About Us

Sound Devices is one of the most innovative and well connected Music and Pro Audio retailers in Australia. We specialise in latest technology recording & studio equipment on the market and only deal with brands we know and trust. We've been serving Australia's music & film industry since the early 90s, for many years at our old Sussex Street store in Sydney City. 

 

In 2013, Sound Devices re-joined The Guitar Factory Group at the legendary 255 Church Street, Parramatta store. We are again part of The Guitar Factory Australia Pty Ltd which trades as Sound Devices, Guitar Factory and Drum Factory. Sound Devices, Guitar Factory and Drum Factory, serving all your popular musical instrument requirements as well as your professional recording and PA needs under one roof.


Our expertise has been gained through the vast experience of installing thousands of digital audio & MIDI systems over the past nearly thirty years. We were the first music distributor in New South Wales to be appointed an Apple Macintosh Computer Reseller, and hence can offer you the best Mac/Music/Pro Audio deals with unparalleled after sales support.
