Who we are
Waterfall Audio is a French company, born from a passion for music and beautiful “objects”, a creative mind and a solid team established in 1996 by Cedric Aubriot, the current CEO. From the start, Waterfall positions itself in a “niche” segment of the market with its innovating concept of a speaker made of glass. Marketing and sales of the first products start in November 1999 following 4 years of intensive research and development. Waterfall Audio is closely associated to Atohm, a French company founded by Thierry Comte, a well renowned french manufacturer of exceptional drivers. Atohm is located near Besançon, the heart of high precision engineering in France.
Using very sophisticated manufacturing processes for glass cutting with precision near 100 Microns we have mastered the art of glass assembly. Sold in France through a network of specialist dealers, our speakers are present in every continent, and in more than 50 countries. In the course of the development of its patented technologies (Acoustic Damping Tube and Heatstream) Waterfall has successfully received the support of 5 different national programs for Innovation (BPI, OSEO, ANVAR).

Philosophy and Product range conception
Traditionally, most manufacturers propose product ranges organized in various price segments. In each range there is usually shelf speakers, small, medium and large ones with price levels going upwards. So in the end, quality is often proportional to the price. Our approach is different because we design our range according to the various integration needs and sizes of rooms, and our speakers complement each other. Whether you decide on a floor standing speaker, one of our “on wall” series or the “in-wall” collection, and whether it is for Stereo, audio video or multi room we will have a “tailored” solution.
Our sound is pure and precise and this is part of our “DNA”, so even our smallest speaker will of course be less performing in the low frequencies and will be less dynamic but the richness of tones will be the same. All our speakers are built with drivers that integrate the same “recipe” and technologies for optimum performance. This could easily be compared to the Menu of a very exclusive restaurant, the quality of the food does not vary with the price, it is the number of various dishes that determine the menu price. This design philosophy makes it possible to have harmoniously matched audio systems by keeping to a budget if needed but without sacrificing quality, only the acoustic pressure varies.
