Loudspeaker cabinets on an assembly workbench

Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW) has moved assembly of its MKD installation loudspeakers in-house at its headquarters in Whitinsville, Massachusetts.

Key details

  • The assembly space came online in November 2020, starting with the new MKD1200 Series.
  • It also handles customization of the QX and MK lines.
  • The 226-square-meter space has two assembly stations and also houses quality control and testing.
  • EAW says final assembly in Massachusetts lets it respond faster, carry less inventory and save on shipping.

“EAW is proud to once again be assembling product in the US and is looking at additional lines that would be a good fit for the new assembly space.”
