Alcons Audio Celebrates 20th Anniversary At ISE

In October 2022, Alcons Audio celebrated its 20th anniversary. In these twenty years, the Dutch company has grown into one of Europe’s leading developers and manufacturers of professional sound systems, with offices in the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States of America and a dedicated worldwide Alcons dealer network.

Co-founder and shareholder Philip “Dr. Phil” de Haan, senior R&D engineer, initiator of multiple patents, and father of today’s high-output pro-ribbon technology became responsible for the R&D department. 

Maurice Laarhoven joined the ranks as the third shareholder and is responsible for the financial department. 

Being a “new kid on the block”, with a completely new product and technologies, the company wanted to position itself in the top-end of the market between brands that had been in existence for 20 to 35 years.
