InnerSound was an American loudspeaker company from Colorado, led by the electrostatic designer Roger Sanders, who had been building electrostatic speakers since the 1970s. InnerSound made hybrid electrostatic speakers, such as the Eros and the Isis, which combined flat electrostatic panels with transmission-line or sealed woofers, and it paired them with active crossovers and its own powerful amplifiers designed specifically to drive electrostatic panels. The speakers were praised for their transparency, speed and dynamic capability, which are not always strengths of electrostatics, and for their careful integration of panel and woofer. InnerSound ceased trading in the early 2000s. Roger Sanders continued the same design approach under his own company, Sanders Sound Systems, which carries on making electrostatic speakers and amplifiers. InnerSound's speakers are now mainly found on the second-hand market. Its work helped show that electrostatic speakers could be dynamic and practical as well as transparent, an approach Sanders continues to champion.

More about InnerSound
Innersound were founded in 1996 and spent the first six years of there existence designing and manufacturing some of the best electrostatic loudspeakers and electrostatic specific power amplifiers of all time. In 2002 Innersound were bought by one of there customers, Gary Leeds who basically did a Remmington, as he liked his Innersound products so much that he bought the company. As a successful businessman and long time Audiophile Gary Leeds had big plans for Innersound, he moved the company to a new state of the art facility in Boulder, Colorado and assembled a team of some of the best audio craftsman. The fruits of this are a new range of electrostatic loudspeakers using new electrostatic panel technology called Ultrastat and a complete range of electronics to partner these speakers.
There is the RCP-1 Reference pre amplifier and the high power DPR Reference power amplifiers that use the new Dynamic Power Reserve technology.
