Ultimate Support Systems, Inc. traces its roots to 1977, when company founder, musician and inventor Darrell Schoenig developed an alternative to the existing speaker stands, which were unwieldy and unsightly. His solution, a compact, durable, aluminum stand crafted from parts of a hang-glider, was the prototype for the first in a series of pioneering support stands for speakers. Today, Ultimate Support Systems, Inc. is more user-driven than ever. An exhaustive combination of market research, industry feedback and consumer focus groups precede product development to ensure that the result is the right solution, for the right audience at the right price.
