About Me

Adrian Butts is the founder and chief designer of Tetra Speakers.

Adrian Butts is the founder and chief designer of Tetra Speakers Incorporated in Ottawa, Canada. From an early age, Adrian has been passionate about sound and music. At the age of ten, he took apart his father's vintage speakers, curious to understand how they worked. As a teen, he owned a mobile disco and DJ'd at the local roller rink. He became an internationally top-ranked salesman for the prestigious speaker brand Bang and Olufsen and owned an audio store before the age of 30. Still unsatisfied in his pursuit of sound excellence, Adrian experimented with his own speaker design. He spent three years testing and understanding speaker components and cabinet design before launching Tetra Speakers in 1998, the culmination of his sound journey. Tetra Speakers creates "listening instruments" that capture the hearts and ears of musicians and music aficionados from around the world.
