Our journey began in 2016. As lifelong music enthusiasts and vinyl collectors, my friend Colin and I decided to build our own sound system : Blue Mystik. Those early years of building speakers and exploring dub culture laid the foundation for our creative synergy. As an electronics engineer, the turning point came around 2021. The challenge was clear : why settle for existing equipment when you have the skills to design your own dub preamp with zero technical compromise? By 2022, the first prototypes, the early sparks of Craftronics, were born. It was no longer just about building gear for our own system ; it was the start of a quest for analog perfection. After years of working as a professional engineer, I made the decision in 2024 to leave the corporate world and dedicate myself fully to the workshop. A collaboration with Léo from VHS Boutique in Grenoble acted as a catalyst, establishing Craftronics on two complementary pillars : the restoration and maintenance of any kind of audio equipment, and the creation of original high-end analog products. To bring the brand's visual identity to life, Colinnow a professional graphic designerjoined the mission. His artistic vision and my technical expertise formed the core DNA of Craftronics : a perfect harmony between shape, function, and emotion. Purchasing a Craftronics unit is not just a transactionit is a collaborative experience. My goal is to guide each client through the technical nuances of analog audio, offering a level of customization that turns a high-end product into a truly personal tool. We don't just build gear ; we empower your creative vision through engineering.
