OUR STORY

We are a values-driven company. Four of our key values are:

Service-First - Our primary focus is to continuously improve the customer experience, and assisting customers is always our most urgent priority.

More-Emotion - Our product design constantly strives to improve the emotional impact of music played by our products.

Resilient-Design - Our product design is equally focused on ensuring the reliability, serviceability and upgradability of our products.

Outcome-Focus - Each of our people owns the outcome for a key area of the business. We do not measure their hours or their effort. We entrust the outcome to them and we help them when they tell us the outcome is in jeopardy.

We began trading as Antipodes Audio in 2004 making high-end audio cables, based on our proprietary open-lattice gold wire and silver wire, pure unbleached cotton insulation and novel geometries that introduced a quasi-transmission-line theory.

In 2009, we incorporated Antipodes Audio Limited, began intensive research and development into computer audio, and launched our first commercial music server-streamers in 2011. We sold our wire technology in 2015 and exited the cable market.

We moved into our current modern premises in 2020, combining all of our operations under one roof. In 2025 we re-organised into 3 separate divisions under Antipodes Audio Limited - Corporate, Oladra and Emotion. Oladra handles all design, manufacture and distribution of music server-streamers. Emotion distributes exotic high-end audio in New Zealand. Corporate handles all investments, shared services and compliance.

Today, Oladra music server-streamers are distributed in over 30 countries, and Emotion distributes several hundred products with 7 dedicated listening rooms open to the public by appointment, demonstrating our recommended high-end audio systems.

OUR LOCATION

All three Antipodes divisions are located together on the beautiful Kapiti Coast of New Zealand.

Our modern 1,000 sqm. (approx. 11,000 sq. ft.) building employs green energy principles and integrates all three divisions in one place.
