Cornwall-based audio design firm, Union Audio, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, marking the occasion with a limited edition gold version of ten of its flagship orbit.6 rotary mixer.
Beginning his audio career on the assembly line of Allen & Heath, and with a passion for DJing, Andy Rigby-Jones had devised the beginnings of Allen & Heath’s first DJ mixer before founding Union Audio in 2014. He led the successful A&H Xone range for 14 years, producing industry standard iconic mixers such as the Xone:92.
He formed Union Audio with leading names in the DJ and sound reproduction field, including Richie Hawtin’s Play differently, MasterSounds Audio and TPI. In 2022 the company reached a major milestone with the release of the first own brand product, the orbit.6 six-channel rack-mounted analogue rotary mixer, followed a year later by the compact linear four-channel elara.4.
‘Put simply, our aim at Union Audio is to provide an elite range of analogue mixing products, meticulously engineered to meet the aspirations of audiophile DJ and vinyl lovers, explains Rigby-Jones. ‘I am very proud of all we have achieved so far, the workplace we have created, and most importantly, the joy and passion we have inspired in DJs and home studio enthusiasts around the globe. To date, Union Audio has manufactured over 6,000 mixers and audio accessories, not bad for a company founded in my garden shed.’
