12 Years and Counting
Evolution is not an easy process for anyone. It involves a great deal of reflection and exploration, but, ultimately, what is most important is facing challenges head-on, together as a team. Looking back on the past 12 months, and by extension, the past 12 years, there is one driving force that has never failed to deliver - you, the community.
We wish to thank each and every one of you sincerely for all the amazing moments we shared together during 2023. Thank you for attending the shows we participate at, coming up to our stand and hanging out with us, and just plain having a good time. Thank you for the heartwarming online messages that we often share among ourselves and rejoice. Thank you for the overwhelming support provided along this incredible journey, as none of our accomplishments would have been possible without you.
Achievements come in different shapes: fruitful collaborations with artists and content creators we love, well organized and successful tradeshows, or perhaps the positively embraced release of a new product. They also translate into a multitude of esteemed awards that our products have received throughout 2023.
Top Picks, Crowd Cheers
From our lineup, the standout performers and top community picks were the 109 PRO and our newest addition to the high-end roster, the Empyrean II. One of the biggest and most cherished surprises of the year was the 109 PRO getting formally recognized as one of the best products of 2023 by an organization of seasoned experts in everything that has to do with electronics. The Empyrean II unveiled itself to the world later during the year in November, but it did not go unnoticed during this short amount of time.
