Fohhn develops and produces innovative and sustainable audio systems for professional applications since 1993. We offer solutions for fixed installations and mobile use for the global market. Acoustics, electronics, mechanics and software form an inseparable unit. The intelligent system amplifiers and digital tools are therefore just as important as the more than 100 types of loudspeakers. Every software and hardware component is engineered and made in the Fohhn company building in Nürtingen, Germany. Fohhn’s ambition goes beyond perfect sound. Because the visual integration of the system is also crucial in many projects. That’s why Fohhn offers numerous customizing options. From special colors, special enclosure lengths and special weather protection to complete custom-builds. The famous Fohhn Beam Steering Technology allows the control of the sound dispersion by mouse wheel. This allows the systems to be mounted discreetly straight on the wall without having to be tilted or curved. Fohhn is a true partner during a project and supports with planning and simulation all the way to on-site system tuning - in the small conference room, in the cathedral as well as in Europe’s largest opera house.
