RSL Speakers, which is primarily known for their low-priced factory-direct home audio subwoofers and speakers, has opened a new distribution warehouse in Melbourne, VIC. This will allow Australian customers to access nearly all the same benefits enjoyed by RSL’s American customers.
For over 50 years, RSL Speakers (previously known as Rogersound Labs) has served customers worldwide from their headquarters in southern California. American customers of RSL have long enjoyed advantages such as free shipping, expert audio advice, and comprehensive technical support—including a 30-day in-home trial.
For Australian customers, having to contend with significant air freight costs, taxes and duties has been a significant barrier to experiencing the RSL Speakers lineup.
All of that is about to change.
With this expansion, RSL will include GST in prices at checkout along with limited free shipping (additional costs may apply for remote areas and heavier items). Customers can also expect swift order processing, typically within 1-2 business days, ensuring customers don’t have to wait long to enjoy their new RSL investment.
“We’re excited to bring our factory-direct audio solutions closer to our customers in Australia,” said RSL Speakers Owner/CTO/EVP, Drew Kallen.
“This expansion is part of strategic plan to grow our direct business model to better serve our international community, delivering the same exceptional quality, value, and support we’re known for,” remarked RSL founder, Joe Rodgers.

Prepare to be thunderstruck.
