About Us

We specialise in the the design and build of full-range and wide-band audio drivers for the custom-build speaker market worldwide as well as commercial OEMs and high-end customers in Asia, Europe and North America.

Mark Fenlon (B. Eng.) started his working life in the energy supply industry before specialising in pneumatics and the movement and control of air and gases. As a mechanical engineer working on large scale energy distribution systems in the Middle East and Europe, the properties of sound and resonance were a significant part of Mark's early work. An extensive knowledge of engineering was a springboard into more specialised work in materials technology, industrial metals, forming technology, plastics and synthetics.

Chris Davies (B.A., A.C.A.) studied computing, electronics and mathematics before graduating with a degree in accounting and financial management. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG before joining Goodyear Tyre Company in a European regional audit role until he became the Regional Finance Director for Asian Operations in Hong Kong with Carillion plc. Chris's interest in audio and his knowledge of business is a major ongoing contribution to the management of the business, marketing and the growing need for an extensive online presence, especially in social media.

In 2003 Markaudio started a collaboration with E.J. Jordan on the development of a new 2" driver using Jordan's existing cone and cap technology. Markaudio was responsible for the research, design and manufacture of all other components. In July 2007, E.J. Jordan was sold to a third party which brought an early end to the development of this product.

Markaudio today produces a diverse range of custom built audio products. Its audio drivers are becoming increasingly well known for their high performance, accurate manufacturing tolerances and near unique design. Its main line of drivers is designed and built from the ground up and uses custom tooling and components. All major components and 90% of the non-critical parts are tailor-made to our specifications.

In recognition of this commitment to quality, Markaudio now partners with Tadashi Matsubara San, former lead designer for Fostex and Lui Yi Ping from Taiwan, who is one of the leading makers of front suspensions for drivers. Tadashi and Lui will bring more innovation to Markaudio drivers as we strive for audio excellence.

Mark's driver philosophy is simple. The perfect driver does not exist and never will, so be practical. Take an idea and work through the design. Test it and keep on improving it and test it some more. You can have all the theory in the world, but making something actually work is a totally different matter".

Markaudio is continuing research, design and the construction of audio drivers.
