NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS ABOUT COUNTERFEIT TOA

The only way to be sure you're buying a genuine TOA product is to buy directly from a TOA authorized distributor, dealer or reseller.

We have recently learned of counterfeit TOA speakers, driver units and microphones manufactured illegally with TOA logo being sold by unauthorized distributors and resellers particularly in the East Asia region. Read on how to identify a fake TOA product.

While these products bear TOA logos, cost significantly lower than an original TOA product and can appear extremely similar to the genuine item at first glance, the quality, internal components and performance fail to meet our standards. These products may also fail to meet safety regulations for materials or workmanship. Please be warned that the use of counterfeit product(s) risk malfunction of the system and may damage the other equipment within the same setup.
