Elipson, founded in 1938, is the oldest French brand specializing in the manufacture of high-end loudspeakers. Joseph Léon was the true founder of the company and its transformation into acoustics. He created and sculpted the Elipson sound by experimenting in all directions with staff shapes, sound reflectors, spheres, and conches. Joseph Léon (1908-1984) earned professional recognition during the period 1940-1973, equipping the entire ORTF (French Radio and Television Broadcasting Corporation) through his three years of work at the RTF's acoustics laboratories. Elipson also equipped the French pavilion at the 1958 World's Fair. Public recognition came to Elipson after 1967, with the legendary BS404, a 40 cm, two-way sphere speaker that became the ultimate in home hi-fi.
