Our Passion
Founded in 2002, YG Acoustics is recognized as one of the leading manufacturers in the high-end audio industry.
Everyone at YG loves music and our loudspeakers reflect our passion. They provide the most accurate, most musical performance possible today.
Our drive to recreate the emotional magic of a live performance constantly inspires us to push the boundaries of audio technology. Over the years, our journey has led us to many proprietary innovations in design, materials and manufacturing.
YG loudspeakers bring together the very latest in science and technology. They are built from the highest performance materials, manufactured in-house to an unprecedented precision. They deliver exceptional measurements: huge frequency bandwidth, exceptional phase coherence, enormous dynamic range and vanishingly low distortion.
More importantly, they provide the clearest of windows into the performance. They communicate every nuance of emotion, every musical cue from the tiniest micro-detail through to the physical impact of the most thunderous crescendo.
At YG we are lucky enough to hear our speakers every day. They can bring tears to our eyes or leave us with ear-to-ear grins that last the whole day. We hope you like them as much as we do.
Our Facilities
YG is an international company.
Our historic headquarters and main CNC manufacturing site is in Denver, Colorado. Here we have truly state-of-the art machining capabilities, including waterjet cutting, 3-axis and 5-axis precision machining. Our Denver team spans every aspect across design, machining, finishing, assembly and logistics. We also have a beautiful listening room for pre-shipping listening tests and where visitors can experience our speakers with a wide range of electronics.
Since 2020, we have had our research and development hub in Cambridge, UK. Cambridge is famous for its university and as one of the world's leading technology hubs. Here we have industry-leading measurement tools and facilities, as well as our own GPU computing cluster for running simulations.
In early 2024, we introduced the XV 3 Signature: a unique new loudspeaker tuned by our R&D team. Each pair undergoes detailed measurement and iterative optimization to deliver the very best performance possible. To do this, we added manufacturing capabilities to our Cambridge facility. Since then, those facilities have grown and we are pleased to offer our full range of speakers from both Denver and Cambridge.
Dr Matthew Webster
CEO
Matthew has been writing mathematical software commercially since he was far too young and spent the first money he earned buying a hi-fi system.
Since completing his PhD in Astrophysics at Cambridge, he has applied detailed computational modelling to a wide range of sectors but audio has remained an abiding passion.
He is responsible for steering every aspect of YG’s business and product development: from day-to-day manufacturing improvements through to five-year “is that even possible?” innovations.
His gaps between business management duties are split between furrowed brows staring down equations and ear-to-ear grins listening to prototypes.
Jason Browning
Product Design Lead
Jason’s background is in mechanical engineering and industrial design. He has a passion for every aspect of design and manufacturing, from initial concept sketches through to coding complex CNC machining paths.
Fortunately for YG, he is equally passionate about loudspeakers and he is responsible for guiding the design of all our products.
His eye for elegant proportions, micrometre-perfect construction and stunning finishes is rivaled only by the breadth of his “eclectic” taste in music.
