Cutting Edge Audio & Video Group

I’ve been a customer at Cutting Edge since I started my studio in 1995 and they were in a small office space in Potrero Hill. It’s been great to see them expand and grow over the years. ‘Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of people. They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I know I can trust them to give me honest gear recommendations when needed. Highly Recommend!

The SPEAKERBOXX: I needed a serious set of studio monitors for film audio mixing, and as a pseudo-​A/​V geek, it helps to visit the folks that had the answers, not to mention a plethora of different brands to demo. «Just pop in your favorite Outkast CD!», said Mike (paraphrasing, plus I conveniently had ATLiens in my back pocket). Whatever you’re in the mood for, the rocksteady staff can help you get plugged in and dialed up for a mini soul train line, minus the disco ball.
I grabbed a set of Shure headphones and a pair of JBL 2300’s and haven’t looked back. Now everybody lemme hear ya say «OH YAY-​ER!»

Every 3 – 5 years I have to make a major studio purchase for my production studio. I live in Oakland and even though it’s a pain to get down here, this is where I go.
Always super knowledgable without being overly technical or patronizing.
They are not hard sell, they just know what they’re talking about. I’m heading back in there soon to out fit my studio once more.
Go nowhere else!

Great selection, wonderful staff, as good as it gets!

If more companies did business like Cutting Edge, the world would simply be a better place. Bravo! Now if they could just get a parking lot… LOL.

I agree as well «You don’t do business with CEAG, you have a relationship with them.»
I went in only spurred by my hesitation to step into a crowded impersonal apple store. I am very glad I dropped in.
They were very laid back and offered great personalized customer service. I’m a noob to home-​recording and felt a bit in over my head but their staff (I think his name was Mike) made me feel completely at ease. It was clear he was not looking to bash me over the head with his superior knowledge. He emphasized that if I had any questions regarding not just the hardware I was buying, but also the software that I use, that CEAG would be happy to help.
Thanks CEAG!

Whether you’re building a home studio or outfitting a professional recording facility, these guys have you covered. Definitely the most knowledgeable sales staff in the city (or anywhere else probably). They’ll work with you and get you demo units to help you make the big decisions and make them right the first time.
As Fran said above, «You don’t just do business with CEAG, you have a relationship with them.» That’s certainly been true since the first time I visited them, I’ve been dealing with Michael Groh ever since and he’s continually exceeded expectations with information and accommodation.

I have worked with the staff at Cutting Edge for several years. They have helped our company demo and purchase some of the most crucial products.
If you’re looking for video or audio production equipment, these are your SF guys. Will get you Avid, Apple, Sony, Adobe, or what you demand. They serve Pixar, Fox and others, but it doesn’t affect the attention or respect they give you.
You don’t just do business with CEAG, you have a relationship with them.
Pros: Local SF supplier, lots of reach. Can demo equipment in the right scenario and is resopnsive.
Cons: Not a supplier of consumer electronics, even high-​end items like projectors, LCDs, and home theater gear in general. Would be an amazing one-​stop shop. Small, intamite team is usually a benefit but sometimes gets bogged down.

THE BEST EVER!!!
:Love Pebbles:

This place is your home recording outpost. The staff is always helpful and knowledgable about the newest sh*t in the recording industry for the less techie chap like myself. The place is pretty spectacular and as you leave Cuting Edge with your recent purchase of Protools, you wonder how cool it would be to have such a laid back job that these people have. Keep up the good work gentleman, the music and film industry thanks you!
