12-31-2016 -- Memphis Audio is introducing a brand new series of amplifiers and component speakers. These new offerings by Memphis are branded the SixFive Series, named after the year Memphis Audio was established. 

The SixFive Series speakers and amplifiers are the best performing product offering Memphis has ever created. These amplifiers are wrapped in a sleek angel hair finish with a gloss black panel boasting 7 selectable lighting options to match any interior. All terminals are side-loaded to make installation simple. Setting up the amplifiers is a breeze thanks to the easy access magnetic top control panel. To maximize the capabilities of the amplifiers, Memphis recommends pairing them with an optional wireless bass knob which can be mounted anywhere without the need for messy wires. 

Amplifiers are available in a variety of mono and full range options and feature DSP technology with 24 and 48dB crossover slopes. The new component speakers the VIV60C features a double layer composite fiber cone and an aluminum housed silk tweeter. The attention to detail in terms of construction, paired with the crossover, produce some of the purest sound from any speaker in its class, according to the company.  Both the SixFive series amplifiers and speakers had their debut at Memphis Audios National Sales meeting at Memphis headquarters in December to a resoundingly positive response.

“I’ve been around Memphis products all my life, these by far are the most impressive performing products we’ve ever put the M-badge on,” said Memphis tech support specialist Ellis Mathis. At unveiling Memphis VP Nick LoMonaco stated “Memphis has a goal of moving forward and pushing the limits of product performance. The SixFive Series is an example of our dedication to 12 volt audio and our desire to give our dealers the best products possible to help them grow their business.”  Independent 12-volt specialists seem to agree with the statement as the SixFive Series product line has thoroughly impressed reviewers in initial test reports and real world applications.

The public will get their first glimpse of this new line in booth 5021 at CES 2017.  Memphis will have its products on active demo in the show hall so show attendees can experience the new Memphis in person.

November 30, 2018 -- Memphis Audio has announced a promotion that will last from Black Friday through the end of 2018 offering consumers FREE MBud Air True Wireless Earbuds with any purchase of $500 or more in current stock Memphis Audio! Memphis will be providing dealers with easel backed counter card stands as well as social media content to promote the offer through the end of the year. 

The free MBud Air promotion is also available to consumers shopping online at www.memphiscaraudio.com. Orders purchased through the website are processed through the Quivers platform which redirects the sale to one of Memphis Audio’s local dealers in the specific geographic region where the order was processed. The dealer ultimately fulfills the order and captures the profits generated from the sale making online and can invite the consumer to pick up the item in store or ship it directly to the consumer.

“The goal of this promotion is to drive consumers into brick and mortar retailers during a time of year that is traditionally slower. We’ve heard dealers comment that slower foot traffic in their stores is an issue, we wanted to do our part to help make a difference and help our dealers succeed during the holiday season and to give consumers a little something extra in their stockings,” said Nick LoMonaco VP of Memphis Audio.

The promotion rules are simple. Anyone who purchases $500 or more between 11/15/2018-12/31/2018 in Memphis Audio product from an authorized Memphis Audio dealer can go to www.memphiscaraudio.com/free-mbud and submit photos of their receipt and serial numbers. Submissions must be made by 01/15/2019 to qualify for the promotion. Memphis will then ship out a free pair of earbuds directly to the consumer.  Memphis Audio dealers do not need to qualify in any way to participate in this promotion. Dealers do not need to stock the M-Buds, all orders will be fulfilled directly from Memphis. Memphis will be monitoring the contest closely and will not be accepting any submissions from purchases from unauthorized sources.

Memphis Audio unveiled its biggest CES product launch since the company’s inception in 1965. This launch, coupled with a complete brand refresh, left dealers impressed and excited about the future of the brand, according to the company. Memphis debuted over 60 new and improved items all marked with the new “Memphis” logo proudly displayed on the front. 

When asked about the absence of the word “Car” from the company’s logo the answer was quite simple. “We elected to not use the word ‘car’ in our new branding for one reason, we are more than just a car audio company. We make a full line of power sports and marine audio solutions in addition to our line of proven car audio products,” said Nick LoMonaco VP of Memphis Audio. 

Along with a new logo and products, the brand opted to revamp all of its packaging with stylish new designs to help dealers properly merchandise their stores. When asked about the product and marketing direction of the brand, LoMonaco commented, “Our goal from a product and marketing standpoint was to focus on product performance as well as cosmetics and style. We want our consumers to be excited from the moment they see box to when they first touch the product and of course once they finally hear it. Based on the feedback from our dealers and social media fans I think we absolutely nailed it.”

The new look and feel of Memphis along with all the new products will roll out to dealers in the first quarter of 2016.

October 26, 2018 -- Memphis Audio’s team has been prepping hard for their largest SEMA exhibition to date. In true Memphis fashion, Booth 11833 will be rocking and open for business in the North Hall of the LVCC. Memphis has invested heavily in the brand’s future with a new state-of-the art double decker trade show booth that will be debuted at the event. The Memphis booth will feature an impressive array of Memphis tower speakers and powersports solutions live on active demo. “We are 100% committed to the future of Memphis Audio, this construction of this new booth is part of our long-term plan for our company. It will maximize our room on the show floor at both SEMA, CES and other future events giving us the ability to treat our dealer partners to a great time while we conduct business,” said Nick LoMonaco VP of Memphis Audio.

