Procella - The Storm

Welcome to the website of Procella Audio, manufacturer of dedicated surround sound speaker systems for professional use, high quality home theatres and small, mediumto large-sized cinemas.

“in mare irato, in subita procella, invoco te nostra benigna stella" Gabriello Chiabrera (1552-1638)

Surround sound is not an invention of the film or audio industry; it is a fact of life. Everything is in ‘surround sound’. Nothing exemplifies that better than a storm. Which exposes us to thunderous bass, mind-blowing mids and howling highs. It has silence in its eye and untold loudness in its rage. Nothing brings us back to nature like a storm. When it is over, it leaves us silent, awe-inspired, waiting for the first bird to start singing again.

Procella Audio speakers are designed to reproduce all forms of sound, life-like, natural, from the singing bird to the raging storm. Classical music, rock, pop or the latest blockbuster movie, the Procella Audio speaker system can bring it all to life…

Our speakers are designed without compromise: if it is better, we use it. The objective is to offer you a speaker system that produces the best audio quality possible, based on industry standards set by the professionals who make the music and movies to begin with. If you want the best speaker system money can buy, you have found it. Ask your AV installer to install a Procella Audio system in your home theatre or screening room and you will own a system that could belong to a music mixing studio, a post production facility or the private screening room of a movie director.
