Audio interview with John Gott, CEO of SLS International, Inc.
Company Overview
SLS International, Inc. (OTCBB: SITI) a
publicly held corporation was formed on July 25, 2000 and merged with Sound
and Lightening Specialists, Inc, its sole shareholder, which had a 28 year
history in renting, selling and installing sound and lighting systems and
manufacturing customer designed loudspeakers. In the past four years, SLS
International, has focused solely on developing a new speaker component
technology and developing several lines of speaker systems. It has also
grown its facility from 6,000 sq.ft. and 6 employees to 32,000 sq. ft. and
23 employees.
All loudspeakers use the newly patented planar ribbon technology. Currently,
SLS is reviewing new technology applications as well as developing its
patented new technology amplifiers to be implemented in its loudspeakers
systems.
SLS sells both internationally and domestically through a system of
distributors and dealers to the Professional, Commercial and Home
Entertainment markets.
SLS’ successes to date have largely been attributed to: 1) the early
acceptance of its ribbon driver technology and industry awards such as
loudspeaker of the year from the Audio Engineering Society in 2001 and the
coveted Blue Ribbon Award for new technology from EQ Magazine in 2002. 2)
Strong celebrity endorsement and increased sales, 3) the capacity to raise
needed funds, and 4) our ability to expand the distribution networks
domestically and internationally.
As a four-year old company manufacturing loudspeakers and unique audio
technologies, SLS International, Inc. is rapidly increasing sales, market
acceptance, and product endorsement. SLS is striving to set the standards
for quality audio by providing a wide array of products spanning several
markets both domestically and internationally.
The consumer electronics market is a $100 billion market and projected to
grow over 3% annually. In this market, technology rules. Consumers want
products with improved aesthetics, smaller footprints, enhanced performance
and digital signal processing. SLS meets all of these requirements and has
increased potential applications using the ribbon drive technology. Recent
acquisition of a Patented digital amplifier technology will give SLS
increased loudspeaker applications, and digitally powered speakers.
