"Omar and Naomi did an amazing job on the repair of my Neve 500-series preamp! LOADS of information and communication about the troubleshooting, and then a prompt professional repair! But that is not where it ends...we had an issue with the shipping company not properly accounting for the package, so Omar dedicated hours of his own time to ensure that the item made it back to me. I can't recommend these folks enough - you will be VERY happy with the personal attention that they give to ensure your satisfaction with the repair process. Too bad I can only give them five stars here, they certainly earned ten or more!"

"Can’t say enough good things. I’ll list a few. Professional, kind, smart, punctual, and very informing. Omar is the man….Don’t take your gear anywhere else!
Fixed my Tascam 388 to a condition better than it was first made!"
- Dominic Peluso
"Finally , a PROFESSIONAL that knows what he's doing. Omar at Browner has got it down. Straight up ,no games, extremely fair pricing ,and a very Noble , approachable dude.
He took care of a rare Vox 100 watt head that was noising up real wicked, and then an Orange HD140 that had an intermittent fail in its B channel EQ section. Dude didn't bat an eye on either. Explained to me in detail what he found, and how he resolved both issues. Quick turnaround too.
Look no further, don't waste your time, this is THE guy."

"Let me start by saying that I am an audiophile and I am obsessed with continually improving my system and I am VERY particular. I came to Omar with a challenge to improve the performance of my low watt tube amp. I came with some modification requests and even a parts list. He performed the Mods expertly and while the performance improved significantly, I was not happy with the sound. Mind you, he did exactly what I asked for. But when I shared my thoughts, he made some suggestions and we changed the values of the capacitors using some sexy boutique copper caps. This transformed the amp into one performing at 10x it’s price. Omar is a pro, and understands how to get the most out of your gear but better still he is as passionate and excited to work on the gear as
I am about getting it done. Thank you Omar!"

"The people at Browner sound will take amazing care of your gear and they'll give a straight, honest and opinion regarding the problem to be solved.
I even took one microphone once, and Omar was straight forward with me and told me that it was probably better to buy a new one instead of fixing it, in order for me to save my money.
It's hard to find honest people these days, Omar and Naomi are as reliable as they come and communication has always been wonderful.
Me and my friend have been bringing equipment to them for years and we have always had a wonderful experience.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!"

"There I was, a gig in two weeks and a Fender signature guitar that was cutting out unpredictably whilst playing through a well-respected tube amplifier with deteriorating sound quality. It took one drop-off appointment to Browner Sound to not only fix, but make my guitar road-worthy and dependable. Oh yeah, and the deteriorating amplifier? Sorted. Omar identified the offending tubes and offered me a selection of high quality replacements that has made me so much happier with my tone. Upgraded caps, upgraded tubes, and a solid guitar, makes for a happy Rux. Customer for life! Thank you, Omar!"

"These guys fix everything from mics to guitar pedals to tube amps to studio electronics. They have successfully diagnosed and repaired gear with issues other techs were not able to fix for me. They go far above and beyond most repair shops."

"Got my amp sounding like new again. So happy. Also great price."
- Alejandro
"Called to see if they repair subwoofers and even though they only repair audio consoles, mics, and other input devices, the gentleman that I spoke with was extremely helpful and gave me tons of advice with regards to fixing my equipment. Went completely out of his way to help expecting nothing in return. If I ever have to fix any input audio devices, I can guarantee you that I will be going to these guys. I can see why they have perfect 5 star reviews. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"Found Omar and Browner Sound online and was impressed by his many positive reviews.
He definitely lived up to them!
I took my Altec 436C compressor to him, which I've had for years and have never been convinced was working as well as it should. He gave it a thorough servicing, a re-cap, and bought it back up to spec, and it's now sounding and working great! He even made me a cool little video explaining what he'd done, and demonstrating where the sweet spot in the unit is.
Nice chap, reasonable rates, really knowledgeable and professional. I'd definitely recommend him and will be taking more of my studio gear to him to service."

