Soundsupply, now Gearsupply Direct, operates a platform for the secondary market of professional audio, video, lighting, and stage equipment. It facilitates the repurchasing and resale of used production gear, managing high-value asset lifecycles. This provides an efficient channel for equipment disposition and acquisition within the live events and entertainment industries.
Founded in 2017 as Soundsupply, the company began with bulk acquisition of used concert equipment. This cultivated strong industry relationships, becoming a key player in asset disposition for production firms. That foundation evolved into Gearsupply, a marketplace leveraging Soundsupply's established network and sector expertise.
The platform serves a broad customer base, from individual technicians to large production companies acquiring or divesting specialized equipment. Through Gearsupply Direct, Soundsupply enhances resource accessibility and sustainability within the professional AV sector. Its vision maximizes specialized equipment's operational utility, offering a vital service to an equipment-intensive industry.

Soundsupply appears to be a small, Chicago‑area music-tech / e‑commerce company that curates and sells bundled music and music services rather than a large technology firm or investment firm. The company’s public footprint describes a service that curates bundles of music from emerging artists, sells digital downloads and physical formats (including vinyl), and operates an online storefront and related music‑production/ studio services under similar names; business listings place it in Chicago with modest revenue and a small team[5][4][2][6].
