We manufacture a range of boutique analog audio tools for recording musicians and professional recording engineers. All our products feature new innovative designs intended to advance recording technology, and are not clones or copies of units from the past. All Buzz Audio products are hand assembled in New Zealand by a skilled team using high quality serviceable components that will last for many years.

Our philosophy is that audio recordings should be as close as possible to the original sound without excessive coloration. If material is captured in this way, it is more easily manipulated to the sound you desire under controlled conditions in the mixing process. In other words, it's easy to add colouration but near impossible to remove it. For this reason, you will discover that our mic preamplifiers offer very high performance with little colouration, but in contrast we also provide tools that can be used to process the captured sounds.

So, we offer you a NEW experience in analogue recording technology and a future of GREAT recordings!
