[two_third first]ZON Audio
Industrial Design, CAID & ME, Rapid Prototyping
Incredible sound and a collaboration years in the making. Rooted in a strong sense of audio history with IMAX and museum sound, ZON Audio’s founder Lynn McCroskey again looked to InnoWorks when launching his new venture to create its first high-end audio consumer based product.
The program defined the ‘design language’ that expressed the power and sophistication of the audio experience, function and intuitive interaction for all of its future products, and communicated the ZON Audio persona to the world – reflecting the founders’ appreciation of great design. The result was not only a product with immediate market success, but a line receiving critical acclaim internationally including CE Pro ‘Innovator of the Year’ (beating Microsoft and Sony for top honors), 2003 CEA Mark of Excellence, 2006 CES Innovations Award, and was featured in the Southern Living Idea House.
“. . . the fact that we also won Innovator of the Year is a tribute to the entire team that developed the ZON concept and the digital whole house audio system”. ZON Audio CEO

His Roots
A dreamer at heart, consulting has been the lifeblood for Covault’s career, starting on his own at 26, building two award winning firms his award winning work has spanned both companies. From its early foundation, InnoWorks was conceived as a creative venture embodying two personalities, one consulting the other entrepreneurial ventures, to help launch innovations to market. Over a 20+ year career his accomplishments as a strategic innovator, an industrial designer, and a brand creating entrepreneur have given him the opportunity to seek out companies wanting to establish and enhance their strategic brand identities, and expand into new ventures.
“I have always believed products should convey their underlying function through Product Semantics, while projecting a design aesthetic eliciting an emotional response that builds brand loyalty”.
Design Inspired Emotion.
