I am having problems tracing down New Zealand based loudspeaker manufacturer that sold their products under the Ultimate brand in the 70s and I am still looking for info on defunct English mixer manufacturer Chacadre (sometimes seen it spelled Chacaderance) that also made some reasonable modular synthesisers, it would actually be fun to get background info on M&A company as well, but they made mixer kits (quite good actually) and published DIY tape recorder handbooks as well. There are also brands that I can only find limited information on despite having seen or even owned products by, such as Baume, AIR, Jackson Acoustics and Krting, I am especially interested in knowing why the latter brand showed up on DDR made products in the 80's. Finding information on small loudspeaker companies is in particular giving me headaches, this is not unexpected since this is by far the most common type of a specialised audio company, they are the easiest to set up and the least regulated since their products use only passive electronics and thus do not need type or electrical approval. I am seeking info on any of the small concerns that sprung up in central Europe and Asia Pacific in the 60's, 70's and 80's since it is almost impossible to find any information on them here in the UK due to a fixation by the local audio press on products made in the Anglo-Saxon language sphere. In actuality I would welcome info on any small loudspeaker company anywhere in the world, unlike companies that made electronics these were often funded by owner/operator and can have a lifetime of as little as a couple of years or less, making them easy to miss. If you have any information on any of the company's or products here above and would be willing to share them with us, please be so kind as to get in touch via the address at the bottom of the page.
