Lockwood is truly in a class by itself among loudspeaker manufacturers. Most brands promote themselves based on their exceptional technology and glowing reviews. Lockwood has all that and something more that others do not: the ability to let the music they’ve helped make for nearly a century ‘speak’ for them.
“So, we were all there and we did ‘Hey Jude’, and we were listening back on these six-foot tall Lockwood Speakers, and there were four of them in the room so it was like living in the song”.
— Paul McCartney

Across a wide spectrum of musical genres, the world’s most beloved superstars have recorded or mastered their best selling albums in studios equipped with Lockwood Loudspeakers as their monitors. But the Lockwood story runs much deeper than its legacy of being favored by music’s greatest icons.
Founded by Stanley Lockwood Timms in 1930, Lockwood distinguishes itself apart from all other high performance audio brands by being the oldest one continuously owned and operated by its founding family. This ensures that Lockwood’s founding principles of uncompromising audio quality, technological superiority, old world craftsmanship and understated design will continue seamlessly as they have for decades—and endure well into the future.
