Duomondi Appoints Robert Winterhoff as General Manager of Sales, Marketing & Strategic Partnerships

Duomondi, a new Italian-German venture entering the market with a unique range of wireless speakers, announced the appointment of Robert Winterhoff as General Manager of Sales, Marketing & Strategic Partnerships. Winterhoff brings over 30 years of experience with storied names such as Harman International, Beyerdynamic, IAH, and Ultrasone AG. His appointment signals a defining moment in Duomondi’s ambition to redefine a category in architectural audio.
 

Robert Winterhoff extensive experience in the audio industry allows him to understand how to better position what could originally be seen as an intriguing design object, into a concept that could redefine a category. “Duomondi isn’t just a brand — it’s a vision of the future,” he says. “A vision that sound can be seen, felt, and lived. I’m honored to help shape a future where audio becomes emotional architecture.”

Duomondi is an Italian-German acoustics house that is determined to explore opportunities in residential and architectural audio with a product concept that retrieves the valuable lessons from portable and smart speakers, and simultaneously draws inspiration from upscale or luxury design concepts. Rooted beneath the Italian Alps and refined in Milanese ateliers, Duomondi’s inspiration merges Renaissance artistry with German precision, forging a bold new design language: Where Sound Shapes Space.

 

“With creative studios in Milan, Hong Kong, and Melbourne, Duomondi operates at the intersection of acoustics, aesthetics, and atmosphere. This is not just audio; it’s intention, embodied in space,” the company describes in its promotional materials. These ambitions are materialized in the SPERO series of wireless speakers, a collection of three progressively scaled cubes that reimagine speakers as presence. Each piece combines a tridimensional, omnidirectional speaker with user-programable and ambient-responsive lighting strips that help enhance the object’s presence.

The results of global collaboration, combining Italian artistry, German engineering and Hong Kong ingenuity, the Duomondi SPERO speakers can be seamlessly integrated into modern environments with personalized, real-time responsiveness. The concept was co-engineered with K-array, the Italian residential and installation audio specialist know for its uniquely shaped speakers. The result is realized in the compact SPERO 10, the midsized SPERO 16, a minimalist object that can already fill spaces outside of the home, and the larger 100 watts SPERO 24, “The Maestro,” built for immersive spaces that demand both depth and design.

 

Each speaker is crafted using sustainable materials, including recycled aluminum and biodegradable packaging and Tuscan textiles in the user-replaceable covers. The three models are fitted with two full-range drivers mounted on the front top surfaces, generating maximum stereo impressions as left and right channels when in single speaker mode, complemented by two force-canceling subwoofers on the top and bottom of the SPERO. All three models can be configured as a true wireless stereo pair and offer sound reactive lighting with different lighting modes. The midsized SPERO 16 and the smaller SPERO 10 are battery-powered with 12 and 8 hours of playtime when in portable mode.

Winterhoff’s mission is now centered on taking the brand concept to the market, expanding into luxury hospitality, establishing partnerships with design-forward retail, and fostering collaborations in architecture and cultural institutions. “He brings a legacy of building ecosystems around visionary products, and turning sound into experience and experience into cultural capital,” the Duomondi leadership team states. “Robert brings more than leadership — he brings vision. He understands that innovation isn’t just functional, it’s emotional. And great design doesn’t interrupt. It resonates.”

In 2025, Duomondi is already planning to promote its evolving vision with architects and interior designers, planning to showcase these products at events such as Interior Lifestyle Tokyo, Design Show Australia, and StereoNET Hi-Fi Show Melbourne
