ZVOX Audio was founded in 2003 by industry veterans Tom Hannaher (Best Buy, Advent, Apple Computer, Cambridge SoundWorks) and George Samuels (Ohm, EPI, Genesis, Cambridge SoundWorks). The ZVOX VP of Product Development is Jarl Salmela (ADS, MB Quart, Cambridge SoundWorks), one of the best amplified speaker designers (if not the best) on the planet. Our goal is to make high-quality, high-performance sound systems that are easy to use. To achieve that goal, we have "reinvented" the TV sound system several times. In 2004 we introduced the ZVOX 315, a system CNET called the first commercially successful sound bar. In 2008 we came out with the ZVOX 550 -- the world's first SoundBase style home theater system. In 2012, responding to a growing crisis of incomprehensible TV dialogue, we introduced our AccuVoice feature -- which uses hearing aid technology to make voices clear, even at low volumes. Being an innovator has allowed ZVOX to survive and grow in a highly, highly competitive field. Virtually every other company making products like ours is a huge, billion dollar enterprise. And virtually every one of those companies copies our ideas (or at least tries to copy our ideas) on a regular basis. We are the little company that "inspires" the big companies. We enjoy our David vs. Goliath position in the marketplace. It lets us have fun and try new things without the approval of some Wall Street investment group. We may not drive Bentleys, but we have a lot of fun.
