ESB Audio

The listening environment and soundstage have been the subject of extensive research using the most modern and advanced tools at ESB, just as the quality of the drivers has been a key factor in ESB's research and development. ESB has one of the largest anechoic chambers in the world (it can cut down to 20 Hertz and take measurements up to 3 meters high), reverberation chambers and other environments to simulate different domestic conditions, etc. These are the technical tools that have enabled engineers to measure and analyze ESB loudspeakers for 50 years. But the instruments and computers were never the final solution. The subjective listening of Italians, who have always had a passion for music (whether classical or light music), has developed over many generations a sensitive and refined ear that we can consider to be the true core of the ESB sound.

Italian tradition

Some of the most important milestones in the history of high fidelity audio were set by ESB. On this page you will find some of them: Ideas, insights, fundamental applications of electroacoustic principles and, above all, the passion for high fidelity audio. These are the foundations of our history.

Revolutionary insight

For ESB, building great sounding speakers is not enough. ESB goes beyond that and also optimizes other factors such as the listening environment and the sound image. The UMA, the DSR, the DSR/DSP. These are some of the technological goals that have now been adopted by many other manufacturers.

ESB Car Audio

ESB has transferred all the experience and innovation from 50 years of market leadership in the audio sector into the ESB Car Audio products. The car audio speakers have the same performance as the speakers for home use, but have been developed to fit musically into a vehicle.
Just like live.

8000 - Brought to perfection

The 8000 series can be seen as the direct successor to the 7000 series. The aim was to renew an inherently exceptional speaker series, using the latest technologies and the best materials available today; always with installation versatility in mind. The key to developing this type of in-car system was to take full advantage of its exceptional musicality. With the 8000 series, attention has been paid to every detail, from the choice of materials to the shapes, from the design and finish of the baskets to the ventilation systems of the magnets and coils. It has improved what was considered difficult to improve, and we firmly believe it has laid the foundations for another decade of success.

DIECIMILA - super high-end speaker series

The DIECIMILA series was developed without regard to economic, design and technological limitations in order to achieve absolutely pure music reproduction.
In our research and development laboratory, we have focused on having full control over all speaker characteristics and parameters so that we can build these products without the typical compromises that many high-end speaker manufacturers have to make.
