Usher

Usher Audio Technology was founded in 1972 in central Taiwan, starting as a small audio enthusiast's shop and growing into one of the most respected names in the global audio scene. The company operates from its newly completed factory in Taichung, Taiwan, with over 50 years of experience in developing and manufacturing high-fidelity audio amplifiers and loudspeakers. Usher specializes in cutting-edge speaker design and proprietary Diamond DMD (Diamond Dome) technology, taking a scientific approach to engineering combined with extensive listening tests. The company is known for its "no-compromise" philosophy, believing that high-end audio components should be accessible to all music lovers and audiophiles. Key personnel include Tsai Lien-Shui (President/Designer) who collaborates with Dr. Joe D'Appolito for the US market. Usher has created a computer-based measuring system that became an industry standard, and many of their amplifiers from the 1970s are still actively serving their original owners. The company saw a revival under new management starting in 2021, refreshing their product lineup with flagship ML series and budget-friendly LS series.
