About Exogal

Exogal was founded in 2013 by audio industry veterans who innovated for the some of the biggest names in the industry. The founders - Jim Kinne, Larry Jacoby, Jan Larsen and Jeff Haagenstad - came together around a shared vision to create products that are - as our name implies - "out of this galaxy." We do this by taking a completely new approach to product engineering to create products that are aesthetically beautiful and that produce extraordinary sound at a fraction of the cost of typical high-end audio systems.

Our design philosophy is to create products that provide for an optimal listening experience in our customers' everyday lives, not just in the labs under ideal test conditions. Keeping our sourcing and manufacturing close to our Minnesota headquarters shortens design-to-manufacturing times and allows us to get to market more quickly with bold new products.

All Exogal audio products use open protocols and interfaces, which allow you to play your music no matter where you bought it or where the music stream originates.
