Norma Audio is a prestigious Italian high-end audio equipment manufacturer founded in 1987 by Enrico Rossi with the first device being the NS 123 amplifier, later acquired by Opal Electronics in 1991, beginning a seven-year research and development period (1991-1998) focused on understanding how audio equipment can degrade sound and developing methods to avoid it, with the renewed range of Norma products introduced at Milan's TOP AUDIO in 1997. Based in the culturally rich city of Cremona, Italy at Via Persico 26, 26043 Persico Dosimo - the historic home of famous composers like Monteverdi and Ponchielli, and renowned violin makers including Stradivari, Amati, and Guarneri - Norma Audio operates under the leadership of chief designer and engineer Enrico Rossi, who took over complete management of the company in 1991 after initially serving as an external consultant, transforming it into a successful family business that distributes products to 18 countries worldwide. Named after Vincenzo Bellini's tragic lyric opera 'Norma,' regarded as a leading example of bel canto with its famous soprano prayer 'Casta diva,' the company reflects Enrico Rossi's passion for music, particularly the human voice, demonstrated by his ownership of over 30,000 LP records and frequent attendance at opera venues throughout Northern Italy including La Scala, with his design philosophy focused on reproducing the sound of the human voice at its best. Operating under the philosophy 'we don't want to just reproduce... but lead you to that place' of musical emotion, Norma Audio specializes in manufacturing amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, digital sources, and remote controls positioned as 'Top quality Made in Italy audio electronics' with over 20 years of experience in studying and implementing sophisticated audio amplifier technology. The company's cornerstone design philosophy centers on low-noise, fast, and ultra-wide-bandwidth circuitry, with Enrico Rossi's investigations into how circuit topology, component quality, mechanical design, and power supply structure affect one another to achieve optimal sound quality, discovering that amplifiers require much more efficient power supplies than commonly believed to deliver current instantly for authentic music reproduction.
