A legendary American brand Harrison Audio From Nashville, with a new console and ideas for the future, and now with an official representative office in Poland.

Since 1975, Harrison has been one of the world’s leading pro audio brands, producing consoles for recording, music mixing, and film and television sound post-production, as well as DAW software and plug-ins. The Nashville-based company is credited with introducing the first in-line mixing console, which revolutionized studio production by allowing engineers to combine recording and mixing functions into a single audio path.

Harrison has been designing, manufacturing, and selling audio mixing consoles in Nashville, Tennessee (Music City, USA) since 1975.
