Manhattan store now closed and consolidated with Queens location


Sixty years ago, in 1956, our father Stanley founded Dale Electronics. The original location was on 14th Street, in the Meat-Packing District. That's a fancy neighborhood now, but back then they actually packed meat.

In 1980, needing more space, Dale moved to East 20th Street, in the Flatiron District. Then in 2004, as our Pro Audio business became predominant, we moved around the corner to 19th Street. Many of you remember the great seminars and demo events we had there.

In 2014, we moved our primary operations to Jamaica, Queens. In this large space we've built demo studios, a unique event space, and a retail area. Please, come visit us! (Free parking, and only 3 short blocks from the LIRR and E trains)

Since 2014 we've maintained a Manhattan satellite office at the same location on 19th Street. But over the past 10 years, commercial rents in Manhattan have exploded.

And so, effective November 18th, 2016, our Manhattan office is permanently closed and consolidated with our Jamaica, Queens location.

For the large majority of you, this change will have absolutely no effect: same salesperson, same process, same level of service.

For those customers who generally pickup orders from our Manhattan location, be assured that your satisfaction is our priority, and we will strive to make this transition as seamless as possible for you.

We thank you for your attention, and of course, for your loyalty. We look forward to providing you with the best Pro Audio solutions for years to come.

Our Best Regards,

Valerie Lager & Michael Lager
Co-owners of Dale Pro Audio
