Used Apogee

Apogee Sound was founded in 1985, with the highly-focused goal of manufacturing professional audio equipment to the finest possible professional standards. Beginning with professional loudspeakers for the sound reinforcement market, the company developed a family of 'processor-based' speakers, which offer significant advantages over other brands and types. The unique design integration of Apogee's special electronic processor with the loudspeaker enclosure and driver elements, is the key to the products' exceptional performance and wide acceptance. In 1989 Apogee developed its CORREQT â?¢ equalization system. CORREQT stands for Computer Optimized Room Resonant EQualization Technique, and is an advanced method of integrating a loudspeaker system into a room's acoustical environment, achieving results that surpasses ordinary methods of sound system balancing and equalization. It was used for seven consecutive years on the Grammy Awards and Oscar Awards, in addition to hundreds of other shows and installations. After achieving an excellent reputation and international acclaim with its loudspeaker products, the company expanded its product range into amplifiers for the touring and installation markets. It also added a specialized parametric equalizer to the line with features not found on any competitive models. In 1991 Apogee entered into a business relationship with LucasFilms taking on the task of manufacturing and marketing a LucasFilm THX professional monitoring system for the growing post production market. In 1993 Apogee developed its first studio monitoring system for music recording. Also in 1993, the company developed the world's first professional power amplifier designed from conception to be computer controlled, enabling remote monitoring and operation from a standard PC over simple twisted-pair wire. In 1995, Apogee won the 'Product of The Year' award from TCI magazine for the DA-Series of Digitally Controlled Power Amplifiers. In 1994 Apogee's AE-9 loudspeaker won the TEC Award from Mix Magazine for 'Transducer Product of The Year'. In 1998 Apogee won the EDDY Award for 'Product of the Year' for its new line of Linear Array Loudspeakers called the ALA-Series. In 1999, Apogee Sound International was acquired by Bogen Communications International, Inc. As an independent part of the larger company, Apogee will be able to focus its efforts on better serving its customers with professional audio products that exceed the highest expectations. The company's success in its endeavors is a direct result of the confidence of its clientele in the products and people of Apogee Sound. Consequently, Apogee products have been specified and used on many of the world's most visible events; a partial listing of which is attached. Apogee has long held a global outlook. In its first year it began exporting to Norway, Hong Kong, and Canada. Apogee currently has international distributors in more than 40 countries.
