Bluesound

Bluesound is a Canadian wireless multi-room audio technology company launched in 2013 as the youngest of three premium audio brands within the Lenbrook Group of Companies, alongside NAD Electronics and PSB Speakers, with headquarters in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. Founded by the Lenbrook Group established in 1978 by David S. Simmonds and currently led by President and CEO Gordon A. Simmonds, Bluesound emerged from over a decade of internal technology planning and brand development to introduce a new wireless generation to high-fidelity sound, transitioning from an initial code name 'Sovi' to become Lenbrook's largest brand. Created by an alliance of designers, engineers, and audiophiles dedicated to delivering wireless, digitally perfect high-fidelity audio, Bluesound operates under the philosophy that they are 'not a computer company masquerading as an audio company, but made by audiophiles for audiophiles' with the mission to create innovative wireless audio products utilizing the most advanced, state-of-the-art digital technology for true-to-life music reproduction. The company specializes in wireless multi-room speakers and components for music streaming, supporting multiple digital audio formats including hi-res 24-bit/192kHz audio and MQA, with the ability to connect up to 64 audio players via home WiFi networks for instant access to millions of songs from streaming services, internet radio, and personal music libraries. Operating from Lenbrook's 633 Granite Court headquarters in Pickering, Ontario with over 200 team members across key geographies, Bluesound leverages the BluOS software platform to deliver studio-master-quality sound across their product lineup, with technology now used across all Lenbrook product lines and representing the company's wireless competencies extension. Key leadership includes Gordon A. Simmonds as President and CEO, with notable team members like Matt Simmonds as Bluesound Product Manager, Graeme Harrison as VP and General Manager of Bluesound Professional (founded in 2019), and Kevin Walker managing Marketing Operations and Shared Services for 8+ years, while John Banks played a crucial role in advocating for the separate brand strategy to provide 'freedom in distribution.' The company maintains active social media presence through Instagram (@bluesoundhifi with 19K followers), Facebook (18,160 likes), and LinkedIn (203 followers for main brand, 1,164 for Bluesound Professional), emphasizing their identity as 'HiFi for a wireless generation' and 'The original in hi-res multi-room streaming' while serving over 80 markets globally through Lenbrook's five wholly owned subsidiaries including Lenbrook International, Lenbrook Canada Solutions, Lenbrook Americas, Lenbrook Asia, and Lenbrook Media Group, with active career opportunities and HR contact at [email protected].
