Augspurger is a high-end studio monitor manufacturer based in Hanover, Massachusetts. The brand traces back to speaker designs by acoustician George Augspurger, which were first built commercially in 1999 when pro audio consultant Dave Malekpour was commissioned by New York's Unique Recording to construct a monitor system based on Augspurger's plans. Malekpour formalized the operation as Augspurger Monitors in 2012, and the company has since installed systems in recording facilities worldwide.

The product line is built around large-format soffit-mounted and free-standing reference monitors, including the Solo, Duo, Treo, and Quattro series, along with the Classic and Monolith Tower systems and the smaller MinimaX. Systems typically pair custom-built woofers and compression drivers — some with beryllium diaphragms — with Augspurger Power Class D rack-mount amplifiers, a line developed after the 2016 acquisition of Digmoda. The Duo 8 and Treo 812 CFM have both received TEC Award nominations.

Augspurger monitors are known for deep low-frequency extension and high SPL capability, and are fixtures in mixing and mastering rooms used by hip-hop, pop, and film-scoring professionals. The company notes that it is not affiliated with George Augspurger himself, though its designs build on his original work.

Augspurger has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Active & Passive Monitors and Power Amplifiers. Their gear is featured by 14 artists, with the strongest followings in Hip Hop, Electronic, and Pop. Notable users include Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Travis Scott.
