On the picture you see a crane lifting a 70 kg/154 Lbs. trafo ready for packaging. It is going in to one of our amplifiers and at the end; make sure a happy customer get's an even bigger smile.

Chassis building to the extreme
The must be a strong chassis to support it all. Our top model amplifier are build from massive aluminium. Then grinded down to make the profiles. We do not settle for a "glued on profile"!
Inside you find a 6 mm massive cobber shield. This sandwitch of alu and cobber, insures that even at 1000W long time power, the amplifier keept it's cool.
The beautiful chassis work comes from Aluparts ApS Denmark

THE PAST
Danish Audio Design International arise a day I sat and wondered about all the money I had spent in a lifetime on High-end; and yet I wasn’t satisfied. It was not peanuts; it was close to a million USD over relatively few years to be honest.
I complained that the business was not ashamed of the price they asked for the so called high-end. Why were my years not satisfied? The difference between what I heard live and when I got back home was simply huge. When I looked inside the products, it became obvious that I paid a lot for the brands and less for the “sound”.
To be said in all fairness, the technology today gives us a lot more opportunities to get closer to a one-to-one sound reproduction, but still it takes a lot to get there.
However, my friends were tired of hearing me complaining. More than one told me straight to my face; STOP WHINING AND DO SOMETHING.
This was how Danish Audio Design International got born in 2017.
- I have a drive like TGW train when it comes to sound, and I do not understand the words "cannot be done". I can be like an elephant in a glass store, that is why our products are extremely strong and solid build, not the only reason, but you know…
I owe a huge THANK YOU to the team of suppliers, friends, and colleagues around me. Without you I could not have done it. I am sincerely proud of you all!
Last but not least; A great thank you goes out to our customers. Because of you we can continue the journey towards honest sound, and that is what it is all about!
