About Us

Audio Trends is celebrating 40 years in the Audio/Visual business. However, our roots go back to the late 1950's when founder Stephen Lee began helping his father build his first stereo system. Sure, he didn't do much other than pass the tools but it was the beginning of a journey. In 1967, Stephen got his first part-time job selling audio gear for Myer who were a big player in the market at that time. This eventually lead to full-time employment in 1970. However, 1978 was the big change when he and a friend opened up Budget Hi-Fi in the leafy suburb of Wantirna. He became sole owner in 1980 and changed the name to Audio Trends.

Stephen was always known to talk a lot, but this was really his enthusiasm on display and undoubtedly helped Audio Trends grow and expand in 2004 to the present showroom in Ringwood. Our staff not only have the knowledge, but have the same enthusiasm when it comes to Customer Service. Whether your purchase be small or requires complex design and installation, Audio Trends can help. If you're looking for the best in products, value and service, then you're in the right place.
