About Azden
Creating the newest, most technologically advanced audio products has been a tradition at Azden for over 55 years. Taking advantage of the latest in CAD and SMT technology, every Azden product is loaded with features and enhancements within minimal space.
Started as an OEM manufacturer for many of the world's best-known quality brand names, Azden in the past 25 years has established it's own brand identity. Today, the name "Azden" is synonymous with quality, around the world.
Our portable VHF wireless microphone systems have been the leaders in Event and Wedding Videography fields. They are considered to have better RF than competitors priced considerably higher. The "PRO" series continues to evolve, with constantly improving circuitry.
The 92-channel 105 Series and the new 188-channel 305/325 Series UHF portable systems are rapidly being accepted as the best performing systems for those broadcast professionals wanting maximum flexibility of transmitter options and quality, at a reasonable price. And, the new 1200 Series 188-channel UHF systems set a new standard for performance and ease of use, while retaining the Azden tradition for quality at reasonable prices.
