THE ELITE CORE DIFFERENCE
From our expert sales reps, top-tier technicians, and exceptional customer service, to our hand-built in the USA production gear, we strive to set ourselves apart from other manufacturers and distributors in the industry by creating more than just solid gear. Our clients are why we do what we do, and we will continue to strive to create an exceptional experience from customer contact, to product use for all of our customers.
THE ELITE CORE DIFFERENCE
Our attention to detail sets us apart. From how we solder to how we pack a box for shipment, we are obsessed with perfection. If it's not perfect, it's not good enough to ship.
Our relationships set us apart. We strive to know each of our customers and serve them as we would want to be served. We work hard to remember the smallest of details, preferences, and requests from each of our clients.
Our speed sets us apart. We work fast. We ship fast. Custom built and color engraved items ship faster than anyone in our industry. Custom stenciled cases and racks fly out of our warehouse with amazing speed.
OUR FOUNDERS
OUR FOUNDERS
Chris Ward
President
Chris has been an active member of the AVL industry for over 25 years, initially managing Sigler Music, an Arkansas-based chain of music stores and one of the nation’s largest online music equipment retailers. During his time with Sigler, Chris oversaw the creation of many national brands, including OSP Cases, SuperFlex Gold, VRL Cables, and Elite Core Audio.
After becoming the co-owner of Elite Core in 2014, Chris has overseen the implementation and development of many new company initiatives, including the transition to the manufacturing of high-end power and cabling products in the USA.
If you can’t get ahold of him at the office, he’s probably hosting a taco night at his house or re-mulching his flower beds. At his happiest, you’ll find him sitting on a Hawaiian beach with his wife or watching his grandkids fight over who gets to use the blue noodle in the pool.
Trey McClurkin
Vice-President
Trey has been co-owner of Elite Core since its inception in 2014. An entrepreneur at heart, through the years he has owned a sound production company, a DJ business, a video and photography production company, and an online music equipment retail store.
Prior to joining Elite Core, Trey was the owner and operator of one of the most successful Elite Core wholesale dealers to date. He also was the founding drummer in the rock band Skillet, for those of you who are curious if Saturn actually does have a ring around it.
When he’s not at the office, you’re likely to find Trey doing…well, just about anything. If he’s not riding his road bike or setting up AVL for a local conference, he’s serving in the kid’s ministry of his church or cheering on his children with his wife at an [insert any extra-curricular] event.
OUR HISTORY
Elite Core has been providing the production industry with top-tier gear since [YEAR].
Over the years we have continued to seek out the best ways to accommodate and support the growing industry with cutting edge product design and technology.

OUR HISTORY
Elite Core has provided the production and AVL industry with top-tier gear and exceptional service since 2005.
Late in 2021, we moved into our forever-home. Our headquarters sits just north of Little Rock, Arkansas, in a town called Greenbrier. Serving as the largest private employer in the area, our office space, manufacturing facility, and warehouse were built with one goal in mind - to provide the space, tools, and access needed to provide our clients with the best gear on the market. From hand-built in the USA cables, PERSEUS Snakes, OSP Cases, and pre-built cables, to custom designed metalwork, we're proud to offer everything needed to make your job easier and your productions flawless.
