Townshend Audio is an audio engineering company from London, the UK.[1] It was founded by Australian born engineer Max Townshend in 1975. Max died in December 2021.[2][3][4][5]

Max developed the front-end damping tonearm trough for turntables to minimise vibrations with record playback[6] furthermore he pioneered vibration isolation technology for various audio equipment,[7] prior to which audiophiles considered spikes to be the best approach to coupling speakers to the floor to minimise sound distortion.[8] His engineering innovations and unique design engineering solutions remain popular in the audiophile sphere although there have been harsh critics and detractors amongst audiophiles.[9][10]
