Wheatstone
has provided professional audio for three decades earning the
reputation of one of the world's top audio manufacturers. Wheatstone
Corporation designs and
manufactures professional broadcast audio equipment under the
WHEATSTONE, AUDIOARTS ENGINEERING,
VORSIS, and COMMERCIAL AUDIO brand
names
The Early Days
Beginning as Audioarts Engineering in 1974, the
company manufactured audio consoles for recording studios and sound
touring companies under the Wheatstone trademark, and audio processing
(limiters, equalizers, crossovers, etc.) under its own name. The
company incorporated in 1981 as Wheatstone Corporation in the state of
Connecticut at the Grey Barn production site and entered the
broadcast market.
Audio Consoles for Broadcast
Targeting the high-end
console market was compatible with the quality standards previously
set, and the corporation quickly established a reputation for quality
equipment at fair prices. It has built broadcast consoles since 1981.
Syracuse Facility
Growth caused the company to seek new quarters in 1986, and Wheatstone
moved to Syracuse, NY. This move allowed the company to utilize the
large electronics industry workforce in that city. The company
continued to expand its product line, moving into the television
market, as well as downward into the small radio market.
New Headquarters in NC
In
1998 Wheatstone relocated to its state-of-the-art, 52,000 square foot
facility in New Bern,
NC. The turn key operation has a workforce of almost 100 employees.
Wheatstone Corporation manufactures digital control surfaces, digital
audio
networks, AOIP automation audio and control interfaces, digital signal
processors along with studio furniture and accessories.
New Divisions and New Directions
In 2005 the company decided to
return to its early roots in signal processing with the launch of the
award winning Vorsis line of signal processors. In 2007 Wheatstone
created a new Commercial Audio division geared towards live audio and
installed sound applications.
The Future of Wheatstone Audio
The
company continues to develop new products in
response to market needs, as well as adding and improving its present
line. Wheatstone is a growing, dynamic international company that is
financially solid; its success is a tribute to its unique philosophy
founded on exemplary audio quality, craftmanship and value.
