Noël Lee

Noël Lee is an American entrepreneur and audio engineer, best known as the founder of Monster Inc. (formerly Monster Cable Products). He is widely recognized for pioneering the high-end audio cable industry and for significantly impacting the way audio and video cables are marketed and perceived.

Lee founded Monster Cable in 1979, initially focusing on creating higher-quality speaker cables than those typically bundled with audio equipment.
