Alta Audio LLC is a premier American high-end audio speaker manufacturer founded in 2013 by Michael Levy, who brings over 30 years of experience designing and building audiophile-grade speakers and previously helped bring CD, DVD, HDTV, and Surround Sound technologies to market, headquartered at 139 Southdown Road, Huntington, NY 11743. Born from Levy's regular meetings with respected producers, DJs, and high-end audio journalists who lamented the lack of speakers that could convey the experience of 'sitting 10th row center in an acoustically sound concert hall or dead center in an old school jazz club,' Alta Audio emerged from countless nights spent at New York City's finest performance spaces, carefully analyzing live music voicing to create an intentionally limited series of loudspeakers that replicate the performing artist's vision and the full sonic and emotional experience of live performance. The company's philosophy centers on designing speakers that provide exceptional reproduction of live and in-studio recordings, utilizing proprietary technologies including DampHard cabinet technology to minimize distortion, custom-designed ribbon tweeters for superior high-frequency clarity, and patent-pending XTL (Extended Transmission Line) technology for enhanced bass response and overall acoustic performance. Alta Audio's product lineup includes the Statement Series featuring the Alyssa compact loudspeakers (14.5″H x 9.6″W x 14.25″D, designed to deliver full-size speaker performance in compact dimensions), the Alec floorstanding speakers ($10,000 per pair, 40.5″H with tapered design and sloping side panels), and the flagship Adam three-way floorstanding speakers, alongside the Reference Series including the Titanium Hestia II and Reference Tower speakers, as well as their newest four-way flagship model, the Aphrodite, all featuring ribbon tweeters and advanced acoustic engineering. Distinguished by manufacturing nearly all speakers in the United States at their Bridgeport, Connecticut facility (with some lower-cost models produced in China), Alta Audio maintains exclusivity through a carefully curated dealer network of just 30 authorized dealers across the United States and international distribution in the UK (Sound Design Distribution), Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, and other countries, ensuring premium customer service and proper speaker demonstration environments. Led by founder and president Michael Levy, who established the company as a NY-state corporation committed to transformative audio experiences through unparalleled sound reproduction, innovative design, and meticulous craftsmanship, Alta Audio continues advancing loudspeaker technology through proprietary innovations while maintaining the artisanal approach to speaker building that defines their boutique manufacturing philosophy, with each model designed to deliver the sonic accuracy and musicality that audiophiles demand for reproducing the intimate detail and emotional connection of live musical performance in home listening environments.
