Audio Engineering Society San Francisco Swap Meet

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, 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: $5 per person at the door, cash or check please
We’re offering a Bux Back coupon for $3 rebate on your first purchase to all paid entrants.

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.
