Music is not only characterized by notes and melodies but also by the finesse of the musician’s playing and the subtle nuances of the different sounds. The musical experience is not only defined by the quality of the artistic proposal but also by the sound system's ability to transcribe it. It’s the main interface between the artists and the audience”

This is where it all started! Tired of badly tuned and ear hurting sound systems, Guillaume followed a dream and challenged Marc Henry, Pascal BROSSARD and Paul THOMAS to design and build the first transportable Hi-Fi sound system built for high capacity dancefloors & listening times. 

 

The objective : Broadcast music at a high volume with a quality equal to that of an audiophile installation, usually found in the homes of certain privileged individuals, for the greatest number. Create an experience where you can let yourself be carried away by the music, feel its power, hear its finesse and still turn around to talk to your neighbor, barely raising your voice.

To get this musical experience, the system must be capable of reproducing the entire sound spectrum with outstanding precision, very low saturation and great respect for the sound’s dynamics.


In order to achieve this, we decided to go against the grain of current P.A speaker designs by creating much larger ones capable of exploiting the capabilities of small but very high-end loudspeakers

 

The result is nothing short of amazing! A gigantic, high-fidelity, and super-efficient 4-way horn system coupled with subwoofers.

Every part of the chain has been tailor made with care by renowned craftmen from the audiophile world, from the design to the enclosure, from the loudspeakers to the amps.
