About PK Sound
PK Sound is an owner-operated loudspeaker manufacturer proudly headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and servicing the world. We pride ourselves on being a fresh alternative to the status quo, providing creative and innovative solutions in an ever-evolving marketplace.
It is one thing to hear music; it is another to experience it. PK Sound was born from the marriage of acoustic engineering and human emotion in facilitation of the connection between artist and fan. We measure performance as much in the reaction of a devoted fan as in the read-out of a lab instrument. In all we do, wherever the PK logo appears, there can be no compromise, and no end in our desire to achieve new standards of performance, better means of collaboration, and new avenues of innovation to advance industry technology for all.
There is no doubt we work hard, but we share in our collective success and have a lot of fun doing it. If you are looking for a company with an amazing brand, industry-changing technology, an exceptional workplace environment, and that is poised to aggressively grow on the global market, this job is for you!
