The 1 SOUND team is a group of individuals motivated by the love for the craft. Lou Mannarino, the founder and designer of 1 SOUND, has had a 40 year career in the field as a musician, installer, and live audio engineer, which feeds the inspiration of 1 SOUND’s product designs. Lou started building speakers at 12 years old while mixing sound for school plays. Now his artist list includes Paul McCartney, Jay-Z, Bon Jovi, and The New York Philharmonic. He has designed audio systems for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center for the Arts, The Four Seasons Hotels, and many other notable venues. Lou is the founder of L&M Sound & Light.
WHERE wE aRE
All 1 SOUND speaker systems are manufactured in the USA, specifically in Monmouth County NJ. We use the best materials available from the United States and Italy. While almost all current manufacturers in the pro audio industry are now manufacturing overseas, manufacturing in the USA gives 1 SOUND the advantages of quick turnaround times, control over the supply chain, and the pride of being built in the USA.
WHY WE aRE
1 SOUND brings 40 years of experience to each caringly made loudspeaker design. Our goal is to support the professional audio industry with tools that are new to the market and the best sound, bringing the latest technology to provide next generation solutions. We build using premium materials with highly trained craftsmen while maintaining strict quality control criteria. There are many quality brands available worldwide, however, few are built in the USA. We believe in having a hands on approach with building and stocking as well as in our individualized customer support.
