Default Grado Facility Tour

I lurk on here quite a bit, but figured you guys would like these pics since I haven't seen any recent ones.



We were lucky enough to take a tour of the Grado Labs facility in Brooklyn, New York last week. Grado Labs is one of the oldest family owned companies in the audio industry and their headphones and phono cartridges are world renowned. John Grado and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and just a great group of down to earth people.

All of Grado's products are still proudly made in the USA (with the exception of the iGrado).


John Chapais (Chief Engineer and VP of Grado) working in the heart of the Grado facility.
