Loud Technologies, Inc.

Company Profile

LOUD Audio, LLC is a professional audio company based in the United States, operating in the U.S., Canada, and China. Originally known as Mackie Designs, Inc., the name was changed to Loud Technologies in 2003 to differentiate the larger company from their founding subsidiary, mixing console manufacturer Mackie. Between 2003 and 2018, LOUD Technologies owned or distributed several music instrument and pro audio product brands. Transom Capital acquired the company in October 2017, renaming it LOUD Audio, LLC and divesting most brands to focus more exclusively on their core Mackie business. Greg Mackie founded Mackie Designs, Inc. in 1988, following the success of his first two professional audio equipment companies, TAPCO and AudioControl. Focused on the goal of producing a reasonably-priced high-quality mixer, he produced the company's first product, the LM-1602, in his three bedroom condominium in Edmonds, Washington.
