For all of us at Arvus 2024 started on a huge high as we were excited to be delivering the H1-D in Q1 while also celebrating 40 years of business, however, as the year progressed; increasing supply chain delays and technical challenges while we were in the middle of also making complete upgrade to our internal operational systems, meant the year became ever more challenging finishing with the toughest last quarter of my business career to date.
I am personally very happy to be in 2025 and genuinely excited to be updating you all on recent positive progress.
2024 was not all challenges though, sales of the H2-4D continued to be strong, and both the AES-2H and HDMI-2A seem to consistently sell, with each now into their 13th year on market, plus development of upcoming non-digital products and new market partnerships progressed well.
The continuing H1-D challenges were not fun though, but we were recommended by many clients to continue development as the market really needs the H1-D and would do for many years. As we were undergoing many internal changes we had times where we failed to respond as required to some clients' challenges meant that not all clients had a good experience with Arvus last year. For this I would like to acknowledge these extra-patient people and apologise for the stress we caused them.
2025 is going to be a year of re-invention of Arvus while building upon the core technologies, principles and insights developed over the past 4 decades. We are thus planning to expand our team, looking for innovative engineers and people with unique perspectives on audio and how it can be applied to this exciting time of change.
Another update including some interesting personal insights on the audio industry, the new trends and opportunities will shared in early February.
Wishing you all an exciting and fruitful 2025.
Kind regards
Matthew.
