Theory is new thinking

No, really. That’s not marketing jargon or hyperbole, they mean it matter-of-factly.

From conception, in order to bring any real value to an already saturated market, Theory needed to be different. They also knew that they could service the premium end of the market like no other company could, not only in terms of performance, but also, design. So if they could offer something truly different, and fill the void that exists at the premium end of the market, they could make an impact; to actually offer something new and valuable.

And thus, in 2018 Theory was born.

Theory Founder

Founder intends to disrupt the status-quo

Founded by Paul Hales, a consumer and professional audio industry veteran with more decades of experience than he’d care to admit, Theory intends to disrupt the status-quo.

By marrying product development principles from consumer and professional audio segments, combined with extensive application of advanced materials and digital signal processing, we have created a small but immensely capable family of products that will consistently provide the highest performance available for premium installations.

Don’t let the size of the family fool you; there is almost no small-to-medium installed sound application that the Theory ecosystem can’t tackle - and do so with jaw-dropping performance and refreshing system simplicity.

 

Theory Drivers

Better Transducers, Superior Performance and Reliability

Every Theory loudspeaker driver is engineered from the ground up for the specific intended application. By taking control of transducer development, we are able to apply greater attention to detail, employ advanced materials and optimize each design in ways that would not be possible with “off-the-shelf” components.

Theory full-range speakers employ low-frequency diaphragms made from specially-treated carbon fiber which eliminates resonances in the passband and adds increased weather resistance. The sound is clean, clear and detailed, and the diaphragms are nearly indestructible.

 

Theory In-Wall Speakers

High-Output In-Wall Loudspeaker System

The iw25 fully-enclosed in-wall loudspeaker is the remarkable sb25 model, with a mechanical enclosure to adapt it to in-wall mounting. All of the sb25’s performance attributes remain: robust, wide-bandwidth and dynamic sound with uncanny accuracy and naturalness. The ability of the iw25 to fill large spaces with full-bodied, thrilling sound is shocking. Finally big sound in background and foreground applications does not have ugly, or even visible!

 

Theory Soundbars

theory Audio: The Soundbar Reimagined

Theory soundbars are unlike any others and are capable of surprising output, clarity and dynamics. Unlike most so-called “soundbars” available today, the sound emanating from a Theory soundbar is big and open, and detached from the soundbar itself. You simply experience big theatrical sound that envelopes you with astonishingly clear and dynamic sound.

 

Theory subwoofers

High Output Architectural Subwoofer

The iws12-9 install subwoofer employs a high-power, 1400W, 4” voice-coil long-throw driver in a compact enclosure that is easy to place within any commercial environment. The bass it provides belies intuition, extending deeper than seems possible, with tight, tuneful expression. It’s the perfect complement to Theory Professional full range speakers to create a truly astonishing high-energy environment.
