Memorial Day is the day we honor the brave men and women of the US Armed Forces who put service before self, and made the greatest sacrifice.The folks who gave their lives defending our country. Most of the time, the work of the military is transparent to civilian Americans, as it should be, but without their tireless vigilance, life here could be much different. Memorial Day is also a time to honor our veterans and those serving today. At AudioScape, we have, among our amazing craftspeople and support staff, some treasured veterans that have served their country, putting service before self, and we’re grateful for them.

As a way of showing our gratitude for service, we offer Military Discounts to active service members and veterans. We know things can be tight on a budget and this is one small way we can give something back. If this applies to you, please let us know at info@audio-scape.com before completing a purchase, and we will make sure your discount is included.

Of course, AudioScape has another tie to the US military: tubes! Many of the recreations we craft here in Florida utilize NOS military-branded tubes (some dating back to World War II!). Remember that it was a world of tube electronics until the late 1960s, and there were tons of tubes required for military service. They had to be reliable and have a long duty cycle. It’s why “mil-spec” means something. Products like the ASA-6A, V-Comp+, Opto-Comp and even the Pultec-style EQs use NOS military grade tubes dating back as far as the late 1930s, pulled brand new out of the box for use in our vintage recreations. It’s a blessing, really, to have them available, and we’re grateful for that as well.

So, let’s celebrate the US Armed Forces this weekend, those that have given their lives, those who have served, and the amazing folks serving today. And be grateful, as a country, for those who put service before self.
