UnderTone Audio has officially been acquired by Royer Labs, marking a new phase for the brand while maintaining continuity in product design and support. For customers and audio professionals, this update brings a mix of stability and expanded resources without changing the core identity of UnderTone products.
Larry and the original founder will remain actively involved in the company. Their role will continue to focus on product development and design, ensuring that UnderTone Audio gear maintains the same build quality and performance standards users expect. This continuity helps preserve the sound and engineering approach that has defined the brand.
One of the most significant changes comes from Royer Labs’ established infrastructure. With nearly three decades of experience in manufacturing and distribution, Royer provides a more stable production and supply chain. This shift is expected to improve product availability, reducing delays and making UnderTone Audio equipment easier to access for studios and engineers.
The acquisition also opens the door to increased product development. With more resources available, the focus can shift more heavily toward designing new tools and expanding the product lineup. This could result in a faster release cycle for future audio equipment.
From a business perspective, the transition allows operational responsibilities such as manufacturing logistics and sales management to be handled by Royer Labs. This enables UnderTone’s original team to concentrate on engineering and innovation rather than administrative processes.
Overall, this change aims to align UnderTone Audio’s product performance with broader market availability and support. Users can expect the same design philosophy, combined with improved access and continued development in the pro audio space.
It is also worth noting that Royer Labs has recently been acquired by Sound Great Holdings, LLC, adding another layer to this transition and placing both companies within a larger group focused on audio manufacturing and distribution. You can read that article here.
