NCA was founded on the principle of providing high quality loud speakers.
Our goal is not just to be profitable, but to also provide a quality
product. The goal of our business is to produce an exceptional product
first; profits will follow.
It started off nearly 40 years ago when our founder, Glenn Stasky started
tinkering with loudspeakers. Soon he found his calling, in the loudspeaker
industry. After years of car stereo installation, audio sales jobs and
science fairs, he went off to study Physics and then Business. Right out of school, he was offered a position with a prominent Audio company on the West
coast. After many years and successful loudspeaker products he became a
partner in their manufacturing division. In his tenure as a manufacturing
partner Glenn learned the importance of quality construction and sound
design. He eventually realized he wanted to do more, so he set out on his
own and founded NCA.
He quickly realized that there was a need for better quality parts and
improved design. So, he set out to find them. Not only did he find them, he
found ways to improve upon them. By closely dealing with vendors all over
the world, Glenn built many strong and trustworthy relationships. By doing
so, NCA has become very efficient at keeping a low overhead, which keeps the
pricing competitive.
NCA has grown from a one bedroom production facility into a well run and
respected business located in Sacramento California. Many companies and
popular brands deal with NCA to help them achieve their performance goal.
A popular saying at NCA is “while we may not know everything about speakers, we know who to call”.
NCA has adopted a Lead Fly Swatter approach when it comes to building sub
woofers. Meaning if a bolt needs fastening not only do we fasten it, but we
use a locking compound AND a lock washer. NCA's competitors have said that
what NCA does is overkill. Actions speak louder than words. NCA's products
have a reputation for high reliability, and if something does fail, we stand
behind what we say and do.
Training of personnel is an ongoing job at NCA.
This is one key to reliability. Each and every employee is in charge of QC.
At any point during the manufacturing stage, every employee has the right to
halt production due to a flaw that they catch. The employee that catches
this will receive a bonus. Many of the workers at NCA have celebrated
multiple anniversaries. Like they say “happy employees make better
loudspeakers”.
