New Zealand Manufactured Audio: McLaren

McLaren was first established in 1976 by Paul McLaren and Bruce Crothers, manufactured by Zetka Industries in Lower Hutt, Wellington.

There is a website covering McLaren's history and the products made and it seems that the brand was still active up until 1996 and had a small worldwide market while in operation. McLaren also made a range of professional high power amplifiers under the ZPE brand.

I have included the link to the website - McLaren Audio History
