After achieving success in the mid-range market with the LM-1602 model, the company moved to establish an actual factory in 1991. Prior to this, they operated out of a simple room in Edmonds, Washington, where they produced audio mixers. The next model they introduced was the CR-1604, a versatile mixer suitable for both desktop and rack-mounted setups. With its robust performance and competitive pricing, the CR-1604 was a resounding success, selling hundreds of thousands of units by 1996 and accounting for 48% of the company's total revenue at that time.
