Updated: May 14
In the world of audio innovation, few stories are as compelling as that of Ralph Waters, the founder of Richter Acoustics. This is a story of Australian ingenuity and tenacity in the face of skepticism and condescension from doubters of the value of "Australian Made".
The episode also delves into the technical side of loudspeaker design from the perspective of a man who was there at the birth of Australian HiFi.
Richter Acoustics is still a leading force in loudspeaker design and has proven to the world that Australian Made has worth and staying power in the HiFi market.

"The name Richter - it played both ways. People who were pro-Australian we would push the Australian Made "down-under" thing and if they preferred imports we just ignored that and pretended it was German..." Ralph Waterseadphones
