Tortuga Audio is a privately held audio designer and manufacturer of handcrafted audio products for the discriminating audiophile and home stereo audio enthusiast.

Our core products are a line of  digitally controlled (software driven) preamp controllers with stepped attenuation (volume control), input switching and interactive  visual display with remote controls.

Tortuga Audio employs analog light dependent resistors (LDR) to achieve subjectively superior sonic performance as compared to conventional volume control potentiometers or stepped attenuators. Our preamp controllers function as a stand alone passive preamp volume controller and can also be integrated into new or existing active preamplifiers.

Founded in south Florida but now operating out of central Oregon, we sell exclusively online through our website at tortugaaudio.com but will consider selective partnering with dealers in key world markets.

While Tortuga Audio procures it’s raw materials and components from both domestic and international sources, 100% of our production and assembly is done in the United States.

Tortuga Audio was founded in 2010 by Morten Sissener, an engineering executive with extensive experience in a broad range of technology and business development and a lifelong lover of audio gear, music, cats, dogs, boats and tinkering in the shop.

Hello and thanks for reading all the way down here. I’m in this business first and foremost because I have a passion for the music! Music that was painstakingly written, produced, recorded and mastered. I believe great music deserves high performance audio gear at viable prices without compromising quality.  Value is achieved when technology, aesthetics and attitude combine to create distinctive products that both sound great and you can be proud to own. Everyone at Tortuga Audio is committed to engineering excellence and to treating our current and prospective customers with fairness, integrity and respect. I invite you to try our stuff and enjoy! – Morten
