AtlasIED Announces Strategic Investment in Fyne Audio

May 19 2023, 09:10
AtlasIED, the commercial audio specialist that is now expanding its strategy to new market segments, announced a strategic investment in the famous Scottish loudspeaker manufacturer, Fyne Audio - a manufacturing built from the ashes and engineering tradition of Tannoy. The partnership is intended to combine AtlasIED’s expertise in integrated solutions with Fyne Audio’s transducer technologies to open broader market opportunities for both companies.
Fyne Audio of Glasgow, Scotland, was founded in 2017 with support from investors including Scottish Enterprise, Scotland’s national economic development agency. The management and engineering teams are all audio veterans, specifically in the field of point source technology for commercial and residential applications. Rebuilt following the closing of Tannoy's operations in the aftermath of Behringer's acquisition of TC Group and subsequent move to Asia.

The company quickly rebuilt a complete portfolio based on Tannoy's engineering traditions and coaxial designs and now offers a surprising seven loudspeaker product ranges. Among those products, we can find speakers in the entry level F300 Series all the way to the brand's flagship F1 series - all waiting to be discovered by most markets. 

Fyne Audio’s "retro-inspired" Vintage and Vintage Classic loudspeaker series secured industry accolades with its blend of heritage, experience, and engineering - and because everyone wants to see the original Tannoy's back in the market, even though the company is not allowed to say it, or use the original references. As an example, FYne Audio describes its latest "dual concentric" drivers as the IsoFlare constant directivity driver (pictured below), featuring "coincidentally aligned mid-bass and tweeter sections for a true point source, ensuring wide and controlled dispersion for optimum coverage." Of course, all now optimized by the very latest techniques in transducer design, so they are even better.

AtlasIED is one of the industry’s largest manufacturers of diverse commercial audio ecosystems. The company’s high-performance Atmosphere audio system combines digital audio processors, amplifiers, graphical user interfaces, programming software, and controls to set a new operational and performance standard for digital audio systems for a range of commercial applications, including restaurants, bars, hotels, houses of worship, and retail establishments. AtlasIED has also been in a hiring frenzy, in an effort to build an industry team that rivals some of the best and largest American audio manufacturers of yesteryear, expanding product development efforts in virtually all speaker application segments.

"When we started looking at premium solutions for commercial audio our team knew they wanted to harness the advantages of point source technology and began a collaboration with Fyne Audio," says Matt Czyzewski, EVP of AtlasIED. John Ivey, President of AtlasIED, continues, "Our long term commitment to the company and the technology was further demonstrated by making a significant investment in Fyne Audio, and establishing a collaborative partnership."

"AtlasIED is one of the most respected companies in the industry and has decades of experience delivering commercial audio products and solutions," adds Anji Sosna, managing director at Fyne Audio. "As we’ve observed the evolution of the audio industry, we recognized AtlasIED as the ideal partner for us to reach our goals and create more opportunities for Fyne Audio technology to delight customers in more markets."

"Part of AtlasIED’s long term vision and journey is a commitment to continued innovation based on client feedback and industry evolution. The investment in Fyne Audio is key in this pathway for AtlasIED and will result in both quick and deliberate advancement for the organization," the announcement states.
