History :::::::::::

Some English company manufacturing audio intercom systems went down the drainage beginning of the nineties last century.

Their German importers ran into a problem – without the English intercom system. Started to manufacture its own system.

Josef Becker, MD of this company, started to have a similar system manufactured in Germany, adding additional components and added features. This was the beginning of axxent intercom. The first year of axxent intercom was 1992 – almost 20 years before now.

It started with a two channel master station, 19": MS-200, a belt pack BP-100 and a signal light LP-100.

1994
axxent developed a ½ 19" loudspeaker station CP100, that also was able to function as a small intercom main station – very useful today, as 19" components close to the f.o.h. place become scarce.

1995
The one-channel master station MS100 came into the market with the unique feature of a cigarette lighter. Many f.o.h. mixers liked this feature, although today practically no-one is allowed to smoke inside a hall.

2003
2003 was the official start of axxent as an independent company – before a subsidiary of a distribution company. Intention was to start production of installation audio amplifiers and to increase the number of intercom components to offer a greater range of these components to customers.

2004
This year marked the introduction of a first series of installation amplifiers – low impedance, two channels, between 150 watts to 800 watts per channel. A one channel audio delay was introduced – with very simple adjustment of distances from 1 meter to 99 meters.

2005
Two amplifiers with 100 v outputs were added – models AX-2120T and AX-2240, 120 watts, respectively 240 watts per channel. Both amplifiers are in production today and installed in Germany in great numbers and in Europe as well.

2006
The first one-channel installation amplifier (AX1121T) was developed, with 120 watts and low impedance, 50 v, 70 v, and 100 v output. Customers liked this model very much because of passive cooling and the flexibility the outputs provided. A new intercom belt pack BP100V was introduced with a unique vibration alarm module.
2007
To complement the amplifier developed in 2006, axxent introduced models AX1240T and AX1400T with higher wattage of 240 watts and 1400 watts.

2008
This year, axxent introduced call signal lights with led's, colored in red, green, orange and yellow. Additionally, a seven channel input audio mixer GMX2500 with multiband limiter was first manufactured – intended for use in entertainment environments. The mixer could be used with 19" rack ears inside a rack or without the rack ears as a table top mixer.

2009
The mixer introduced in 2008 came with four 100 watt amplifiers inside – model GPX2500.

2010
A first automatic power mixer was developed, providing five mic/line automatic mixing inputs, plus aux inputs and 240 watt output – low impedance or 70 v/100 v. Main application is in churches and the passive cooling of this power mixer makes it ideal for this application.

2011
We expect several new products this year – both with intercom components as well as for the audio installation market. We will continue to develop all products here and to manufacture all products within the European Union. For us, quality, longevity and durability is more important than price. We trust that this is the case with you too. If you ever have an idea for a new product to develop, we would like to hear from you!
