It depends on whether we have stock of your ordered model and configuration (e.g. faceplate color) on hand. Typically, units leave the factory between 2 and 7 business days after ordering. Every unit is individually tested prior to despatch.
We regularly attend and exhibit at audio shows, including the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Many of our dealers have a DEQX set up for audition, and you may be able to use our home audition program.
