ABOUT US

MATTRIXX-N is a company composed of professionals in the audio and music industry. All together, over 100 years of experience is represented. In 1999, Gene Juall, founder of MATTRIXX-N began research on Planar (Ribbon) Driver technology for application in professional audio applications. Gene continued his research and consulted with Lloyd Kinkade in his evaluation of Ribbon drivers.  In 2005, Gene collaborated with Barry Grzebik on the application of planar driver technology in a musical instrument amplifier and a prototype was developed.

In January 2006 MATTRIXX-N was incorporated in the State of Nevada and a patent was applied for. A prototype was evaluated and tested by Gene, Barry, Lloyd, Tom Parnell, Tom Levno and George Kindler who passed away in 2007 and is dearly missed.

Due to the positive reaction on the high performance of the prototype, throughout 2006 and into 2007, MATTRIXX-N proceeded to develop additional prototypes and, subsequently, pre-production models and the amplifier was named the SanGreal TM.

In the second half of 2007, production was started and the first SanGreal TM iinstrument amplifiers were completed in the Fall of 2007.   In June 2008 the SanGreal TM instrument amplifier was introduced at the Summer NAMM Show in Nashville, TN.

Based on auditions, reviews, testimonials and satisfied owners, it is clear that the SanGreal TM instrument amplifier offers a unprecedented  high level of performance in the industry.
