Pro Audio Equipment for the Pursuit of Excellence: in the studio and on stage!
Teegarden Audio is a family-owned and operated small business in the Nashville, Tennessee area. We make original high-end pro audio electronic devices. All our products, such as microphone preamps, tube direct boxes, active direct boxes, condenser mics, boundary stage mics, or cables, are designed, hand-built, tested, and supported by us, right here in our Tennesse studio and workshop. We care about the details. In our world, everything matters.
Premium
Materials
We source all our metal work right here in the USA to maintain the highest quality possible. We also use thicker gauges of steel, brass, and aluminum to give strength and longevity to our products. Precision machining, superior plating, and high-quality powder coatings help set us apart. We also source all our cases and packaging materials domestically as well as many electronic components as possible.
Highest Quality Components
Most high-end audio equipment manufacturers use high-quality components, but, have their components also gone through multiple double-blind listening tests by some of the "golden ears" of our industry? A critical portion of ours have! It's one thing to source expensive components yet quite another to make sure they actually sound better. Many critical components such as capacitors and transformers are manufactured in the U.S.A.!

"There's something about the feeling an engineer gets when the gear is just..."right". I use the Magic Pre daily. Everything I send through it sounds exactly as I intended. I recently added a Teegarden Tube Mic and clients are blown away."
Randy Garmon
Emmy Award winning mixer/composer for CNN, NBC, CBS, USA, ESPN and Cartoon Network
"The Fatboy DI had me slack-jawed on first hearing. The Magic DI is just that - magic. An acoustic guitar sounds like an acoustic instead of the ‘other’ sound we’ve grown used to. The Magic Pre is an amazing piece of gear for passing on exactly what the microphone is putting out."
Harold Rubens
Steven Curtis Chapman, Andrew Peterson, Mandisa, Crowder
"In 25 years of working in audio, I’ve used a lot of Direct Boxes; some good, some bad, and some really bad ones. Once I used a Fatboy Tube DI and MagicDI a new standard was set. I personally own them and use them on inputs as frequently as possible."
Steve Brewster
Dierks Bentley, Peter Cetera, Michael W. Smith, Bob Seger, Amy Grant, Richard Marx, Jewel, Chris Tomlin
"After using ribbon mics for a while, I wanted something that would provide great definition and clarity on the overall kit as well as cymbals ... The PPC-125s deliver just that in a very musical way!"
Eric Darken
Bob Seger, Carrie Underwood, James Bay, Darius Rucker, Jimmy Buffett
" The Teegarden Audio Magic Pre has become one of my "go to" pieces for recording my percussion and drums. I use it on practically every project I work on."
Larry Hall
John Schneider, Carman, Ronnie Milsap
"I've been using the Magic Pre 2100 for some time now and it always captures the absolute best sound. Vocals are just stunning through it. Running my bass through the Fatboy has given me the best bass sound I've ever done! Amazing products!"
Mark Clay
New Song
"The Fatboy Tube DI should be the new industry standard by which all other tube DIs are graded."
