Daking Audio is a U.S.-based professional audio manufacturer founded in 1993 by Geoff Daking, a former 1960s rock drummer who transitioned into recording engineering and studio ownership before launching his own outboard line. The company set out to build modern recording gear that captured the sonic character of classic console modules from API, Neve, and Trident, using Jensen input transformers, hand-selected discrete transistor amplifiers, and Class A circuitry.

The product range centers on microphone preamps and dynamics processors, with the original mic preamp/EQ design drawing on the Trident A-Range channel. Notable models include the Mic Pre One (a single-channel unit also offered in 500-series format), the two-channel Mic Pre II and transformer-balanced Mic Pre IIT, and the four-channel Mic Pre 4T with Jensen input and output transformers. The compressor line includes the Comp II and Comp IIT, and the company also produces the Daking MKII analog recording console.

Daking gear is built in the USA and distributed worldwide by TransAudio Group. The brand has a reputation in tracking and mixing rooms for combining vintage-style transformer-and-discrete-Class-A signal paths with the reliability and price point of modern manufacturing.

Daking has 9 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Effects Processors and Preamps. Their gear is featured by 4 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Electronic. Notable users include Al Jourgensen, Eric Cannata, and David Peters.
