Question about manufacturing locations

Lab KeyLab
#1

Hey all… as I am considering a purchase soon… (well, perhaps waiting for the Mk3) I am curious about the country of manufacture for the KeyLab controllers… I know Arturia is headquartered in France, is all their manufacturing there, or is it China like most everyone else’s?

Could not find this info on the website.

Microfreak and Polybrute both say Made in China. I’d assume the rest of their hardware is as well.

The keybed of the 88 is made by Fatar in Italy. As far as I’m aware, everything else is Chinese-made, though I don’t have any inside knowledge. I’ve repaired KeyLab keybeds before and they most definitely were PRC because the writing on the circuitboard was in Manderin.

Thanks everyone. China is unavoidable in most things.
