The Electrocompaniet Story
Electrocompaniet was founded in 1973 in Oslo, Norway, to manufacture an amplifier
designed by Per Abrahamsen. The design were based upon a new approach to transistor
amplifier design developed by Dr. Matti Otala and Jan Lohstro.
It had long been recognised that transistor amplifiers had a characteristic sound that many
audiophiles and music lovers found unnatural.
Dr. Otala and Mr. Lohstro analysed transistor amplifiers to determine what actually created
the “transistor sound” in general transistorised designs. The results of their innovative
design work were incorporated in the first Electrocompaniet design, the legendary 25 watt
amplifier.
This product were the first commercial transistor amplifier to use this new design approach,
and the amplifier was immediately recognised as dramatically more musical sounding than
any other transistor amplifier. The same design philosophy, has been constantly updated by
additional research and development. This philosophy form the basis of all the current
Electrocompaniet Ampliwire and Preampliwire Dual Mono Balanced designs.
Electrocompaniet have always given extensive listening test of all it’s designs the highest
priority. Every product designed by our engineers must meet the varied and exacting
standards of the listening panel, carefully selected to represent a cross section of musical
taste and experience. Electrocompaniet designs go back and forth between the design
laboratory and the listening panel until both engineers and listeners are completely
satisfied, and ensured the that the design has met it’s technical and sonic objectives.
All Electrocompaniet products are handmade by highly skilled technicians, and extensively
tested for maximum performance and reliability.
Final adjustments are made only after an extended period of operation to insure the best
possible performance under conditions similar to those of actual use.
Electrocompaniet Ampliwire and Preampliwire are sold in more than 25 countries , provid-
ing the ultimate listening pleasure to dedicated music lovers world-wide.