"Omar is the best there is in south Florida by far. I had some equipment that I had no idea what to do with. Unterminated wires and everything. I went to different technology people with no solution or answers. Came to Omar and he listened to everything I said and was very helpful with problem solving. He helped me find a solution that I was looking for. Browner Sound will always be my #1 go to for anything with audio. I wish I could give them 10 stars."

"Excellent service and great communication. Definitely bringing all my other analog synthesizers to Browner Sound again. Thank you!"

"Omar and Naomi did a stellar job installing vintage electronics on my new bass"
- Craig Rittenhouse
"Top notch service! Omar is an electronics genius. He repaired my recently acquired 1957 Magnatone vintage guitar amp, which had several issues that he diagnosed and fixed. Amp now works like new. All through the process Omar kept me informed about the steps he was taking and what needed to be done. Great communication and the price was extremely fair. Highly recommend. Miami is lucky to have this caliber of service available."
- Robert Marcovich
"Omar and his wife (I’m sorry I can’t remember her name!) are consummate professionals. They were able to completely resurrect (and improve) a vintage tube amp that was sitting dead in storage for nearly a decade. The price was more than fair and probably the best you’ll find around here. I cannot recommend these guys enough for any of your audio equipment needs, especially guitar amps. I hope I don’t have to come back any time soon, but I know that if I ever have a problem with any of my amps that these are the people I will call without hesitation."
- Bernardo Linares
"Omar has done many things from teching my SSL, repairing tube guitar amps to building custom pieces of boutique gear for me. He exceeds all expectations everytime. He is ultra professional and transparent and a master at his craft. Cannot recommend him enough to anyone searching for this service!!"

"I found Omar at Browner Sound through the Google site, read the reviews, and decided to give him a try. I have a 1968 Fender Vibrolux amp, that I have owned for many years, but have not used in the past 8 years or so, and also moved to Florida about 3 years ago. I recently have been trying to play guitar again, and turned on the amp, and of course it was having a lot of background noise that was hard to describe, but when Omar asked me if it sounded like the wind was going through the speakers, that was exactly what it sounded like. I knew I found the right guy. Well the amp is even better than I remember it being. Omar changed two capacitors, two resistors, and one tube, plus found me a vintage handle which was missing from my amp. At first he told me it would be about a week and a half before he got to it, but had it back to me in less than a week. Highly recommend him. Plus he plays guitar, so he understands."
- Aramis Potter
"I recently purchased an Yamaha Mg12xu. when i used it it didn't work for me, i thought i had broken it. When i called and spoke to Omar, he had advised me that call Yamaha, it made me a little angry. He told me the reason is to save me some money, which made me happy, but then proceeded to walk me thru the steps of my mixer. he helped me correct my mistakes and didn't even charge me. Thank you!"

"Took my tube amp in for service after seeing some of their work on instagram. Omar did a top notch job and the price was very reasonable. 5 stars!"

"Rolled up with an SP1200 that had not been functioning for years. I initially took it to the good folks at Technique Records only to be recommended by Craig to peep Omar about the machine being serviced. Omar is the owner of Browner Sound Audio Equipment Repair! Craig suggested I give him a call ASAP. A few hours later I was at their shop waiting outside while he gave it a quick go over. 30 minutes later, I had a working SP and was on my way. These cats and their services are priceless. PAY THEM WHAT THEY ASK! It's well worth it."

"I contacted Browner Sound for a repair I needed to have done on a 1986 Roland Alpha Juno 2 Synthesizer that I purchased locally. Since I've had very bad experiences with other local shops I was a bit hesitant but Omar set my mind at ease, he is a very knowledgeable and a very kind person. Only after about a week he rewired the entire power supply board capacitors which had been installed incorrectly, and he also replaced the screen with a new bright LCD. This synth is as good as new thanks to him. After seeing how good of an experience I had with this repair, I went to drop off an old 1963 Epiphone EA-35T Devon Tremolo Guitar Amp that needed to be recaped, he went ahead and took care of it in the same way as the synth, efficiently and professionally. I'm very happy with Browner's Sound service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any vintage instrument and equipment repairs. Professional service at fair prices, I highly recommend his services. THANKS OMAR!"

