The complete series is developed by the well know Danish acoustics engineer and designer,Jens Schonemann-Paul.
Mr.Schonemann-Paul has a Master of Science in audio and acoustics from the Technical University of Denmark
and 20 years experience in all categories of the loudspeaker industry. He has worked with a number of renowned
companies including Bang & Olufsen and Dynaudio among others developing a vast number of very top and leading products. Many of Mr.Schonemann-Paul’s products have set new standards in the consumer as well as the automotive market – and not least the professional recording and broadcast business.
Jens Schonemann-Paul and our R&D team have spent tremendous efforts and resources in designing and tuning this DT-Air series to perfection in a more than two year long process. The loudspeaker driver units are custom designed in close cooperation with our suppliers and all models have finally been fine-tuned by ear to fulfil any requirements in the tough and exacting recording industry.