The new two-story booth isn’t the only thing that will turn heads at the show. Booth 11833 will feature the hottest vehicle in the North Hall. Memphis will be unveiling a massive 4-seater stretched Polaris Slingshot dubbed the “SlingShaq.” The larger than life Polaris Slingshot is owned by Shaquille O’Neal who partnered up with Memphis Audio and Underground Auto Styling to bring this jaw dropping build to life. The vehicle will feature a custom Memphis system unlike anything that has ever rolled onto the show floor in the LVCC. The build consists of a massive 18 speaker sound system including four 8” Mojo Pro mids, six Street Reference Pro tweeters, eight MXA 6.5” RGBLED Speakers all of which are powered by three Memphis Audio VIV400.4 amplifiers. Memphis certainly didn’t forget about the bass managing to pack two Bass Reference 12” subwoofers inside the build powered by Memphis Audio’s DSP controlled VIV 700.1 amplifier.

“We did a Slingshot for Shaq a few months back here in Florida and he was really impressed with the build and the performance of the Memphis system that he asked for another vehicle to use when he was on the west coast. One really cool thing about this build is that all the speaker pods are production pieces made by UAS (United Auto Solutions) and designed specifically to fit Memphis Audio gear. This build looks totally custom but anyone with a Slingshot can buy these pods to give their slingshot a serious Memphis Audio audio upgrade,” said Jack Polubinski owner of Underground Auto Solutions.

Everyone loves shiny new booths, flashy cars and good fun but Memphis knows that dealers making the trek out to SEMA for the show care about the new products and solutions they need to maximize profitability at their stores. Memphis has them covered with over a dozen new products live on the show floor. “Traditionally we would roll out our new products at CES but our team has been working diligently to hit a target date of SEMA to bring our dealers some amazing new powersports solutions,” said LoMonaco.

Some noteworthy new products on display will include:

• 28” app controlled overhead soundbar with 4 6.5” speakers
• “Headless unit” app controlled Bluetooth source unit
• 6.5” and 8” Compression horn tower speakers
• 6.5” coaxial tower speaker
• 6.5” powersports pods
• 10” and 12” MXA Subwoofers
• Bluetooth knock out controller
• MXA TOP roof audio solutions for side-by-sides

The Memphis Audio booth at SEMA will primarily focus on powersports solutions but that doesn’t mean they put the brakes on car audio solutions. Memphis dealers will see an influx of Memphis car audio solutions debuting in a few short month at CES 2019 in January so stay tuned!

Memphis will have swag and show specials available for attendees of SEMA 2018 and looks forward to seeing you at booth 11833 in the North Hall of the LVCC.

8-24-2016 -- The Memphis audio booth was teeming with dealers throughout the weekend at Knowledgefest 2016. Two high quality demo rigs loaded with Memphis gear were absolute showstoppers on the show floor. 

#Project_Warhorse, the 2015 Rhino lined monolith built by Infinity Conversions, turned heads with its interior and exterior Memphis system, making it "one of the coolest demo builds to roll through the doors of the Hilton Anatole show floor," the company said.

Memphis also unveiled a stunning lifted Polaris RZR outfitted with a Memphis Xtreme Top built by Southern Sound.MXA Tops are hand built ultra-light aluminum tops exclusively available from Memphis dealers. These tops are engineered to fit every major model of side-by-side and are shipped complete with built in amplifiers, light bars, speakers and Bluetooth controls capable of making any ride a party on wheels.

National Sales Manager Shawn Spedding hosted an informative sales training seminar educating the full house crowd on ways to increase sales and boost margins.  Attendees received a ticket to win a $1000 grand prize for attending the training event.  In a post Knowledgefest announcement on Facebook, the winner was announced as Ram Auto Sound from Palestine, TX.

Memphis didn’t turn down the dial after show time, instead they turned it up at their presidential suite with over 100 attendees from some of the industry’s best dealers.  The Memphis crew had an opportunity hang out and connect with their dealers and thank them for their support. 

“The show and party were a resounding success, training was great, our show specials allowed for record breaking sales numbers and we were able to spend quality time having fun with our dealers,”  said Nick LoMonaco VP of Memphis Audio.  The party could have lasted all night if it weren’t for the Memphis Audio kiosk display pounding out a little too much bass for the management at the Hilton Anatole hotel who abruptly informed everyone of last call a little prematurely.  Party guests walked away with smiles on their faces and a set of MXA52T tower speakers as a thank you for supporting the brand.  

June 11, 2018 -- Memphis Audio is extremely excited to welcome Pat Murphy back to the Memphis team! Pat worked for years as a successful direct representative throughout the Florida and Georgia markets.

“We are thrilled to have Pat back on the Memphis team. Pat does an incredible job of supporting our dealers and his industry knowledge will help dealers succeed and grow,” said Nick LoMonaco, vice president of Memphis Audio.
