TAG McLaren Audio exists with one aim in
mind: to produce the very best audio and
audio-visual equipment.

Like many people, I often have my best
ideas when relaxing to a piece of music 
or watching a movie. For years, knowing
the technical capabilities of TAG McLaren, 
I have nurtured the ambition to push music
and movie reproduction to the absolute
limit without compromising ease of use;
that’s why we formed TAG McLaren Audio.

TAG McLaren’s aim is sonic perfection
combined with aesthetic delight and solid
build quality – a rare combination in hi-fi
but one which this product is already
delivering.
