HP Sound Equipment, the owner of the XXL Inside trademark, was founded in 1990. Born close to Florence, for centuries the heart of Art and Culture, and in the middle of green Chianti's hills, the company started out providing technical service in the audio sector, collaborating right from the early days with some of the most important companies. The vast experience gained over the years has meant that its projects have been acquired by the leading names in the music sector of the electronics industry for which HP Sound Equipment has produced Sound Reinforcement Enclosures, Amplifiers, Mixers and Processors as a third party contractor for many years, before then overseeing the consequent production in China. It was indeed this most recent experience that enabled the company to operate within the same productive structures that produce for the most important names in the panorama of the world's professional audio equipment, refining even further the companies design and productive capacity. The most important part of HP Sound Equipment is without doubt the R&D department, made up of a team of design engineers that, using the most modern technology, is able to create up to date, modern products that conform to the most demanding needs of the professional market, in record time. Careful preliminary analysis, followed by scrupulous market research and sophisticated engineering means that each product has a precise place in its sector right from the moment it is conceived, meaning that once launched, it is highly competitive. Each product has been studied with "European" production in mind; that is with a low labour cost factor, meaning quality and competitive costs at the same time. The enthusiasm within this company has ensured that every product in the catalogue is made up of tradition and innovation, exactly what is needed in a professional product. The continuous collaboration and careful selection of sub-contractors, together with the perfection of the production processes and after-sales service, have all contributed to the optimization of the products and the service provided. Of fundamental importance though is the working atmosphere and close co-operation within the company in all its departments and the immense pride that surrounds each new product born and each new objective reached.
