Who We Are...
Buzz Audio Ltd is a New Zealand based manufacturer of professional
analog audio products. The products we produce are primarily aimed
for use within the music recording and audio post production industries.

Our Philosophy...
The products you will find within these pages reflect our goal to
provide the end user with a unit that not only sounds great, but one
that will last for many years. First and foremost we endeavour to
make pieces that are original in concept and not renditions of products
from the past. Within each of our products you will find clever design,
a high standard of workmanship by a dedicated team and excellent future
serviceability.
All our products are hand assembled
using quality non-surface-mount components that, if the need ever
arises, can be easily replaced. Many of the units here have taken
years to develop and fine tune for the specific tasks that face the
recording engineer on a daily basis. For example, the MA2.2 Class
A mic preamp has gathered an enviable reputation as one of the finest
mic preamps for recording acoustic guitar.
Along with the high quality
of our products comes our dedication to customer service. We enjoy
and welcome feedback from our users and will always respond promptly
to any problem that may arise - even if the factory warranty has expired
- you will not find a closed door at our email address.
A Brief History...
Buzz Audio was formed in 1985 by Tim Farrant, the company was initially
set up to provide technical services to New Zealand audio professionals
and continues to do so. Tim's background in electronics, live sound
engineering and later studio engineering led to the development of
the companys first product, the True Class A MA-2 microphone preamplifier
(now MA-2.2). The MA2 was well received by a handful of well known
US engineers back in 1993 and this prompted Tim to continue to develop
new products with an emphasis on innovative electronic design. Today
the company continues to grow and aims to become a household name
within the international recording industry.
