Audio for Video Professionals
The Renegade Team
Pioneers in quality audio for video
Renegade Labs Inc. was formed in early 2004 by a small group of professionals with a common goal; design, develop and sell the highest quality equipment for the worldwide professional broadcast, video, and film industries. Based in Grass Valley, California, Renegade Labs houses its engineering, sales and marketing, and manufacturing departments in this beautiful part of Northern California.
Each of our founders has over twenty years experience in the industry. Much of that experience was gained working together as the Emmy award winning engineering, sales and marketing team from Graham-Patten Systems. This group of renegade audio professionals later banded together, and incorporated in June of 2004 as Renegade Labs.
Since that time Renegade Labs has established itself as an industry leader in audio for video. The award-winning line of Renegade mixers pack the most audio performance into the smallest footprint in the industry. A comprehensive line of analog, digital, and SD/HD SDI interfaces, video and AES sync, and full surround monitoring capabilities make the Renegade mixers a perfect fit in any video suite.
We work closely with a network of professionals to promote our products and services to the major worldwide markets. The relationship Renegade shares with many of these critical partners dates back to the early 1990's with two or three approaching 20 years. Renegade values these partnerships as one of our most valuable assets. Visit our Sales section to find our distribution partner in your backyard.
