Zu Audio Event Mk 2 XLR XLR Plugs Great cables for the money… made in the USA… Zu is a small but capable Hifi business making interesting cables and speaker designsI tested them against Chord Epic XLR cables and the Zu were superior Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT Region/State: (TAS) Tasmania/Australia By Daf 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $350 Date: February 19Feb 19
This A$350 asking price for the like-new Zu Audio EVENT is a strong deal, sitting comfortably above the 25th percentile of A$162 but well below the 75th percentile of A$665, and just under the median of A$201 for recent AUD listings. Actually, wait—A$350 is above the median of A$201, so it’s not a bargain relative to the median; it’s modestly ambitious but still far below the 75th percentile, making it a fair-to-good ask for like-new condition in today’s market.
The Zu EVENT is prized for its bold, musical sound and distinctive cabinet design that delivers surprising bass depth and dynamic punch from a compact footprint. At like-new condition with no noted flaws, this listing offers genuine upside for buyers seeking a statement speaker that doesn’t compromise on presence or tonal richness. With no accessories mentioned missing and no red flags in the listing, it’s a solid buying opportunity for enthusiasts who value Zu’s signature voice.

Zu Audio emerged in 2000 from Ogden, Utah, founded by Sean Casey, a veteran audio engineer with roots in the 1980s party scene where he honed his skills wiring speakers for maximum impact. Disillusioned by hi-fi's shift toward clinical precision over musical vitality, Casey established the company to revive the pioneering spirit of early American audio, drawing on 1930s RCA research by Harry Olson and collaborations like the Zu-Griewe acoustic loading technology co-developed with Ron Griewe. Now a family-owned enterprise in its third decade, Zu remains firmly rooted in U.S. manufacturing, embodying Casey's vision of accessible, soul-stirring sound.
The brand specializes in high-efficiency full-range loudspeakers, such as the landmark Druid launched in 2001, which pairs a single 10-inch driver with proprietary loading for crossover-free direct amplifier coupling and natural balance in modest spaces. Zu complements these with audiophile cables and select electronics, including single-ended triode-inspired amps like the AC Soul Superfly, prioritizing paper-cone drivers and physics-driven designs over multi-way complexity for dynamic, lifelike playback across genres.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the high-end market, Zu Audio commands a devoted following among audiophiles seeking bold, efficient systems that punch above their price without demanding exotic amplification. Its unconventional approach—high sensitivity, modest footprints, and unapologetic realism—sparks debate yet earns praise from outlets like Stereophile for innovation, appealing to discerning buyers who value American craftsmanship over mainstream polish.
