In 1958, Alex Encel read a magazine article about the advent of stereo, and subsequently assembled an amplifier and pair of speakers by hand. Soon after, he would hold the first demonstration of two-channel music in Australia. This new hobby soon turned into a successful business, and grew through the ‘70s and ‘80s into a leading retail and wholesale operation. Today, the spirit of Alex's original goals endure, taking the shape of an expanding range of hifi products to suit modern customers. Based in Melbourne, still family-run and with branding collaborations using local Australian artists, Encel products are built with an eye to sustainability, design and great sound.

King Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson (whose nickname hailed from his rotten tooth) was known for uniting Denmark & Norway during the Viking age.

Today, Harald is the crowning point for wirelessly uniting devices & streaming music via Bluetooth.

The Harald Bluetooth receiver streams the highest quality Bluetooth audio wirelessly from your phone or laptop to any music system or powered speakers.

Built to last, the Harald Bluetooth receiver is cocooned in an aluminium chassis to minimise any resonant frequencies.

Equipped with both line level analogue RCA & digital optical outputs, Harald uses high-end Qualcomm® aptX™ HD, aptX™ LL, aptX™ and AAC audio streaming codecs via Bluetooth 5.0 through an audiophile grade DAC to unleash all the clarity, crispness and full emotional impact your Hi-Fi stereo system can deliver.
