MINNEAPOLIS SPEAKER COMPANY

MISCO has been involved with speakers in Minneapolis, Minnesota for over 53 years. Cliff Digre started the Minneapolis Speaker Reconing Company in 1949 as a speaker reconing service repairing speakers from radios, TV's, and drive-in theaters. Within a short time the Minneapolis Speaker Company became one of the largest and most professional speaker reconing companies in the country. Cliff personally reconed hundreds of loudspeakers of most makes and types, both foreign and domestic.

With the extensive knowledge he gained through reconing, he knew he could design and build speakers of superior quality.

His first venture into manufacturing was the design of an 8" speaker for Wright, Inc. owned by Doug Wright, one of the founders of Wright-DeCoster, a pioneer in loudspeaker manufacturing. It was at that time that he changed the name to Minneapolis Speaker Company and registered the trade name MISCO.

Known as an innovative entrepreneur, Mr. Digre developed many "firsts" in the custom loudspeaker industry including the first full line of speakers with colored cones, known as "Redline", a registered trademark of MISCO. He also patented three magnetic circuit features that improved speaker quality while at the same time reduced speaker manufacturing cost. Long-term customers have experienced the results of his many innovations.

MISCO has been a pillar of the loudspeaker manufacturing industry. Both Cliff and his son, Dan, have been active in ALMA International, the international association for loudspeaker manufacturing, both serving as Presidents and leading various industry committees for the improvement of custom loudspeaker design and manufacturing.

That same innovative spirit and concern for quality, cost, and on-time delivery that have been the foundations of MISCO, continue today. MISCO's attention to these qualities has resulted in continued company growth and product demand. So much so, that in 2002, MISCO has built a new custom speaker manufacturing facility to meet the expanding demands and product requirements of its customers.

The new corporate headquarters and custom speaker manufacturing facility is located in Minneapolis just south of the University of Minnesota campus and within minutes of the Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport.
