History

30 years of sound experience

Hill Audio was established in England during the early 1980’s, with the vision to provide quality equipment to the live sound industry. With its engineering team having had profound background in mixer design, Hill Audio developed some of the most influential mixer designs of the late 20th century, well known for their superior preamplifiers and innovative EQ sections, providing an excellent price-performance ratio. Hill Audio not only takes credit for the invention of the rack-mounted PA mixer such as the Multimix/ Rackmix/Stagemix models, but also for some highly successful small and large-scale live mixers such as the Soundmix, Datum or J series. Few but equally successful recording mixer designs such as the Remix 24 from 1986 and the larger Concept consoles gained an excellent reputation in the mid-level market. Apart from mixers, Hill Audio was at the time well known for the quality and performance of its amplifier designs, which sold several ten thousand pieces over the existence of the successful DX and LC series, which are the workhorse of many PA rigs until today.
