Heritage & History
QSC was founded in 1968 in Costa Mesa, California by Pat Quilter, John Andrews, and Barry Andrews — engineers who saw the professional audio amplifier market as an opportunity to apply rigorous engineering to products that were being built with more sales talent than technical depth.
QSC grew as professional audio became a major industry. The company's amplifiers became the standard for touring sound companies, installed sound contractors, and broadcast facilities, delivering the reliability, power output, and audio quality that professional use demanded. Today QSC is one of the world's largest professional audio manufacturers.
