Origin Acoustics Reflects on Its History and Future Ahead of CEDIA Expo 2022

Origin Acoustics plans to show how it has EVOLVED since its inception in 2014. While the brand’s heritage dates back to the first architectural speaker manufacturer, the Origin brand has only been around for eight years and claims to be one of the top brands used by today’s custom installers.

Announced back in 2017, the first brand partnership was announced with Bang & Olufsen with worldwide sales “approaching $1 billion dollars.” This partnership started with the development of a co-branded line of architectural speakers designed and built by Origin Acoustics, which was then sold by both Origin and Bang & Olufsen worldwide through each company’s respective sales channels.

Just announced prior to CEDIA Expo, Origin Acoustics announced how its relationship with Bang & Olufsen has evolved by becoming the North American brand manager and master distributor. Origin is now responsible for expanding the Bang & Olufsen CTI program, Custom Technology Installers, by bringing on new resellers to grow the Bang & Olufsen presence in the U.S. Together, they will be making a new product announcement at CEDIA Expo, which you can learn more about by visiting either of their booths.

Over the past eight years, Origin has continued its curation approach by partnering with companies such as Audio Control, Artnovion, Amina Sound, Crestron and most recently Austere and Flush Mount. In addition, it acquired Ambisonic, a high-performance line of outdoor and commercial speakers, from Jeffrey James Coombs, best known as the founder of James Audio.

Origin Acoustics says with its rapid growth, its product line has evolved immensely, with an increased focus on design.  Recognizing that the interior designer, architect, and builder are all playing a major role in influencing today’s home buyer, they have developed what they call design-centric technology solutions. The latest product releases showcasing its design philosophy are with its Minimal Opening System line of products, which provides “incredible sound from a 4” opening that blend in with today’s high design lighting fixtures.” Other products, such as the Bollard outdoor speakers and new line of sound bars, with their patented InstaWidth design to match most TVs on the market.

While Origin may evolve into a larger and more design-centric organization, the company aims to “still stay true to its authenticity, focus on customer experience, and build relationships that transcend just a transaction.” Through additional strategic partnerships and acquisitions, the company aims to be recognized as “one of the most influential brands in our industry, with hopes of continuing to provide their loyal customers with the best solutions and greatest support.”
