MISCO Celebrates 75 Years of Speaker Manufacturing and Audio Innovation

MISCO Speaker Company is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Founded in 1949 as Minneapolis Speaker Company (MISCO) by World War II veteran, Cliff Digre and his wife, Bernice, MISCO has remained a family owned business, now helmed by the founders’ son, Dan Digre, who has driven the company forward through decades of technological advancements and market expansion. MISCO stands as a US-based, pioneering force in the audio industry, manufacturing speakers and audio systems for OEM customers across the globe.

The Audio Product Education Institute (APEI), an initiative of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) that is committed to furthering the knowledge and skills of professionals involved in the development of audio products, will present "Changes and Opportunities in Supply Chain and Sourcing - The Changing Global Dynamics, Managing Suppliers, Planning Your Options," a free webinar on August 26, 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (12:00 PM Eastern).

Loudspeaker and audio systems manufacturer MISCO has acquired Warkwyn Associates, an independent acoustic design, measurement, and testing lab. MISCO president Dan Digre says that Warkwyn will continue to provide its same high level of services for current Warkwyn customers. Warkwyn has relocated from Pakenham, Ontario to MISCO’s home base of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In an in-depth interview with MISCO President Dan Digre, we learn a lot about the highly regarded audio manufacturer's past, present and future. "Many of MISCO’s customers have been buying the same speakers for more than 50 years and rely on MISCO to maintain exactly the same design for them because their product design depends on it", says Dan Digre
