Dingdong Audio officially signed a contract with Augspurger, the top monitor manufacturer in the United States, and became the general agent of Augspurger in Greater China, responsible for the promotion, sales, technical support and after-sales service of Augspurger products in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau.
About Augspurger
In 1999, a well-known New York studio, Unique Recording, approached Boston-based professional audio systems consultant Dave Malekpour for a new master monitor system. Unique needed to be able to provide engineers and producers with an accurate and high-quality soundstage, and so was born the first Augspurger system designed by George Augspurger himself, built and installed by Malekpour.
George Augspurger, who designed many legendary studios in the 70s and 80s, is known for custom monitoring systems around which the rest of the studio was designed.
Since then, Malekpour and his team have made and installed hundreds of pairs of augspurger-based listeners. They can be found in most of the top studios in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami, including Jungle City, Quad Studios, Hit Factory, Sony, MSR Recording, Dave Pensado’s FabFactory, Rafa Sardina’s Afterhours and many others .
In 2012, Dave Malekpour founded the Augspurger professional monitor brand as a manufacturing company focused on studio reference monitors. The full range of active & DSP powered “SMART” monitors are based on the original Augspurgers design. With the continuous innovation of products to meet the expanding needs of the studio.
In the decades since Augspurgers’ original design was completed, Augspurgers has continued to refine and update its professional monitoring system, including the use of custom amplifiers and a custom beryllium diaphragm.
In 2018, Augspurger Power introduced an all-new rack-mountable Class-D audio amplifier, bringing more power and a lower-noise DSP, again pushing the limits of performance.
Malekpour, Augspurger’s lead tuning technician, personally tunes every Augspurger system sold, then stores the perfect “curve” in the system’s memory. Allow customers to freely customize the sound playback environment they like.
