Introduction
Swan Song Audio was conceived to generate a
Renaissance in the world of music reproduction.
Our aim is to revive the beauty and musicality
from the Golden Age of Audio by producing
modern products that combine beauty of form with
technology.
Our Mission
The focus of Swan Song Audio (SSA) is to
bring high audiophile grade performance to a
broad market of music aficionados. This level of performance is often only available at
a high cost due to the countless hours of tweaking, matching and searching that is not
feasible in a production environment where profit margins drive pricing.
Our Standards
SSA is focused on bringing that special component to the music lover. In order to
do so, our standards insist on the following:
Use high quality parts
Maximize the value each part brings to the music lover’s overall experience
Remove possible failure points
Build all products to endure beyond the original owner
Make the exterior beautiful
In order to assure that our standards are met, we maintain control over the entire
production process. SSA is a US company that designs and builds products in the US.
Component parts are sourced globally, but all construction is completed in a boutiquemanufacturing environment, dedicated solely to SSA. This maintains a high degree of
control and allows customization to meet individual consumer desires.
