As one of Metro New York’s premier audio engineers throughout the last twenty-five years, John Smith has used, serviced and customized just about every piece of equipment on the professional audio market. He learned what worked best, what did not, and most importantly, why. John’s particular expertise with speaker systems — and his uncommonly fine ear — eventually led to the engineering and development of his own cabinet and system designs.

The first Smith Audio subwoofer made its debut in 1991. It was purchased on-the-spot by a DJ who overheard it during an A/B comparison against some of the most renowned subs on the market. This pattern continued with the first Smith Audio loudspeaker in 1993: Whenever industry pros A/B’d Smith Audio, they bought Smith Audio!

The Smith Audio sound was clearly superior to systems priced much higher. Plus, the cabinets were lighter and more compact, they required far less drive wattage per dB, and there was no extraneous vibration or noise coming from the cabinet sides or back. DJ’s called and club installations followed.

John spent the next eight years making every possible improvement in sound, power, durability, and customer support. Adapting new advances in computerized audio design, he developed enclosures that controlled and optimized sound duplication to a degree never before achieved, with design tolerances as fine as 1/64 of an inch. He custom matched each cabinet to its component soulmates, including crossovers specially designed by Smith Audio. He protected each cabinet with the toughest overcoat in the industry. And he put together an experienced design, manufacturing and support team; one that readily meets the needs of the rapidly expanding customer base for today’s line of Smith Audio loudspeakers and subwoofers.

Now any audio application can get the purest sound duplication possible—from crystal-clear highs to bone-shaking lows, and everything in between.
