Area of specialization

Professional audio equipment manufacturing

Professional audio hardware depends on well-made metalwork: chassis that fit their electronics, panels with accurate openings, grilles with consistent patterns and rack hardware that mounts as designed. This is where Cross Sound Machine, Inc. focuses much of its work.

We produce custom metal components and assemblies for audio equipment manufacturers, working from your drawings and specifications.

Design considerations

What audio hardware typically asks of metal parts

These are common considerations for metalwork in audio equipment. We review them against your drawings for each project.

  • Fit with internal electronics, circuit boards and mounting points
  • Openings and apertures for controls, connectors and displays
  • Ventilation and perforated or slotted patterns
  • Consistent appearance from part to part across an order
  • Finish requirements for visible and non-visible surfaces
  • Assemblies that arrive ready for the next stage of your build
