Scansonic™ is a worldwide registered consumer electronics quality brand owned by Dantax A/S, a well-founded company on the OMX Nasdaq Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Dantax A/S has almost 40 years experience in the international audio and video consumer electronics industry.
Dantax A/S was founded in 1971 on building high quality hi-fi loudspeakers. Many things have changed since the start in the early 70's - and today Dantax A/S has evolved into a competitive international company, offering a wide range of own "in-house" danish designed and developed hi-fi and home cinema loudspeakers, tabletop radios and hi-fi products under the Scansonic™ brand that matches consumers preferences in regard to modern functional design, quality and attractive pricing.
The Scansonic™ brand has a long history.
The world famous high end loudspeaker driveunit manufacturer ScanSpeak in Hørning, Denmark, created the Scansonic™ brandname in 1970 for a newly developed line of excellent boxed HiFi loudspeakers. In 1977 Dantax A/S acquired ScanSpeak - the complete production and manufacturing line was moved to Pandrup in the north of Denmark and a separate ScanSpeak company was established, where the production of the world famous loudspeaker driveunits were continued. In the HiFi world ScanSpeak loudspeaker driveunits were considered to be in a class above the rest mainly due to the incorporated patents, the Hexagonal voicecoils and the Symmetric Drive. Bang & Olufsen had a royalty agreement with Scan Speak and used these patents in their loudspeakers for a number of years.
In 1985 the new ScanSpeak factory vanished in a fire, however production was quickly re-established in new premises in Aabybro, Denmark. The demand from HiFi purists from all over the world for the Scan Speak high quality loudspeaker driveunits continued and after some years Dantax A/S received an offer from Videbæk Loudspeaker Factory (VIFA) for the whole ScanSpeak operation, and they took over and today ScanSpeak still excist as a danish loudspeaker driveunit factory.
The Scansonic™ brand however, remained the property of Dantax Radio A/S.
Scansonic™ products are sold in many countries worldwide by selected distributors and retailers - should you like to know more about becoming a Scansonic™ distributor or retailer please contact our danish headoffice for sales:
