AudioNec is a small French high-end audio maker founded by Francis Chaillet, building music servers, digital amplifiers and loudspeakers by hand in a workshop near Paris. After years of development, Chaillet presented one of the early dedicated high-end music servers at the Munich High End show around 2009-2010, and the brand has since grown into a compact range that covers a complete digital playback system.
Range & what it's known for
AudioNec started with music servers and still treats digital playback as its starting point. Its electronics include the AA1 mono and AA2 stereo power amplifiers, which use class D output stages, and the AAD2, a digital power amplifier with an integrated converter. The loudspeaker side is split into the OBi line, with the OBi MINI, OBi MID and OBi MAX, and the Evo line, numbered from Evo 1 to Evo 4, with the Diva XL and Ultimate models above them. The aim is a system in which server, amplification and speakers come from one source.
Who owns it and where it's made
AudioNec is an independent, French-owned company led by its founder. Every speaker and music server is assembled by hand by a small team in the Paris region and tested before shipping, and the brand presents itself as 100% made in France.
The lineup in this catalog
The catalog lists 8 AudioNec components, positioned in the upper part of the hi-fi market.
Who it's for
AudioNec makes most sense in a fully digital, file-based system in which server, amplifiers and loudspeakers all come from one small maker. An entry could be an OBi speaker with an AA2 amplifier, with a later move to monoblock AA1 units and the larger Evo or Diva models. It is a choice for buyers who value handmade French production and direct contact with a small workshop.
