Phoenix Audio designs and manufactures boutique professional audio equipment built around pure Class-A discrete circuitry. The company was founded in 1996 in the UK as a specialist service provider for pre-1980 Neve recording consoles, and relocated to Southern California in 2009. Its design team has long included Shaun Leveque, a former vintage Neve repair technician, and David Rees, a former Neve design manager known for his work on the classic 2253/4 limiter/compressor — a lineage that informs the brand's voicing and circuit philosophy.

The product line covers mic preamps, EQs, compressors, DIs, and summing mixers, sold both as standalone rack units and 500-series modules. Notable products include the Ascent Series of preamps and channel strips (Ascent One, Ascent Two, and the Ascent 500 module), the Nicerizer summing mixers, the DRS-8 Mk2 eight-channel preamp, and DI boxes such as the Nimbus, N-8, and Nice DI. Other recurring offerings include the Gyrator EQ-500, N90-DRC/500 dynamics module, and Pivot Tone Channel.

Phoenix Audio is positioned in the high-end recording and mixing market, used in project studios and commercial facilities looking for Neve-influenced character with modern reliability. The brand is distributed through a network of pro-audio dealers internationally.

Phoenix Audio has 22 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Preamps, Effects Processors, and Mixers. Their gear is featured by 7 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Electronic. Notable users include David Isaac, Neil Citron, and Kevin Parker. Most Phoenix Audio products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
