WHAT DOES MADE FROM DETROIT™ MEAN?

It means creating high-tech, high-quality audio equipment that does justice to the history of Detroit music.

It means employing local artists, craftspeople, and engineers in Detroit.

It means being part of Detroit’s renaissance by creating modern gear, born of its celebrated past.

It means focusing on the future by keeping materials out of landfill and using sustainable materials.

It means giving back to our community by donating a portion of our proceeds to ASWD.

Owning a Made From Detroit™ product means owning a piece of Detroit history powered by world-class design and technology. It also means being part of Detroit’s future by supporting local businesses and retaining value from already-existing structures.

REBORN FROM DETROIT

Born of Detroit’s renaissance, each piece is engraved with the address of the building from which the raw materials were salvaged. Each run is limited. Once the wood from a salvaged building is gone, that address is no longer available. With our Detroit-based partner, Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit (ASWD), we salvage wood from blighted homes slated for demolition. ASWD reclaims 90% of the materials from these properties, keeping value and jobs in Detroit.

The wood is kiln dried and handcrafted in Detroit into high-fidelity speakers—literally Made From Detroit™. Each piece arrives with a letterpress address card describing the Made From Detroit™ concept and featuring the address of your piece, as well as a letterpress maker card proudly signed by the craftsman of your piece.
