About Us

From Output to De-Fi

MUSICIANS DESERVE BETTER.

De-Fi was born from a simple idea: musicians deserve better than cheap particle board furniture. Originally the hardware arm of Output, the same team that is now De-Fi set out to build studio furniture that feels as inspiring as the music made on it.

Led by musicians and co-founders J.C. Sutherland and Evan Adams who led the hardware division at Output, De-Fi has become known for blending Scandinavian-inspired minimalism with the practical workflow musicians need. Every curve, material choice, and finish is deliberate, engineered to elevate the creative process.

our design philosophy

Tools that are both beautiful and functional make better art.

De-Fi Platform and Sidecar in Music Studio

Platform

The flagship product, Platform, is crafted from real wood, without compromise, to be the focal point of your studio in look and functionality.

Platform, Sidecar and Stands have become the studio standard centerpieces on production teams for artists ranging from Beyonce, Katy Perry, Mariah Carey and Rihanna to the teams behind the soundtracks for Stranger Things and Rick & Morty. They have been used to showcase multiple Apple product launches as well as other major audio industry product releases.

Frontier

We took our design ethos into the studio monitor market by partnering with Barefoot Sound to create Frontier, the best looking studio monitors in the world, with sound to match.

Eco Acoustic Panels

Eco Acoustic Treatment

We turned recycled plastic into effective acoustic treatment, designing in specific air gaps to get equivalent performance to thick panels from a sleek thin design, with real walnut accents.

De-Fi’s team and consultants are not only musicians, but have worked on products and initiatives for professional audio stalwarts such as Avid Technology, Keith McMillan Instruments, M-Audio, Akai Professional, Universal Audio, Pearl Drums and other industry leaders including the Ford Motor Company and Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

De-Fi is based in Southern California.
