SPL Tools has been the innovative force in sound measurement, recording and analysis since 2011.

About us teaser image

2011

The idea

At a festival with more than 20 measurement points and manual data readout, the idea was born: a platform on which all measurement points could be viewed in real time – SPL Cloud GmbH was born.

2012

First cloud

Our first cloud goes online – at a time when cloud solutions in the industry were still uncharted territory. Existing measuring devices from third-party manufacturers can be connected via our cloud client. The focus from day one: simple and clear.

2017

First end-to-end solution

The desire for more control over the entire signal chain leads to our first end-to-end solution: a measurement client that combines measurement microphone and data transmission, an external LED display, and a new generation of the cloud. The devices and cloud infrastructure are rented out to our partner companies through us.

2019

The Leveler

Our end-to-end solution is supplemented by a Leveler. Thanks to innovative algorithms, the volume is adjusted musically – completely without limiters or compression.

2023

Current end-to-end solution

With the S1 measurement sensor and the SPL Sense software, we launch our first sales solution on the market. The same year sees the third generation of our cloud. The possibilities of our hardware and software are continuously extended and expanded.

2023

Sales launch in Switzerland

With SDS Music Factory AG we have found a professional distributor for the Swiss market. What once began as an internal tool is now accessible to everyone – our solution finds its way into the wider market.

2026

Sales launch in Germany

After our solution has become established in Switzerland, we are launching distribution in Germany. With Babbel & Haeger GmbH we have gained a renowned distributor for the German market.

2026

SPL Cloud GmbH becomes SPL Tools GmbH

Founded as one of the first providers of cloud solutions for measurement data, we now offer you a seamless end-to-end solution – from the hardware to the software to the cloud. The rename to SPL Tools GmbH is therefore a logical step: it shows you what we stand for – everything from a single source, easily integrated and ready for your requirements of tomorrow.

Our strengths

Everything from a single source

From the hardware to the software to the cloud – we develop and take responsibility for the entire signal chain ourselves. That means maximum control, minimal sources of error, and a system that is perfectly matched.

Simplicity as a principle

Since day one, ease of use has been at the heart of what we do. Our solutions are designed to work intuitively in the hectic everyday life of an event – without lengthy onboarding.

Music in focus

Loudness control doesn’t have to come at the cost of sound. We rely on intelligent solutions that adapt to the music – not the other way around. The music stays the way it was intended.

Grown out of practice

Our products are born from real dialogue – we listen to our customers and develop precisely what is needed in practice. At the same time, we consistently rely on modern web and software technologies in order to always keep our solution up to date.
