Audio Panel CNC Machining
Audio Panel CNC Machining
CNC machined audio panels and faceplates for amplifiers, preamplifiers, DACs and hi-fi equipment, combining tight dimensional control with premium surface finishing.
Product Overview
Precision Panels with a Premium Finish
An audio panel is the first thing a customer sees and touches. We machine the cut-outs, holes and steps to tight tolerance, then apply brushing and anodizing under controlled conditions so that the finish is uniform and the markings are crisp and permanent.
Zhigao is a manufacturer of audio panel cnc machining serving customers in Europe, North America and Asia. Every order is produced to your drawing and inspected against your specification before shipment, with full documentation supplied.
