A/D/S

In 1966, Dr. Godehard Guenther, a gifted physicist with a passion for music, moved to the United States to work for NASA. Disappointed with the hi-fi systems available, he imported a Braun hi-fi system from Germany for personal use, eventually gaining the sole distribution rights for Braun hi-fi in the United States. By 1974, Dr. Guenther had moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and began assembling and selling audio products with components from Braun. His insatiable curiosity and artistic sensibility soon led him to design and manufacture his own line of audio equipment, giving birth to the a/d/s/ (Analog and Digital Systems) brand.

Retiring in 1993, Dr. Guenther facilitated a merger with the Canadian high-end audio company Museatex, leading to the formation of ADS Technologies. This new entity refocused its research and development activities and assembled a team of design engineers led by Ed Meitner. In 1994, ADS Technologies expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of Orion Industries, a company known for its cutting-edge electronic production facilities and audio sound competition products. This acquisition allowed a/d/s/, Orion, and Museatex to share engineering and manufacturing efficiencies while maintaining their distinct market identities.

The early 2000s brought another transformation when the company was acquired by Directed Electronics Inc. Dr. Guenther passed away in 2014, but his legacy lives on in the a/d/s/ brand, which continues to marry high technology with high fidelity, turning each listening experience into an auditory masterpiece.
