Summer Price Increase
Beginning August 1st, we'll be implementing a price adjustment on select products, along with a modest increase in shipping costs across the board. We've worked hard to keep our pricing as low as possible for as long as we could, despite the steady rise in operating costs throughout this year. Unfortunately, maintaining our current pricing is no longer sustainable, and these adjustments are necessary to continue delivering the quality and service you expect from us. These changes will take effect on August 1st.
Which products will have an increase?
As of right now, we are looking at the following products:
DA-3A, AS78, V-Comp+ DE, ASA-6A, EQP-A
How steep will the increases be?
The increase will vary by product, but in most cases it will be modest. Some products may see a slightly larger adjustment depending on the cost of the components and labor involved in building them. We are still in the process of finalizing our updated price list.
These changes will help us ensure that AudioScape continues to offer the best value available for high-quality, boutique-built gear. We're committed to delivering exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding performance, and the best bang for your buck —just as we always have.
What’s the main reason for this?
As a company that manufactures everything using a significant number of USA-market NOS parts, the majority of our business and supplier network is domestic. That has helped us keep our prices stable for as long as possible. While some raw material costs have increased, the biggest factor has been the rising cost of transportation for both incoming parts and outgoing finished products — something we're sure many of you have noticed as well. It's remarkable how much these costs have changed, even compared to this time last year.
I know this may not be the news anyone wants to hear, and we truly appreciate your understanding. Since the day we opened our doors, your continued support has meant everything to us — especially through the challenges and uncertainty of the past few years. We genuinely wouldn't be here without you, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Our goal is to continue serving you for many years to come, and this adjustment helps ensure we can do exactly that. We also believe it's the right thing to do to give you advance notice, rather than simply increasing prices without letting you know ahead of time. Thank you for your loyalty, your trust, and for being such an important part of our journey.
