Audio Authority We're an electronics manufacturer offering in-house design, production, and support.

Mission & Focus

At Audio Authority, we use our expertise in electronic design and manufacturing to create innovative products that solve problems and improve the lives of our customers, associates, and business partners. Our background in music performance and reproduction fuels our passion for inventions that demonstrate the best in sound and video quality for a completely engaging experience. O

ur goal is to become an invaluable business partner by focusing on three key benefits to our customers:

Increased Capability – We must provide distinctively better products and services, with capabilities beyond what our customers can provide for themselves, or obtain from our competitors. Reduced Aggravation - We must assume many of the responsibilities for the important and time-consuming details of accomplishing our customers' goals. We should always be valuable to them and make it easy to do business with us. Reduced Costs - We must provide solutions that achieve our customers’ goals and while saving them time and money. We pursue these goals by providing our associates with an ethical, dynamic work environment where they can realize the nobility of meaningful work, continue to learn and advance their skills, receive tangible appreciation for their contributions, and be accountable for their positive impact on others. We seek customers and business partners who appreciate our respect for confidentiality and the need for front-end collaboration to establish and achieve our mutual goals.

Fifty years is an incredible milestone.

But we're not celebrating the finish line.

We're celebrating a foundation.

From our first speaker comparator in 1976 to today's advanced retail technology, intercom systems, aviation products, and connected solutions, every chapter of our history has prepared us for what's next.

As America enters its 250th year, we're reminded that innovation has always been about looking forward.
Thank you to our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, and friends for making this journey possible.

The technologies will change. The challenges will change.

Our commitment to innovation, quality, partnership, and American manufacturing will not.

Here's to the next chapter.

This year marks an incredible milestone for our founder, Jon Sisk - 50 years in business.

Over the years, Jon has made it a priority to recognize the people who make Audio Authority what it is, celebrating employee milestones and showing genuine appreciation for their dedication and hard work.

This time, we had the opportunity to turn the tables.

As a small token of our gratitude, we surprised Jon with a plaque honoring his 50 years of leadership, service, and commitment to Audio Authority. His vision, integrity, and unwavering care for both our customers and our team have shaped our company for five decades.

Congratulations, Jon, and thank you for the example you've set and the legacy you continue to build. Here's to this remarkable achievement, and to many more years ahead!

Technology has changed dramatically since 1976.

Our purpose hasn't.

At Audio Authority, our mission is to use innovative electronic design and manufacturing to solve problems and improve the lives of our customers, associates, and business partners.

That means creating solutions that help customers:
• Do more.
• Spend less time solving technical problems.
• Save money.
• Build lasting partnerships.

For fifty years we've believed that our greatest product isn't simply the hardware we build.

It's the value we create for the people who rely on us.

That's a mission worth celebrating!

Many manufacturers moved production overseas over the past several decades.

We chose a different path.

For fifty years, Audio Authority has continued designing, building, testing, and supporting our products from our headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky.

Keeping engineering and manufacturing under one roof gives us something that's difficult to outsource:
Better quality
Faster response
Greater flexibility
Closer collaboration with our customers

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we're proud to continue investing in American manufacturing and the people who make it possible every day.

Thank you to every employee, supplier, customer, and partner who has been part of this journey.

Every great innovation begins with a simple question:

"How can we make this better?"

Our very first product—the Model One Speaker Comparator—wasn't created because we wanted to manufacture electronics.

It was created because customers deserved a better way to compare speakers. By matching sound levels automatically, listeners could hear the real differences instead of simply choosing the loudest speaker.

That same philosophy still guides us today.

Whether we're designing retail experiences, drive-up communication systems, aviation ground power equipment, or custom electronics, we begin by understanding the problem—and engineering a better solution.

Innovation isn't about chasing technology.

It's about making technology work better for people.

Another milestone at Audio. Saying goodbye to my friend and long time coworker, Debbie - last day before retirement. I hired her in 1984 fresh out of the Army. She has held various position in our factory. When my now middle-aged sons were just kids, she supervised them working in our business and has some interesting stories about that. She will always be part of the Audio Authority family.

This month we're celebrating a milestone that few companies ever reach.

In 1976, Audio Authority began as a small hi-fi retailer in Lexington, Kentucky. When our founder couldn't find the right equipment to fairly compare speakers, he built it himself.

That first invention launched something much bigger—a company dedicated to solving problems through engineering.

Today, fifty years later, we continue designing and manufacturing innovative technology right here in Kentucky.
As our nation prepares to celebrate America's 250th birthday, we're especially proud to celebrate another milestone rooted in American ingenuity, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship.

Here's to fifty years of innovation—and the next fifty to come!

50 years ago today, Audio Authority Corporation was established as an electronics business in Central Kentucky. In 2 days, we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. So July 2026 is very significant for us. We are so blessed and grateful to live and work in this great land of opportunity.

Sammy and I want to wish our customers, employees, vendors and friends a safe and wonderful July 4th celebration.
