Encel is a Melbourne-based brand that has been represented in the Australian market since 1958 when founder, Alex Encel, first introduced the concept of the hi-fi stereo system to the Australian market.
The prototype product that Encel produced was a sound system - built to impress his opera singer girlfriend. What came next shocked the young uni student, when interest in his hobby turned into a flourishing business.
Encel continues as a family business, with the same purpose of helping people listen to their music in delightful quality.
Their products are still designed in Melbourne, with exceptional sound and fun aesthetics at their core.
