Amadeus was the only audio company to win out of over 228 entries. The funds are to be used over 3 years for supply diversification, international development and equipment and material investments.
The parisian Studio de la Chine featuring a pair of ST155 custom designed main speakers, one of Michel Deluc’s, head of Amedeus R&D creations. Each loudspeaker is equipped with a one inch dome pure beryllium tweeter, one three-inchs ATC soft dome mid-range driver and a mighty 15-inchs TAD direct radiating woofer. This system is driven by a proprierary tri-amped D class power amplifier that includes a DSP module for filtering, protection and time alignement functions. The switched mode power supply of the amps is fed by a PFC.
Amadeus has recently seen growth in the Asian audio markets and regionally in Europe and especially France in institutional installations, such as the National Museum of Natural History (France), French Institute for Science about Music and Sound (IRCAM), National Audiovisual Institute (INA), and the Philharmonie de Paris. The funds won by Amadeus, 99 110 €, will help spur investment in furthering these and other business directions for Amadeus.
The ST200N and his custom wooden carved elliptical waveguide. The HF transducer in a 1 inch driver. For the low frequency below 2 kHz, the ST200N is equipped with a 8-inchs kevlar woofer. This small monitor is driven by a bi-amped D class 40W (HF) and 150W (LMF) power amplifier.
The custom made INA 155, a monitor specifically created for the French INA institute and sharing the same loudspeakers than the ST155 but the tweeter, here a Dynaudio Esotar 1 inch soft dome.
Established in 2008 by the région Île-de-France, PM’Up supports small and medium-sized businesses that exhibit a high potential for growth and job creation. Île-de-France is the wealthiest and most populated of the twenty-seven administrative regions of France.
Jean-Paul HUCHON, the President of the Conseil regional (Regional Council) of Île-de-France points out, “PM’Up was established to support innovating, dynamic and responsible businesses with their structuring projects, in order to stimulate their growth.”
“Joining the PM’Up network alongside hundreds of high-potential SMB in the Île-de-France region’s ecosystem is a true honour,” declares Bernard BYK, head of Amadeus. “It also provides Amadeus with a wonderful opportunity to benefit from custom assistance and advising, and financial support from the région Île-de-France. It will allow us to increase our production capacity, invest towards the launch of new products and services, create new jobs, gain new markets abroad and confirm our sustainable growth strategy.”
“Amadeus embodies the alliance of high technology and traditional know-how,” explains Antoine PALLUD, SMB advisor at the Direction du Développement Economique et de l’Innovation. “The région Île-de-France is committed to championing businesses who believe in innovation, values, and job creation. It supports Amadeus in its expansion, most notably abroad, confident that the company will contribute to extending the influence of the region, as well as its economic growth.”
Companies who apply to PM’Up must submit an ambitious program, which may include launching new products, optimizing the company’s value chain (quality process, modernizing, partnerships, economic intelligence). The plan can also pertain to exports development, sales growth such as setting up subsidiaries or a franchise, or implementing a Corporate Social Responsibility program.
