AESSF Swap Meet
April 20, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
It’s time to dust off, spark to life, bundle up and trundle out that gear that’s been lurking in the corner, longing for use in some other studio, live rack, classroom or other loving home.
Hosted by the Audio Engineering Society San Francisco , this is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit, community event for music and audio industry professionals. All transactions are 100% buyer to seller, with no commissions. This event is open to non-AES members as well. Fine opportunity to hobnob with fellow knob-twiddlers and catch up on what colleagues are up to.
Tickets to attend:
AES Members: Free (enter your AES membership number in the promode field to apply the discount)
Non AES Members: $5 per person pre-sales or $10 at the door, cash or check please
Snacks and beverages included, so good opportunity to network with other local audio people.
Audio Engineering Society San Francisco will post an advance page on our website of gear sellers plan to bring and a wishlist of what people are looking for, as that information gets communicated to us.
Info for Sellers:
If you have professional audio gear or musical instruments to sell, contact us with the form to request a spot.
We’ll have a limited number of tables and chairs available for vendors. Should some items be too large, weighty or awkward to schlep, pics, spec sheets or manuals can be displayed on your table to transact for later pickup or delivery.
Vendor spaces are payable in advance through eventbrite.
AES Members: Free (enter your AES membership number in the promode field to apply the discount)
Non-AES Members: $15 (includes your admission)
Locations on floor will be on a first arrival basis once you’ve reserved a spot. We’ll be indoors, with electricity available for testing gear. There are tables & chairs for sellers, Sellers are responsible for all of your own transactions and fund collection.
Move-in at 11:00 am. Doors for shoppers at noon.
Once you sign up, you will be invited to submit some of the gear you have to offer for sale.
Street parking is available

Airship Laboratories is a 3,000 square foot media production facility adjacent to the San Francisco Bay in Richmond, CA. Built in the late ’70s, the studio has had two major retrofits: first in the ’90s with the Studio A build-out and then again in 2011 when new studio owner Neil Godbole took over and invested in a full digital integration.
The Airship features two control rooms, one of the largest and best-sounding live rooms in the Bay Area, several auxiliary and isolation rooms, a listening lounge, and a full kitchen. In addition to an airy and inviting floor-plan, the ability to bring in natural air and light allows the peaceful surroundings of the bay to fill the studio with character—the perfect environment for focused creativity.
