"π" is a federally registered trademark in America. There are a lot of things I liked about the company name. The first thing was the number of times I used "π" in formulas to calculate things when building loudspeakers. It's used in the reactive formulas for the crossovers. It's used to calculate resonance of the cabinet. It's used to describe radiation angle. It's used to calculate cross-section areas of speakers and horns. It's just used everywhere. Another thing was that in Greek or Russian, it's the first letter of my last (фамилия) name. And being a transcendental number, I was always just fascinated by it. It has an almost magical quality, and I always liked mathematical concepts like that.
