Radial Engineering Factory Tour

This week I took a trip out to Port Coquitlam, BC to meet with our rep Dave Collins and have a quick tour of the Radial Engineering factory and warehouse.

View from the street

The Radial factory is where all the Radial DI boxes and Tonebone guitar pedals are built. With an assembly workforce of about 6 they build an average of 100- 200 boxes each day. Impressive.
If you've ever used a Radial product, you know that the quality is exceptional and very rugged. It was very cool to see the gear being built and tested.
This building is also the offices and warehouse for Primacoustic acoustic treatment products for home and pro studios. These products are designed here in Canada but constructed overseas.

FAQ: Do you still have classes?

Yes!
No... sort of.
Well not like we used to...

In the old Mississauga storefront we regularly hosted small classes and events for the local home recording enthusiasts. In our current situation this is not possible, (we miss it too).

The current options are:

1. Online 1 on 1 lessons and support - Need help with your system? With little more than an internet connection we can offer personalized lessons to suit your needs. Find out more
2. On-Site 1 on 1 support in the Greater Vancouver Area - Contact Jon in the Vancouver area and ask about his 'Home Studio Rescue' and other lessons.
3. Small group lessons in the Vancouver area - Jon leads the Vancouver Home Recording Meetup group which regularly meets to share tricks and learn about audio concepts.
