What Forecast Consoles does

Forecast Consoles Inc. is a privately held, USA-based custom manufacturer of technical furniture and ergonomic consoles serving broadcast, post-production, radio, houses of worship, arenas and stadiums, and podcast production environments. Founded in 1985 (firmographics note 1978) and headquartered in Hauppauge, New York, the company designs and manufactures each console to customer specifications at its domestic facility, positioning "Made in USA" manufacturing as a core differentiator alongside 40+ years of specialized design experience.

The product portfolio comprises three heritage broadcast lines — MasterVision™, MASTERail™, and Sightline™ — together with the GCX series (GCX-Sit-2-Stand™, GCX-Workstation™, GCX-Continuum™) targeted at continuous-operation control rooms, plus vertical-specific Podcast Tables and an LED Upgrades retrofit add-on. Consoles incorporate rail-based equipment mounting, cable management systems, ergonomic sit-stand mechanics, and aesthetic design suited to on-camera broadcast environments. The firm holds no patents or formal certifications in the disclosed data and operates as a low-software, high-touch custom hardware business.

Forecast Consoles sells exclusively direct via a quote-based model, with no public pricing and no disclosed resellers or distributors. The customer base includes enterprise clients such as The Walt Disney Company, Apple, Amazon AWS, NBC Comcast, Toyota, Northwestern Mutual, HBO, Paramount Plus, Baylor University, and multiple NFL, MLB, and NBA franchises. Marketing is executed through the company website, four social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn), downloadable product catalogs, and participation in industry trade shows including the 2026 IDEA Conference, NeoCon, and Infocomm. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are identified in the source data.

Direct peers

• Raxxess Group: Produces broadcast furniture, equipment racks, and studio integration products for radio, TV, and production facilities. Overlaps with Forecast in technical furniture for broadcast and radio environments.
• TBC Consoles: Designs and builds custom broadcast and control-room consoles for TV stations, network operations centers, and production facilities. Directly competes for the same broadcast-furniture specifications as Forecast.
• Argosy Console: Manufacturer of studio and control-room furniture for broadcast, recording, and post-production environments. Competes for the same specification-driven audio/video technical-furniture budgets.
• Winsted Corporation: US-based manufacturer of custom technical furniture and consoles for broadcast, control rooms, security operations, and 911 dispatch centers. Closest direct peer given similar custom-console model and end-market overlap with Forecast.

Broad incumbents

• Ergotron: Manufacturer of ergonomic sit-stand workstations, monitor arms, and AV carts. The sit-stand capability in its WorkFit and LearnFit lines competes directly with Forecast's GCX-Sit-2-Stand product family in broadcast and control-room contexts.
• Chief Manufacturing (Legrand AV): Large Legrand AV brand producing mounting solutions, display carts, and technical furniture for AV, broadcast, and corporate environments. A broader incumbent whose ergonomic console and mounting products overlap Forecast's GCX and MASTERail lines.
• Middle Atlantic Products: Legrand-owned manufacturer of AV infrastructure including racks, mounting, and console furniture for broadcast and IT. Broader portfolio than Forecast but competes for technical-furniture specification slots in AV and broadcast projects.

Regional players

• LundHalsey: UK-based designer and manufacturer of broadcast and control-room consoles. Comparable product set (custom ergonomic technical furniture) but primarily serves European and international broadcast customers rather than the US market.
