NNNN

What NNNN does

NNNN is a Norwegian pro audio manufacturer founded in 2016 and headquartered in Drammen, Norway, with engineering centered in Oslo. The company designs and builds horn-loaded loudspeakers, subwoofers, and infrabass systems under its own brand, alongside a co-developed club-systems line under the OJAS x NNNN sub-brand created with OJAS (Devon Turnbull) beginning in 2021. Its core technical differentiator is a patented rear-chamber horn architecture that allows speaker drivers to behave as though the rear chamber is infinitely large, paired with sub-cardioid dispersion achieved through push-push mechanical driver configurations in the Devor series.

The product portfolio spans the Gage coaxial and arrayable point source speakers (Gage 30, 60, 70, 125), the Devor horn-loaded subwoofer and infrabass family (Devor 16, 23, 30, 40), the Trent transmission-line subwoofers (Trent 25, 35), the sensor-controlled Trada 30 active touring subwoofer, the Comium 30 boundary studio monitor, and the OJAS x NNNN ON-series club systems (ON2, ON4, ON7, ON8, M-system). Products are sold in passive, active, and self-powered configurations. The Comium 30 is included in Dolby's Audio Room Design Tool for Atmos installations, providing a distribution channel into certified Atmos studio and installed-sound markets.

NNNN sells exclusively through direct enterprise engagement with quote-based pricing, supplemented by a network of regional AV integrators (GlobalAV in the US, Neuron AV in the UK, Prolyd in Norway, Samasound in Korea, Whitelight in Japan, Concept Associates in Malaysia) and the OJAS co-brand channel for club systems. Customer segments span music venues and clubs (fabric London, Amber's Manchester, Public Records New York, Siwilai Bangkok), fashion and streetwear retail (Supreme, Thisisneverthat, UNDER R), listening bars and hospitality (Gehør Oslo, Tutto Niente Lugano), fashion-week events (Hugo Boss, Moncler x Pharrell at Milan Fashion Week 2023), and studios (André Bratten Studio, SHACK 15 San Francisco). The company employs approximately ten people and operates without disclosed external funding.

Core offering

NNNN designs, engineers, and manufactures high-performance horn-loaded professional loudspeakers, subwoofers, infrabass systems, and studio monitors. Its portfolio includes the Devor, Gage, Trent, Trada, Avant, and Comium product lines, plus the OJAS x NNNN collaborative ON-series club sound systems. Products are sold directly to enterprise customers including concert venues, recording studios, retail and hospitality venues, and touring artists, with installation support via regional AV integrator partners.

Product overview

NNNN is a Norwegian pro audio company offering a portfolio of horn-loaded, coaxial, and transmission line loudspeakers, subwoofers, and infrabass systems. The product range centers on the Gage series (coaxial point source and arrayable full-range speakers: Gage 125, Gage 70, Gage 60, Gage 30), the Devor series (horn-loaded premium subwoofers and infrabass: Devor 40, Devor 30, Devor 23, Devor 16), the Trent series (transmission line subwoofers: Trent 35, Trent 25), the Avant 30 horn-loaded subwoofer, the Trada 30 sensor-controlled high-SPL touring subwoofer, and the Comium 30 boundary studio monitor. A separate OJAS x NNNN collaboration line (ON2, ON4, ON7, ON8, and ON M system) combines OJAS multicell and radial horns with NNNN bass/infrabass drivers into complete club sound systems. All products share core acoustic principles — horn-loading, sub-cardioid dispersion, mechanical force cancellation, and energy efficiency — and are available in passive, active, and self-powered configurations across studio, installed AV, and live sound applications.
