Industrial Design
for Audio Products

From headphones and microphones to integrated enterprise systems, physical design is where brand, experience, and performance converge.

With deep expertise in the audio sector, we turn your product ambition into impactful products customers love — products that are intuitive, desirable, viable and technically sound.

What We Deliver

  • Customer Insights

  • Design Concepts (sketches, mockups, renders, prototypes)

  • CAD Models (STEP or native formats)

  • CMF Boards (color, material, finish)

  • Design Specification Documents (for R&D and supplier integration)

  • Prototypes (low- or high-fidelity through partners)

Our Methodology

We provide the strategic clarity, iterative rigor, and technical depth needed to make high-confidence decisions along the development cycle of audio products — reducing risk, aligning teams, and accelerating progress toward launch in a 4-step approach.

1 / Understand
for strong team alignment and faster decision-making
2 / Insight
for reduction in uncertainty and rework
3 / Concept
for clear design solutions grounded in user needs and technical feasibility
4 / Delivery
for a viable and manufacturable product design.

1 / Understand

We map the current status of the project and identify the big unknowns. We develop the right project plan together to ensure your resources are spent in the best way possible.

Goal

You have clarity about the project roadmap.
