Scandalous!

I started to distribute for Meyer Sound in Vietnam for one simple reason. All the gears are built in the good US of A. Yes, I visited the plan during my day as the student as part of a field trip, and recently. Their quality controls are amazing; there were almost 30 stations as the product move from A to Z.

There were other products for live sound enforcement such as JBL, AEW, and new to the market such as SLS with their smooth ribon driven mid. I discounted SLS due to the tropical environment in Vietnam effect on ribon cones. JBL flooded the market in Vietnam but their gears are being put together in China and then either distribute thru Singapore or Thailand. In my experience with JBL in Vietnam, as each of the gears reach from one stage to the other before Vietnam, "the interior" of the piece has an 85% chance of being replace by a copy or cheap Chinese made part, yes sir! a Chinese copy of a Chinese made part.

The one still in competition with real USA made live sound speaker system is Eastern Acoustic Works or most of us known as EAW. Well no more, it turn out the company had been sneaking all their part from China and put everything together here in the US.
Now the words are out so EAW just pick up and totally move to Asia, suspectingly China.

Well there is nothing wrong with Chinese made stuffs like "egg foo young" or stir fried veg., but have you ever buy any proaudio gears knowingly that they came from China? Me either.

My mission in Vietnam is to change every single live sound system from JBL to Meyer for this reason alone. So far so good.