"This is hands down the best place if you need someone that knows the real high end audio.
My Sansui receiver sings like a bird after having being in their hands..."
- Daniele Fancello
"If you have high end or pricey vintage music equipment that needs repair this place is the best. These guys are true professionals who have extensive knowledge and experience in this very specialized field. It is truly a passion for them that shows in the quality of their work and the excellence of their customer service. I was reluctant to leave my beloved Mojave Plexi 45 combo amp in the hands of strangers. I read all the glowing reviews on the web site and doubted their authenticity. I am telling you right now these guys are 100% legit. Now my review will be right up there with the rest of them. My amp has never sounded so good and they fixed it quickly. And most surprising of all their prices are reasonable and they guarantee their work."

"I recently had my vintage Urei LA3A repaired and serviced by these guys and I could not recommend them more highly! Total excellence across the board. My LA3A Sounds amazing now and their prices are super reasonable. 10 stars in my book!"

"I have gone through 4 different sound companies and experienced headache after headache until finally dealing with Omar from Browner. In Miami good business practices are hard to come by, and Browner sound is a breath of fresh air. They were on time, specifically reviewed what they would do, and how much it would cost (VERY reasonably priced in comparison with local competition), and communicated with me throughout the entire process to ensure I understood what they were doing. They were efficient, thorough, and extremely understanding about helping us achieve our sound goals. We have a 21 speaker commercial grade sound system that took previous sound companies hours to try and figure out what was wrong. Omar and his team figured it out in no time! THE BEST sound company I have dealt with in South Florida!"
- APPARENTLY LIFE (General Manager at K1 Speed Sports)
"Browner Sound are my "go to" variety of services from guitar amp and pedal repair (the best in SoFL!) to guitar wiring and tape transfer. Omar and his crew are knowledgeable, dependable, and stand by their work. I stand by it too. I love their attention to detail and their customer service is second to none - especially for Miami. I have sent many friends and musical associates their way. Browner Sound is a stand-out in South Florida's music. audio, hi-fi, studio gear repair, modification, and creation scene!"

- Ulysses Molina (musician)
"I received phenomenal service when I used Brower Sound. Naomi helped me throughout the process and was very knowledgeable and helpful. Omar is very insightful and I could tell he has a passion for what he does. This made me trust them with my stuff. They did an exceptional job and got it done quickly too! They fixed my Fender Super Reverb and it's never sounded this good, even when I first got it. Thank you guys!!"

"5 stars! These guys have extensive knowledge regarding vintage studio gear, amps, and modern mods for analog junkies. Skilled and knowledgeable, Omar worked on my older AKG414 with total care and attention to detail, leaving it like new. Will definitely be coming back to have some older studio gear fine tuned. Thank you!"
- Luis Ochoa BOFA (studio engineer)
"Naomi and David have been life savers for our gear here at The Shack North studios. Multiple times we have had gear that other repair shops have called out as irreparable. Browner have brought them back to life despite the challenges. We and our clients are forever grateful for your amazing work and diligence. Not to mention we can always count on a nice shot of cuban coffee when dropping off or picking up gear. Thanks, thanks, thanks!"
- Ferny Coipel (Owner of The Shack North)
"Can't say enough great things about the team at Browner Sound. Omar is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely personable, great to work with. David did the work my amp, and I gotta say, it sounds better than new. The work was done in a timely manner, and communication throughout the process was top notch, I wish more shops to a cue from this. It does a lot to instill confidence in those working on your equipment. I will definitely be using Browner sound for any future needs. Thanks again guys!"
- David Llanos (Apple Genius)
"The only person I found who could fix my electric sax out of 20 repair shops and was able to properly fix my Roland keyboard amp after two different shops previously worked on it and failed. He also fixed my Roland Fantom keyboard. On top of the great work he does, he charges the best prices! Make sure to tip him!"
- Airose Lyron (Studio Musician)
"Omar is a very generous, knowledgeable, and pragmatic dude. I recommend Browner Sound to anyone that not only wants their vintage equipment to work again, but who wants to learn. He helped me troubleshoot my Trident 65 board and made it easy for me to understand! Will work with again!!!"
