Parsons Audio sells everything that an audio professional needs 200+ product lines. Our buyers' guide gives some idea: DAWs, computers (we're an authorized Apple Reseller) and related hardware and software (for DAWs, MIDI, etc.) , consoles, recorders (hard disk, CD, tape, etc.), duplicators, signal processors, speakers, microphones and preamplifiers, MIDI gear, signal routing, wiring, studio furniture, acoustic materials, etc. To do research, you can use the buyers' guide to connect you to hundreds of manufacturers' web sites.
Contact Parsons Audio to discuss your needs. Meet with the Parsons staff or see a product in the Demonstration Room, please visit. The staff can help you choose what suits you best, providing you with information, advice, product demos, system configuration, and installation. Once you have your system, specialists can train you and your staff individually or as a group, either at Parsons Audio or at your facility; or you can take the Pro Tools curriculum at the Parsons Center for Audio Studies (a Digidesign Sponsored School).
Among other specialties, Parsons Audio is expert at providing digital audio workstations, including the world's leading brands of Mac-, PC-hosted, or stand-alone systems, at competitive prices, from $500 on up. It is the dealer of choice for the top manufacturers: Digidesign (New England's only full-line Digidesign dealer, from M Box to the ICON, A-V Option, etc.), Merging Technologies, Apple/Logic, Nuendo, SADiE, MOTU, etc. Parsons is New England's most experienced DAW supplier, having been at it from the beginning, in the late 1980's. Parsons has placed hundreds with the region's leading recording studios, broadcasters, colleges and universities, corporations, as well as in hundreds of project and personal studios. Complete systems are on view in the Demonstration Room. The staff can configure systems to suit every budget and need.

product lines & product categories
You may have plenty of experience buying professional audio equipment, making best use of resources like Parsons Audio. Or you might be a relative beginner. Either way, you may find it helpful to read our brief discussion. It gives pointers on gathering product information, and on using that information wisely.
Buying a workstation is usually not a simple subject. For thorough guidelines, and a candid look at the realities of owning and using a DAW, go to our buying a DAW? page.
demos
There are some things you want to try before you buy. We maintain a great selection of demo items for you.
prices
Our customers confirm (see what they say about us) that despite all the "value added" that we routinely provide, our pricing is as low as or lower than any. We manage that by keeping our overhead down (i.e., no big ad budget, fancy offices or storefront, bloated inventory, etc.), by refusing to grow big/inefficient/impersonal, and by not being greedy.
We always have some Clearance items and bargains available. See our special deals page.
product lines
We sell more lines than are listed below. Ask us about any that you don't see. We're always adding new lines, too. And occasionally we drop or avoid a manufacturer whose products or procedures are doing wrong by our customers.
