Premium Audio without the premium price

Goodbye overpriced rentals


A2 Audio was originally conceived in 2004 to create access to the high end equipment we wanted at prices that fit within show budget constraints.  By focusing on overpriced or hard to find rental items, we gained access to more and better equipment in the same budget, or the same equipment at a much better price.  Keeping overhead to a minimum allowed us to invest nearly all income to expanding inventory while maintaining nominal prices.  Today, A2 Audio maintains this philosophy focusing on high end equipment at affordable prices.

The right tools for the job

There are two types of tools in the world, the right tool, and the tool you wish were the right tool


Good enough has never been good enough for us.  If it can be done better, it should be.  We pride ourselves in doing things the right way the first time and every time.  Our inventory reflects an appreciation for thoughful engineering and is intended to be exciting to work with and never disappointing or cause for doubt if it will function properly or yield quality results.
