ABOUT US
What does an avid amateur gold prospector do when they cannot find headphones to buy with the features and specifications they want, are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and rugged enough to cope with the demands of the bush? Well, they build their own of course!
Necessity being the mother of invention, so started a world-wide search to source hardware and components to build headphones tailored to the peculiar requirements and rigours of prospecting.
Following countless hours of research, suitable supplies were acquired and several prototypes built. Personally used for extended periods to test their durability and efficacy, a specification was chosen and assembled into a final build that achieved what was initially sought.
Several queries from fellow prospectors seeking to buy similar units piqued the idea to consider small scale production to cater for local demand. The idea whilst persistent, remained dormant constrained by the competing day to day demands of time at home, full time work and recreation. An change of employment followed by the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, provided the time and impetus to focus my interest into manufacturing reality and the creation of Aurumax.
With lessons and knowledge learnt from previous builds, a small initial production run was completed and distributed to select buyers. Using their feedback, the specification was further refined into the products now offered here.
With the physical products ready, a whole set of new challenges presented itself with considerations for branding, marketing, packaging and sales to be solved. In hindsight, these have been the most challenging and time-consuming obstacles, far exceeding initial estimates.
As a low volume specialist manufacturer, the decision to establish an online only sales platform is seen as the best way to service customers across Australia who we anticipate will benefit from the detailed images, descriptions and information contained within the pages of this website.
