OLE KLIFOTH
Audiovector was founded in Copenhagen in 1979 By Ole Klifoth. Prior to this Ole was a fervent audio and music lover with good experience in the hi-fi world. During this period he said that he could not “find the speaker of my dreams, so I decided to build it myself.” So consequently he started Audiovector to make and sell one. His vision for this new company was then, and remains to this day, to produce superbly natural sounding loudspeakers for real music lovers. Audiovector enjoyed an immediately successful start with the ‘Trapez’ speaker, which was built according to Ole´s ideas regarding linear dynamics, linear phase and low compression – ideas that still form the backbone of Audiovector’s design philosophy and DNA.
Ole is a husband, father and grandfather with a passion for home cooked food, French wine and German sports cars. At weekends, you can find Ole in the kitchen surrounded by family and friends, or in the garden playing with his grandchildren. Aged 72 he remains a very active and integral member of the Audiovector team as the R&D Manager.
MADS KLIFOTH
Mads is Ole’s son and has been responsible for operating Audiovector commercially since 2015. Mads has been interested in music and hi-fi from an early age and has been involved at some level in the family business for many years. With a business background in real estate, Mads combines this commercial business experience with his knowledge of the unique ‘family DNA’ of the company. Mads spearheads many aspects of the business and has expanded global distribution and the company profile, so the company has thrived very well over the past few years with consistent business growth and increased sales.
Mads is married to Stine and they have a young son. When he is not spending time at the office he is busy spending time with his family enjoying a glass of wine and researching in his favourite passion and hobby, Swiss timepieces. The family lives north of Copenhagen, close to the Audiovector factory and office headquarters.
