Madisound Speaker Components

Ownership

Madisound began as a small franchise of Lafayette Radio Electronics Corporation, established in 1972 by Lawrence Hitch in Madison Wisconsin USA. In 2001, Madisound reorganized as an S-Corporation giving the employees joint-ownership. The business is employee-owned rather than individually owned, but was founded locally.

Local Sourcing

Madisound carries drivers from leading manufacturers, including SEAS, Scan-Speak, SB Acoustics, Fostex, Markaudio, Morel, and Dayton Audio. They import from Markaudio Loudspeakers Limited based in Hong Kong S.A.R. Products are sourced from global suppliers rather than local/regional sources.

Community Involvement

Madisound became an official sponsor of Home Theater Shack, indicating some community involvement. However, no evidence of deep ties to Madison schools, nonprofits, or major local sponsorships was found in the search results.

Local Workforce

Customer reviews mention positive interactions with knowledgeable staff and an employee who is described as "completely honest, deeply knowledgeable and very helpful." Reviews also reference "top-rated customer service," though there is limited information about wages, benefits, or long-term tenure specifics.

Revenue Retention

Madisound is a global distributor of audiophile-quality loudspeaker parts since 1972. While the business is based in Wisconsin and has employee ownership, it appears to derive significant revenue from global sales rather than primarily serving the local community.
