Alain Pouillon-Guibert

Well...who I am

 

Alain Pouillon-Guibert, ESME professor engineer, international consultant in acoustics and electro acoustics, member of AES, lecturer at INA, usually addressed by my initials "APG" and founder of the company APG.

I have made available to professionals and the public new acoustic and electro acoustic technologies I conceived and applied to thousands of speakers and sound reinforcement systems. Some of which are other twenty five years old and still fully satisfactory.


I have participated in the birth and recovering of hundreds shows, auditoriums and theatres.

I contributed to the training of engineers and doctors in acoustics, as well as sound technicians, to whom I was either guardian or training Master.

Why should it be We

and not I ?
Although the creative process is essentially solitary the specificities necessary to the realization of high level goods and fittings are essentially multiple and complex.
In the course of my career I could establish links of a close collaboration and partnership with industrialists and craftsmen, independent and complementary, who are among the best in their line and with whom I carry on collaborating.

why ARPHONIA ?

Because in the year 2002 I left SCV International, the first european audio professional group and owner of APG, and created ARPHONIA company, whose name symbolizes the fusion of art and science in sound.

After conceiving and developing all the products of the APG range since its birth in 1978, I decided to devote myself solely to creating acoustics and electro acoustics, that is to say the study, conception and integration of sound diffusion components in a mastered architectural environment, a sound aesthetics that can only be appreciated in a "system" and not a "product" approach.
In fact ; how could it be possible that listening comfort, the pleasure enjoyed by the most sophisticated and performing devices might be independent of the acoustic environment and the place where it operates ?
The solution goes necessarily through the fusion of electro acoustics and acoustics in a global process.

That's the reason why, I am not only focused on the design of drivers, cabinets and systems but also the way to achieve the best of these products in the place they have to perform in.
