Where is Audio Gear Made?
If you are looking to purchase audio gear manufactured in a specific location this list should help you out. I am working on compiling a list of audio gear and where it is manufactured to help you make a more informed purchasing decision. This information is based on the information provided by the company on the products. I am not able to vet the factory conditions of any manufacturer so I cannot vouch for that. I can only report what is currently publicly available.
If you are a company and would like to submit a list of your gear and where it is manufactured, feel free to use the form at the bottom of the page or send an e-mail to contact [at] podcastage [dot] com with “Audio Gear Manufacturing Location” in the subject line.
