COMPANY OVERVIEW

For the past 20 years, Wohler Technologies has been a world leader in providing in-rack audio and video monitoring solutions for the broadcast, motion picture, and professional audio/visual markets.

The San Francisco-based company was founded in 1983 by Will Wohler and in 1987, with the development of the AMP-1, became the first company to offer a powered speaker system featuring full stereo sound in one rack unit. Through the introduction of the AMP-1A in-rack audio monitor to the broadcast industry in 1989, Wohler Technologies began providing television networks worldwide with audio monitoring solutions for space-critical environments. Building on the success of the AMP-1A, Wohler Technologies continued to develop products that simplify analog and digital source monitoring in facilities of all sizes and complexity. In 1997 the company introduced its video division, PANORAMAdtv, and began offering monitoring technology for video signals. Throughout the past two decades, Wohler Technologies and PANORAMAdtv have continued to evolve with the needs of customers, providing audio and video monitoring systems for analog, AES/EBU, HD/SD-SDI, Dolby® Digital, and Dolby E. Leading the industry with its commitment to innovation, Wohler Technologies was the first to introduce monitoring solutions for SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and Dolby signals.
