Masimo.com Has Been Down for ‘A Few Days’

May 1, 2025 by Ted 19 Comments

Message on Masimo website recently

For the last two days or so, I have been diligently attempting to find out what is going on at Masimo as the company’s main website – Masimo.com – has been down for at least the last 2½ days (as of the time of this writing on mid-day Thursday)! The only thing visitors find when they navigate to the site is the “be back shortly” message shown above, along with a Masimo logo above it.

Gentex, Owner of Onkyo & Klipsch, Reports 1Q/2025 Results; Sales & Profits Declined

April 30, 2025 by Ted Leave a Comment

Gentex CES 2025 booth

Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX), the new owner of Voxx, Premium Audio Company, Onkyo, Integra, and Klipsch reported the financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025 – the period that ended on March 31, 2025. Note that these results do not include the Voxx et. al. acquisition in its numbers, as that merger did not close until April 1, 2025. Gentex reported declines in sales, gross profit dollars, income from operations, and net income.

And all that happened before the new tariffs launched by the Trump administration took effect in full force.

Premium Audio Company (PAC), a subsidiary of Voxx International Corporation (Nasdaq: VOXX) and soon to be a subsidiary of Gentex Corp.

PAC calls NATM “a leading national buying co-op of top independent retailers in the United States.” The move appears to be a pretty transparent effort to replace sales volume lost when major buying group ProSource dropped all PAC brands from its list of supported products.
