… Origination and development of TWAUDiO are closely connected to my personal experiences. And this is how it all started: As a sixteen-year-old music enthusiast I have always been put behind the mixing desk by my elder brothers at their gigs. That was my key moment. I started to listen more consciously, learned how to understand and feel the music…
Years of often hard apprenticeship in the PA rental business followed. Sometimes I could even use my own built loudspeakers and amplifiers. I was able to gather a lot of valuable experiences as a sound engineer on numerous concerts at the FoH and monitor desk.
In the mid-nineties my field of activity expanded when the introduction of digital system controllers considerably extended the range of possibilities for controlling and optimising the sound systems. With my own presets I was able to adapt the sound characteristics of the loudspeakers in relation to the different acoustic situations.
Using this kind of system tuning on concerts with the Backstreet Boys, Simply Red, Phil Collins and David Bowie were the highlights. At the same time I used this new technology, perfecting the development of my own loudspeakers.
My own ideas about the design, performance and quality of professional sound systems began to take shape.
Many of my contacts in the industry and the enthusiasm for my already developed products encouraged me to take the next step – to create my own brand.
TWAUDiO was born. I became we.
Every TWAUDiO loudspeaker deployed is proof of the confidence in our brand and in what we want to achieve – being simply your sound.
And that’s what we stand for – every single TWAUDiO product, every single TWAUDiO employee and of course me, as its founder.

Every development starts with an idea. And that’s where we start too. We get important input from communicating intensively and constantly with sound technicians, rental companies, installation specialists and architects. We use that input to help us develop products TW AUDiO users want on the basis of their needs, wishes and experiences.
The demands placed on loudspeakers today and in the future have been rising constantly over the past few years, with the emphasis on less weight, smaller dimensions, more performance, less complicated hand-ling, reliability, accessories for every conceivable situation, maximum flexibility and scalability, full integration into acoustic planing software, simple administration of complex systems via remote software, return on investment.
While of course not losing sight of the fact that sound is what it’s all about. Modern sound systems are required, just like audiophile studio monitors, primarily to broadcast and amplify as faithfully as possible voice, music and other sound events – sometimes louder, sometimes wider and further, and with the same quality of sound reaching every single audience seat.
We use exhaustive simulation and precise measuring technology in the development of our loudspeakers, carefully looking at and testing all the parameters and options that could come into play when they’re subsequently in use. Individual components and prototypes are thoroughly tested, and then beta tests are carried out on the pilot series systems in the field.
Every TW AUDiO product is the sum of all these crucial factors, and that’s how we ensure the quality, value and timelessness of our loudspeaker systems.
Before we deliver finished loudspeakers to our customers, every single part has to go through a great many manufacturing stages and processes and pass a whole lot of different tests. Long before the first sound emerges from our systems a lot has already been done to ensure their quality. Every individual part is constructed using complete 3D CAD, so that a smooth production process is guaranteed from the very outset.
To ensure optimal manufacturing conditions for every product and its components, we work with highly specialized suppliers in our region, giving us access to the most modern and precise manufacturing methods.
Most of our metal components are made in fully automated 3D laser and water jet processing machines. Partially automated joining processes ensure even quality from batch to batch.
Also in the enclosure production we leave nothing to chance. Up-to-the-minute 5 axle CNC milling machines guarantee an excellent fit for the wooden parts in the assembly. High-quality coatings contribute their parts in giving our products their longevity.
The plastic parts such as horns and wave guides are made in close collaboration with our mould makers and injection casters. Mould flow analyses and manufacturing experts help us maintain the very highest quality in series construction.
Distributing the various tasks over a number of specialized production facilities means that there is a redundancy in the overall manufacturing system that guarantees the very highest quality with a maximum of flexibility and failsafe security.
For the final assembly in our factory we use the cellular manufacturing principle. That gives us a high level of flexibility in assembling the various loudspeaker series enabling us to customise systems according to individual customer requirements.
Every stage of the assembly process is thoroughly documented, and the finished product is then given a final exhaustive quality check.
That’s how our TW AUDiO products are made, and only then can they bear this seal:
Loudspeakers, amplifiers and associated software today offer so many different possibilities. Systems can be deployed quickly and easily, like our classic PA-SYS-ONE, where we achieved our aim of creating a plug’n’play stack. But this vast array of possibilities also means that you sometimes need to call on the experience of specialists.
Imagine you’ve been hired to set up a complex sound system with a whole lot of line arrays, point source speakers, laborious subwoofer setups, infills, outfills, delay lines, zone speakers, monitoring, etc. All linked together, monitored, controllable and assessable via PC software. In temporary and fix installed sound systems, nothing unusual these days.
And of course you want to get the optimum best for your customer. That’s where we can offer you our support. We are committed to working at your side for the best possible outcome. Starting right from the planning phase of a project with simulation software such as Ease Focus 3 and Ease 4 or CAD programs such as AutoCad and Inventor.
Right through to the realization phase at the live event or in the installation in halls, houses of worship, or theatres with network configurations, preset support or acoustics measurements.
We see it as our job to provide you with all the relevant information you need for your projects to enable you to use the right TW AUDiO systems as the optimal solution for your specific jobs, right down to the last detail.
The basic goal of any seminar is to acquire new knowledge and deepen existing skills. Our various courses are designed to give you the tools for developing your skills.
The complex deployment of loudspeaker systems and continuous advances in technology mean that knowledge is an important success factor in your business. Knowing the right way to deal with and use loudspeakers and software will give you the confidence you need, confidence your customers will perceive.
We offer seminars at regular intervals on line arrays and remote and measuring software.
Details of upcoming dates will be sent to you in our newsletter and can be found on our website.
