At Goldmund, we strive to lead in the creation, development and manufacture of the industry’s most advanced technologies for audio and home-theater systems. The guiding principle at Goldmund is to produce a precise sound with the least possible loss of quality through the different stages crossed by the signal. Goldmund will never adopt a technology before it is sufficiently developed to satisfy the high quality standards we set.
