Bittner Audio –
Quality that Goes beyond.
Amplifiers are made to deliver voltage and current. However, to achieve convincing
results it takes a lot more than a few years of experimentation. In addition it asks for the
determination to use only the finest quality components.
To achieve a transparent and well-balanced sound it takes great care and a production
process that pays careful attention to the highest quality workmanship. All components
will be of excellent quality and over-dimensioned in all important sections.
All Bittner Audio products are manufactured using the most modern production methods,
focusing on the uncompromising application of quality management principles.
Since its foundation in 1989, Bittner Audio pursues the goal to meet the demanding
requirements of the European market. Whether it be VDE 0828, EN 60849 or the new
EN 54-16 standard, whether EMC, CE or TQM, Bittner strives to meet or exceed these
standards and guidelines.
As Europeans we understand the needs and demands of our multi-national community.
We are close by and try our very best to serve and to build a relation of trust and
reliability with our valued customers.
