The story of MastersounD is deeply rooted in the passion and craftsmanship of its founders, and it has evolved significantly under the leadership of Antonio Ferro, the current CEO.
A Rich Legacy of Craftsmanship
MastersounD’s origins trace back to the 1950s, with Cesare Sanavio’s pioneering work on output transformers. This legacy is carried forward by his son Luciano, who continues to refine the transformer design to ensure optimal performance. Each amplifier is meticulously handcrafted using the finest components built from scratch to meet the company’s exacting standards.

At the heart of MastersounD’s amplifiers lies its innovative output transformer technology. Through continuous research and development, the company employs thicker wire and fewer turns to achieve greater efficiency and speed. The result is an amplifier that delivers exceptional performance and durability with minimal stress on the tubes.
A Vision for the Future
As the company approaches its 30th anniversary, Luciano Sanavio remains committed to pushing the boundaries of audio technology. MastersounD’s mission is clear: to create amplifiers that deliver unparalleled performance, ensuring every listener experiences pure, natural sound.
Within the confines of its laboratory in Arcugnano, Italy, MastersounD’s seasoned artisans meticulously craft each amplifier with unwavering attention to detail. This process involves carefully selecting and assembling the finest components, resulting in distinctive handcrafted masterpieces designed to stand the test of time.

With its 30th anniversary on the horizon, Luciano Sanavio and his team continue to steer MastersounD in redefining audio excellence. The brand’s mission remains clear: to craft amplifiers that set new benchmarks in performance, delivering an authentic and immersive listening experience for all.
An integral aspect of crafting exceptional valve amplifiers lies in the production of the output transformer, the beating heart of any amplifier. MastersounD’s output transformers are individually hand-wound using a mechanical winding machine in-house. This process, rooted in the passion, experience, and research of the late Cesare Sanavio, has been elevated to new heights by his son, Luciano Sanavio. Luciano has not only preserved this tradition but also pioneered an exclusive transformer construction technique, unique to MastersounD amplifiers.
