Redback Audio Products
100% developed, designed & assembled in Australia.
Since 1976 we have been manufacturing Redback ampliers in Perth, Western Australia. With over 40 years experience
in the commercial audio industry, we offer consultants, installers and end users reliable products of high build quality with
local product support. We believe there is signicant added value for customers when purchasing an Australian made
Redback amplier or PA product.
Local support & feedback.
Our best product features come as a direct result of feedback from our customers, and when you call us, you speak to a
real person - no recorded messages, call centres or automated push button options.
Industry leading 10 year warranty.
There’s a reason we have the industry leading DECADE warranty. It’s because of a long tried and tested history of bullet-
proof reliability. We’ve heard PA contractors tell us they still see the original Redford amplier still in service in schools.
We offer this comprehensive parts & labour warranty on almost every Australian Made Redback public address product.
This offers both installers and end users peace of mind that they will receive prompt local servicing in the rare event of any
problems.
You may be surprised to learn that Redback is still manufacturing hundreds of product lines right here in Australia. We
have resisted the move offshore by offering our customers better quality products with innovations to save them time and
money.
It’s not only the assembly team at Redback who are employed as a direct result of your purchase, but hundreds more at
local companies used in the supply chain.
