Since the founding in january 1987 through Markus Stocker the company MEDIA ENGINEERING developed from a pure engineering office for the designing, planning and realization of sound broadcasting systems to a manufacturer of high class professional audio devices.

MEDIA ENGINEERING was growing continuously from a one-man-company to a small enterprise. At the beginning the offices and laboratories were located in Zurich. Later on a large manufacturing hall was added to build larger systems and outside broadcasting vans. Since january 1992 all departments - laboratories, stock, manufacturing, development and management - are located in Weiningen, 15 minutes west of Zurich.

During 15 years of building more than 120 different radio studios and 15 OB vans MEDIA ENGINEERING was detecting quite often niche markets for own-developed products. Starting with little add-ons and helpful electronic modules the result of these efforts were making the job for the studio-installer cheaper, faster and more professional.

After a while the own-developed products began to take on a significant amount of the total turnaround. This led to larger and more complicated own developments like the modular studio furniture MEFUR or the highly sophisticated digitally controlled analog mixing console MEMIX. The latter was way ahead of its time when it was marketed in 1992 for it went away with the old-fashioned meter-bridge which was a killer of perfect ergonomics in a radio studio using computer monitors.

After 1995 MEDIA ENGINEERING began to concentrate its studio installations on projects were its own developed products were the majority of the sales. These activities culminated in studio installations not only for highly specialized mobile and fixed systems for the Swiss Governement but also for well known people from abroad like Mikhail Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union, with his RADIO-1-KULTURA in Moscow.

End of 2001 the studio installation activities were dropped entirely and all efforts were concentrated on own developments of professional audio products. Over the years MEDIA ENGINEERING has changed from a system house incorporating as good as all related crafts like metal-worker, wood-worker, electrician or electronics specialist to a highly specialized hardware and software developer and manufacturer with most of the staff having an engineering education with university degree.
