About ESB Audio

The history of ESB Audio goes back to 1972 when this Italian brand was officially founded. ESB Audio is among the most famous loudspeaker manufacturers of the second half of the 20th century and during its rich history they launched many innovative technologies and numerous high-end home audio products that achieved huge worldwide success. Building on this experience, ESB engineers began research in 1984 focused on optimizing sound for the automotive environment and two years later started producing their first car speakers. Due to great success, ESB increasingly focused on the automotive industry and its demanding challenges. Car audio became a phenomenon of the time and in 2005 a school dedicated exclusively to vehicle sound systems was founded in Aprilia, where ESB is based. At that time the final decision was made to leave the world of home audio and focus exclusively on vehicle sound systems. Today ESB, together with the American maker of audiophile amplifiers and DSP processors Zapco, is part of the Italian Apex Group. The offer includes several model ranges topped by the super high-end three-way system Diecimila, which probably represents the highest quality and most expensive car speakers on the market today. This is ESB Audio's main mission: to produce speakers of the highest quality focused on faithful sound reproduction, allowing the user to hear the performance as the artist intended. Exactly according to the company slogan "Just like live".
