Rockport Technologies

Rockport Technologies began as Payor Acoustics Inc. in 1984 with the design of a compact, satellite/subwoofer loudspeaker system. Long ago we recognized that the two areas of greatest loss in an analog reproduction chain are where the transduction occurs from mechanical to electrical energy at the front end, and then back to mechanical (acoustical) energy at the loudspeaker. Consequently, these two transduction sites provide the greatest opportunity for improvement in an audio system, and have been the areas where we have focused our attention for more than 30 years.

Because resonant colorations and unwanted energy storage have been virtually eradicated from our designs, instrumental timbres and harmonic structures are maintained intact. The extremely low resolution floor of our products provides a conduit for the artist’s very expression. Low level spatial cues that actually define the recording venue are also correctly reproduced, and both large and small scale dynamic contrasts are faithfully rendered, thereby enabling the listener to be transported back to the original event. All of our designs are also developed to integrate into the real world listening environment for which they are intended – physically, sonically, and aesthetically.
