Not designed.
Engineered.
I·ctra is an engineering company devoted to music. We investigate how mechanical energy travels through materials and structures, and how each connection influences their behaviour.
Numerical simulation and physical testing guide the geometry, materials and construction of our products. From our racks to SILENCER and PULSE, each product takes shape through this process. Its form reveals the engineering within.
