Triangle (France) is one of the most famous manufacturers of acoustic equipment in the world. This company produces acoustics for both home theaters and cars. Every person, regardless of his level of income, will be able to find in the list of manufactured products something that is right for him. All Triangle products are durable and, undoubtedly, of high quality: from inexpensive models of speaker systems to High End acoustics.
Renaud de Vernet founded Triangle in 1980. At that time, the Hi-Fi product market was divided by several well-known manufacturers, and it was quite difficult to enter their ranks. To carve out a niche in this market, Renaud de Vergnette developed the following company philosophy: to offer people products with natural sound, reasonable prices and great appearance, stylish and elegant (which was a complete innovation for that time, characterized by standard acoustic enclosures – “boxes”) “). Since Triangle entered the market in 1981, it has strived to develop its own components for the production of loudspeaker systems. All this was and is being done so that it is possible to make maximum use of all technical innovations, both from the acoustic and aesthetic sides.
Renaud de Vernet
The main principle and quality guarantee of the Triangle company is that in the production of acoustic systems, developers strive to obtain the highest sensitivity, high speed characteristics and maximum rigidity of the diffusers. At the company’s factory, strict control is carried out at all stages of the production of speaker systems. In addition, Triangle produces its own speakers. Renaud de Vergnet, the founder and ideological inspirer of the Triangle company, driven by the goal of creating uncompromising musical equipment, namely acoustic systems, gathered around him people who shared his passion and philosophy and began his activities. The people-products-unity chain, which was built and developed by Renaud de Vernet, allowed Triangle to survive all kinds of changes in fashion related to the production of loudspeaker systems, and to become a distinctive company that took its rightful place in the Hi-Fi market. And this is not surprising, because the Triangle company produces acoustics for music, and music is eternal.
Triangle’s first loudspeakers
Since its founding in 1980, the company has been run by audio enthusiasts, creating speaker systems for customers as passionate about audio as they are. The ties between the company’s management and its clients are so strong that they easily change places. Five years ago, Oliver Dezell, one of Triangle’s first clients, became the company’s majority shareholder. The new owner has set ambitious goals for the small (only 27 employees) company, which is focused primarily on the domestic French market: on international markets – and all this without losing the “Triangle spirit” that fans of the brand value so much. Close to Paris From Soissons, where Triangle is headquartered, cosmopolitan Paris is only 80 km away. An hour’s drive if there are no traffic jams. But this is a completely different France. Quiet, provincial, conservative. The atmosphere in Triangle is more reminiscent of an 18th century manufactory. Partly because most of the actual production has been moved to China. Soissons houses management, a sales department, a research and logistics center and a tiny workshop in which two workers assemble the older Magellan series speakers. The older series, with its expensive components and increased requirements for build quality, remains an area where the use of manual French labor is still justified.

And one more element of traditional European production – all the main elements of the speakers are developed here, in Triangle. The company not only develops the overall design of the speakers, but also produces its own speakers and tweeters. The titanium tweeter in an aluminum housing, created for the Magellan line, is one of the company’s most interesting developments. It is largely responsible for the high resolution and ultra-crisp soundstage that characterizes the best Triangle models. As is usually the case, the new tweeter has already begun to appear in cheaper models. Triangle has long chosen paper for its midrange speakers. Fast and accurate, paper speakers are especially good at conveying subtle nuances of sound. In the new generation of Triangle midrange speakers, the working surface is made of polymer, but the paper remains. As you can see in the picture, the cellular structure of the paper gives the speaker additional rigidity.
