DIY Workshops
Build your own Tube Amplifier.
The most economical way to get a top notch audio system is to build one yourself. We will help you to manifest a wonderful sounding tube amplifier that you can service and modify yourself.
We have been offering DIY workshops in Paarl and Gauteng over the past ten years, and we have all the experience to guide you through a successful build of your chosen kit.
Our kits are developed with ease of construction and superior sonics as the goal, showcasing our OEM enclosures, transformers and layouts.
No prior experience is necessary. That said, any experience in soldering will be an advantage. If you want to pursue DIY tube amplifiers as a hobby, then you will need to acquire your own soldering station, solder lead and basic tools. (We have one set of tools at our workshop available for attendees with no tools.)
Choose one of our HiFi or Guitar Amplifier kits, and contact us.

Projects take two to three days to complete. You go home with a playing amplifier. If you prefer to work at a slower pace, you can do the workshop over as many days as you choose.
Paarl has some wonderful bed and breakfasts, and breathtaking farm estate accommodation. Why not plan a visit to the Winelands and build an amplifier too?
We also present two day workshops nationwide, especially in the big centers. If we have four or more people wanting to commit to a place and date, we are likely to organize an event. If you have four people who want to do the workshop, contact us. We will liase with all participants, organise the event and fix the dates.

At Mars Tube Audio we have the experience, knowledge and skill to hand craft audio gear that sounds excellent. We manufacture and offer support from our workshop in Paarl, South Africa.
Warranty
