For  over  28  years,  Earthquake  Sound  has  been  producing  a  variety  of  high  quality  audio  products  that  have 
impressed audiophile communities around the world. It all started in 1984 when Joseph Sahyoun, a music freak and 
Aerospace  Engineer  unhappy  with  the  existing  loud  speaker  technology  and  performance,  decided  to  put  his 
advance  engineering  knowledge  to  use.  He  pushed  technological  boundaries  to  the  limit  to  create  the  kind  of 
subwoofer he could live with. Earthquake quickly created a name for itself in the car audio industry and became well 
known for its powerful subwoofers and amplifiers. In 1997, using his existing expertise in the audio industry, Joseph 
Sahyoun expanded his company to home audio production. 

Earthquake Sound has since evolved into a leader in the home audio industry, producing not only subwoofers and 
amplifiers  but  surround  speakers  and  tactile  transducers  as  well.  Engineered  by  audiophiles  for  audiophiles, 
Earthquake Sound audio products are meticulously crafted to reproduce each and every single note perfectly, 
bringing your home theater experience to life. With true dedication and full attention to details, Earthquake Sound 
engineers  continuously  develop  new  and  better  products  to  meet  customers’  needs  and  go  beyond  their 
expectations.

From mobile audio to prosound and home audio, Earthquake Sound has been selected as the winner of many 
prestigious awards based on sound quality, performance, value and features. CEA and numerous publications have 
awarded Earthquake Sound with over a dozen design and engineering awards. Additionally, Earthquake Sound has 
been granted many design patents by the USPO for revolutionary audio designs that have changed the sound of the 
audio industry.

Headquartered in a 60,000 square foot facility in Hayward, California USA, Earthquake Sound currently exports to 
over 60 countries worldwide. In 2010, Earthquake Sound expanded its export operations by opening a European 
warehouse in Denmark. This accomplishment was recognized by the US Department of Commerce who honored 
Earthquake Sound with an Export Achievement award at the 2011 Consumer Electronic Show. Just recently, the US 
Department of Commerce presented Earthquake Sound with another Export Achievement award for expanding its 
export operations in China.
