These products have received several international awards and positive feedbacks from the press. Making products similar or equal to those already existing on the market does not fit to Pathos philosophy: every unit planned and manufactured by Pathos must enclose technological innovation, (not innovation as technical exercise!) but something able to offer real advantages for the fulfilment of the early aim: “faithful reproduction of music”.Īt the moment Pathos is known and appreciated worldwide – as a manufacturer of high quality amplifiers. The Pathos approach to the reproduction of music does not know dogmas or rules, but the goal is clear: to reproduce music in the most authentic way. The PHILOSOPHY that accompanies Pathos brand, "the unorthodox approach", effectively created the benchmark of the business philosophy. Pathos was therefore founded in the knowledge, that there is enough space for those who have something authentically new to introduce, in that exciting search for the maximum fidelity in the reproduction of music. The hi-fi industry needed somebody who dared to follow “the unorthodox approach”. But for sure there was – and there is – enough space for a brand offering innovative solutions and extraordinary designs. The audio branch is notoriously known by the presence of thousands of brands, it is a small and hard business. The Pathos company was born, but it was not an easy release, considering the market in which it was going to work. Unique products deserve unique treatment. Only the finest selected components are used to ensure a peerless quality all products are taken through a careful test-program to guarantee their quality. All Pathos products are hand made in Vicenza (Italy) by following a long tradition of Italian craftsmanship.

Sometimes it is better to listen with your eyes open. Just a look at a Pathos product is enough to make the customer feel, that he/she purchased something exclusive. Pathos products speak to many of our senses – anyone can appreciate them every day. Through the years the idea “uglier they look and better they sound” has been pretty common within the audio business. Along with the technical innovation, the design and high finish of the products are very important as well. Gaetano started up the production, making no compromises on components and materials. One of the few hi-fi classics of its time – a living legend. – hailed by many to be the most beautiful amplifier ever produced. Paolo, who has a passion for industrial design, started to create the look. INPOL is Pathos property and the circuit holds a Worldwide Patent. In other words, Pathos was born in order to develop and to spread a new amplification circuit called INPOL (Inseguitore a Pompa Lineare = Linear Pump Tracker). Doubts were first instilled, but this amplifier was too good not to be produced. At first the three pioneers thought that the amplifier they used as reference was broken - but the fact of the matter was the new circuit provided outstanding sonic performances, straight from the very first prototype. So they manufactured the very first prototype as Gaetano owned a high-end shop in Vicenza, they had the best possibilities for testing and benchmarking. Gianni Borinato had an idea of a new amplifier circuit and he asked his two friends Paolo Andriolo and Gaetano Zanini to help him exploring the opportunities of this technology. Pathos story started in 1994 by a "coincidence". Highly technological, and with designs and sound that leave no doubt – these products offers something absolutely unique. Pathos combines past, present and future, making hi-fi jewellery small monuments. This city still promotes innovation and invention just as it was used to at the time of Palladio. Today the focus in the area is on metal production, jewellery and fashion. The tradition of making something outstanding has continued since the days of Palladio. A sophisticated city in northern Italy, famous for its great monuments designed by architect Andrea Palladio. Pathos Acoustics was founded in 1994 by three Italian pioneers: Gaetano Zanini, Gianni Borinato and Paolo Andriolo, in the Italian city of Vicenza.
