Lynx Dealer Spotlight (February 2023): Sweetwater Sound

The story of Sweetwater is a tale of American success in every way. Chuck Surack was a young musician who grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In 1979, he put together a mobile recording studio in the back of his VW bus, later upgrading his studio to a stationary recording facility in his home that he named Sweetwater Sound. When he purchased a Kurzweil K250 synthesizer in 1985, he began designing his own sounds for the keyboard, which led to him selling these new sound libraries and establishing relationships with a wide variety of professional musicians.

Chuck’s sound design clients also needed other instruments and pro audio gear, and Sweetwater began its life as a retailer. Over the years, through mail order and then online sales, Sweetwater grew into an industry leader serving millions of customers and employing a team of thousands. Today, they are acknowledged as the country’s number one eCommerce provider of music instruments and pro audio gear, reaching $1.57B in sales in 2022. In 2023, Sweetwater was named by Newsweek as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity. They are a company who truly cares about its employees, customers, and suppliers.
