Angstrom Acoustic Laboratories was founded in 1978 with the sole purpose of designing and producing high quality loudspeakers. Since its inception, Angstrom has utilized the Canadian Research Council’s acoustic testing facilities in Ottawa. This made Angstrom one of the first loudspeaker companies in North America to use scientific basis for the design and development of loudspeakers. The National Research Council’s achievements in the field of audio are well known, as the principles developed there have resulted in many advances in loudspeaker design.
