Founded in 1938, Elipson is the oldest brand specialized in the manufacture of high-end speakers.

The history of Elipson is inextricably linked to its general manager, Joseph Léon. Formed at the Arts et Métiers, his ingenuity and the simplicity of the solutions he brings will make him one of the pioneers in the world of sound reproduction and audiophilia.

Joseph Léon joined the Multimoteur company in 1946, which was at that time a small company specializing in the production of electric motors for toys that had existed since 1938. The company also produced miniature electrical equipment used in the construction of transformers, generators and alternators.The first audio research carried out by Mr Bazin and Mr Latour took place in 1940, research which later gave birth to the famous “BS50 Chambord” model: a sphere with an elliptical reflector. The arrival of Joseph Léon at the head of the company in 1948 brought a new wind, and the company began extensive research into reflectors and resonators. Finally, in 1951, Multimoteur became Elipson, a contraction of “ellipse” and “son” (and therefore to be pronounced “Elipson” and not “Elipsonne”).
