SME

SME was formed in 1946 under the name “The Scale Model Equipment Company” to manufacture scale models and parts for the model engineering trade. During the 1950s SME moved away from model making to precision engineering, principally parts for aircraft instruments and business machines.

In 1959 Alastair Robertson-Aikman, the Company’s founder, required a pick-up arm for his own use and an experimental model was built. It received such an enthusiastic reception from friends in the sound industry that it was decided to produce it commercially and the first SME precision pick-up arm appeared in September 1959. At this time the company’s name was changed to SME Limited, a less committal title to suit its new activities.

What clients are saying

  • Like Santa Claus...

    Verdant Audio is, by far, the best dealer of audio equipment I have ever dealt with and I am on the West Coast while Verdant is on the East Coast. Scott, the owner, is like the Santa Claus in the movie "Miracle on 34th St.": He makes recommendations about what audio equipment best suits your tastes whether he carries those lines or not. He gives you an opportunity to try products he has in stock. And he works with you, after the sale to make sure your happy even if it means returning a purchase. Who else does all the things?

  • I've had the great pleasure..

    ... of dealing with Scott Bierfeldt at Verdant Audio on a number of recent transactions. I’ve been a serious high-end audio enthusiast for decades and Scott is hands down the best audio dealer with whom I’ve worked. Scott’s audio knowledge is truly impressive. His style is entirely consultive with no sales pressure at all. Working with Scott is like taking audio advice from a good friend that is guiding me to the best choices. In addition, Verdant Audio has an exceptional selection of very fine audio gear. Scott and Verdant are highly recommended.ontent
