What TECNARE / EXEL ACOUSTICS SL does

TECNARE (legal entity Exel Acoustics SL) is a Spanish professional audio manufacturer founded in 1984, specializing in loudspeaker systems and electronic amplification equipment for sound reinforcement applications. The company designs and manufactures its entire product portfolio in-house at a 4,000 sq. meter facility near Madrid (Navalcarnero), employing CAD design, CNC and robotized machinery, automated control testing, and qualified hand labour. The product range spans passive and self-powered loudspeakers (line arrays such as the CLA21 PLUS, point-source series including IBZA, ALIS, V, E, Pulsar, Tanit, IK, KT, and multiple subwoofer families), plus a full electronics line: T Series Class-D amplifiers (with Dante/AES67), TDAP Series DSP-enabled amplifiers, TDA Series digital amplifiers, APA Series analog Class-H amplifiers, and DP Series digital signal processors. Tecnare pioneered DSP integration in amplifier modules around 2002 and continues to develop proprietary platforms including PCC Technology, PulseLock protection, and 32-bit/48kHz FIR-filter DSP.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model built on a global network of 30+ distribution partners spanning Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and East Africa, complemented by direct sales via an in-house Sales Department and project design support from an Acoustic Design Department. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales (loudspeakers, amplifiers, processors, accessories), supplemented by professional services including technical support, RMA-based after-sales service, and simulation tool support (e.g., EASE Focus 3 GLL data). End customers span live sound touring and festivals, hospitality and nightlife venues (e.g., Fabrik, La Machine Du Moulin Rouge, Pachá Ofir), commercial installations, houses of worship, and corporate/educational facilities. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, M&A, or public listing.
