Moon Audio
Cary, North Carolina, United States · founded 2003
Moon Audio is a rare hybrid: it both manufactures its own well-known Dragon Cable line in-house and operates as an authorized retailer for major audiophile brands. Founder Drew Baird is a licensed civil engineer (P.E.) who started the business selling homemade cables on eBay; the "Dragon" naming is a nod to his Dungeons and Dragons hobby.
Moon Audio is a family-owned US audiophile company based in Cary, North Carolina, founded by engineer Drew Baird (P.E.), who began building cables as a garage project around 2001-2002 and incorporated the business in 2003. It operates a dual business: it manufactures its own made-to-order Dragon Audio Cables (Silver, Black, Blue, and Bronze Dragon) from UP-OCC copper and silver conductors, and it is an authorized online retailer of premium headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, and digital audio players. The company also offers headphone modification services and runs from an 8,000-square-foot facility, shipping to customers worldwide.
