Rockport Technologies began as Payor Acoustics Inc. in 1984 with the design of a compact, satellite/subwoofer loudspeaker system. Long ago we recognized that the two areas of greatest loss in an analog reproduction chain are where the transduction occurs from mechanical to electrical energy at the front end, and then back to mechanical (acoustical) energy at the loudspeaker. Consequently, these two transduction sites provide the greatest opportunity for improvement in an audio system, and have been the areas where we have focused our attention for more than 25 years.
From Rockport Technologies founder and chief designer Andy Payor: “I was privileged to have a love for music instilled in me at an early age by my parents. The profound effect that music has in the way we think and feel, and to evoke memories, has always inspired me.”
Each one of our loudspeakers is built using the finest components available, and all Rockport Technologies loudspeakers, from the Mira II to the Arrakis are assembled using the same proven techniques. One of the many benefits of limited production is that we are not under pressure to manufacture huge quantities of product to cover excessive overhead, or meet arbitrary marketing goals. In fact, we build each loudspeaker as if it were going into our own home.
There is a great degree of similarity in the design and execution of our different loudspeaker models. We have integrated our best efforts into each system that we build, and the primary difference between models is their deep bass extension and ultimate sound pressure capabilities. All of these models exhibit a marked family resemblance, but are suited for different size rooms and listening levels. The exquisite build quality and stunning performance of every Rockport Technologies product, from our most ambitious to our most affordable, is evidence of our commitment to excellence.
