Audio Authority

Many manufacturers moved production overseas over the past several decades.

We chose a different path.

For fifty years, Audio Authority has continued designing, building, testing, and supporting our products from our headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky.

Keeping engineering and manufacturing under one roof gives us something that's difficult to outsource:
Better quality
Faster response
Greater flexibility
Closer collaboration with our customers

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we're proud to continue investing in American manufacturing and the people who make it possible every day.

Thank you to every employee, supplier, customer, and partner who has been part of this journey.

Every great innovation begins with a simple question:

"How can we make this better?"

Our very first product—the Model One Speaker Comparator—wasn't created because we wanted to manufacture electronics.

It was created because customers deserved a better way to compare speakers. By matching sound levels automatically, listeners could hear the real differences instead of simply choosing the loudest speaker.

That same philosophy still guides us today.

Whether we're designing retail experiences, drive-up communication systems, aviation ground power equipment, or custom electronics, we begin by understanding the problem—and engineering a better solution.

Innovation isn't about chasing technology.

It's about making technology work better for people.

50 years ago today, Audio Authority Corporation was established as an electronics business in Central Kentucky. In 2 days, we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. So July 2026 is very significant for us. We are so blessed and grateful to live and work in this great land of opportunity.

Sammy and I want to wish our customers, employees, vendors and friends a safe and wonderful July 4th celebration.

This Memorial Day, all of us at Audio Authority honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As a proud U.S. manufacturer for 50 years, we are grateful for the freedoms their sacrifice has protected. From our home in Kentucky, we’ve remained committed to American innovation and manufacturing since 1976.

As we look ahead to celebrating America’s 250th birthday, we’re proud to continue building products in the USA and supporting the values that make this country strong.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
