The Global Car Lifestyle

EMMA was founded to create a level playing field for car audio sound quality competitions in Europe and to unify the different rulebooks that are used all over the continent. EMMA Australia is the Australian affiliate of that mission.

Taking Australian Car Audio to the World

EMMA Australia is the official Australian affiliate, joining the EMMA Asia division. This is an exciting step, as it means, for the first time, Australian cars will be able to compete on fair and equal terms on the much bigger global stage.

 

Our vision is simple: to build a community driven organisation that energises the car audio scene, respects its members, raises the bar for everyone, spreads the love of car audio through the greater community and to be the dynamic catalyst that fuels a thriving car audio industry.

 

We know that trust is earned. That is why the future success of EMMA Australia is not built on a single ideal, but on the following 5 core fundamentals:

  1. A Community Driven Model 
    EMMA Australia belongs to its members. We are moving beyond a traditional hierarchy to a model run by the community, for the community. A representative committee of experienced enthusiasts will work collaboratively to ensure transparency and serve the best interests of everyone … from industry professionals to first-time competitors.

  2. Integrity and World-Class Standards
    We are committed to a level playing field where skill and passion are rewarded. Our competitions will strictly adhere to EMMA Global guidelines. To guarantee unbiased, world-class standards from day one, we are investing in flying in experienced international judges. This ensures fair scoring while we mentor and train a new generation of independent Australian judges.


  3. The EMMA Academy: Elevating Industry Standards
    We are committed to raising the technical standard of the Australian car audio industry with the launch of the EMMA Academy - a dedicated educational initiative focused on professional excellence. Through targeted masterclasses in advanced fabrication, system design, DSP tuning, and so much more, we aim to provide industry professionals with the skills needed to refine their craft and keep up with global trends. By establishing these professional benchmarks, we ensure that world-class knowledge is also accessible to the dedicated competitors following in their footsteps.


  4. Passion, Connection, and Fun
    Above all, car audio is about enjoying the music and the machine. We believe every event should be a celebration of our shared passion. Whether you win a trophy or just share a laugh, our priority is to create an engaging, welcoming atmosphere where every attendee leaves with a smile and spreads the love that is car audio.


  5. Fuelling Industry Growth 
    We believe that healthy competition is the spark that reignites the love for car audio. While we exist to serve the dedicated competitor striving for perfection, we will actively capture a new generation yet to discover the true joy of car audio. By showcasing a level of quality that everyday drivers didn't realise was possible, we turn curiosity into passion and drive traffic from our events back to the workshops. EMMA Australia will be the dynamic catalyst that fuels a thriving car audio industry.
