Summit Audio Company History

The original TLA-100 Tube Leveler

Summit Audio's journey began in 1979 with our first forays into the world of audio engineering, gaining us key knowledge of customer's needs and the elements of audio science. In 1985 this journey resulted in the TLA-100 (pictured), the first product manufactured by Summit Audio. This quickly evolved into the iconic TLA-100A which has now been manufactured unchanged for over twenty years, imprinting its sonic signature on countless songs and albums to become a familiar and cherished tone sought after by engineers and loved by music fans.

These first steps have shaped our continuing journey and as we evolve with the dynamic world of audio, we still stick to our basic traditions of solid reliability, precise manufacturing and integrity in everything we do.

Each Summit Audio product is crafted in the United States to the most exacting standards, utilizing human ears in addition to the best available test equipment along with years of combined experience and customer input. We continually strive to create and develop the best sounding and most reliable equipment in the world.

During our journey, we have been fortunate to meet and serve many truly amazing people, which serves to remind us why we are here and why we continue on this journey. All of us at Summit Audio thank you for your continued support, and if you have not had an experience with us yet, Join Us!
