In the early 1970s Cerwin-Vega began marketing their 'Residential' line of speakers with the Model 24 and Model 26. Earliest known models have no serial number or model numbers on the crossovers plates and these are believed to be production prototypes of what would become C-V's popular 12' 3-way speaker systems. The earliest known Vega Laboratory speakers were hand made and contained Jensen branded woofers, sealed mid-ranges and horn tweeters in a ported enclosure with a Vega Labs-built crossover. Cerwin-Vega sells internationally from two main locations one in Deerfield Beach, FL, and the other location in Brussels, Belgium, while manufacturing their pro products primarily in Malaysia and home products primarily in China. Later, the Stanton Group was wholly acquired by Gibson Guitar Company on December 5, 2011, and Gibson currently holds Cerwin Vega, KRK Systems, and Stanton brands under their Gibson Pro Audio division. The brand name of Cerwin-Vega was effectively split across two companies, Cerwin-Vega Mobile which handled products specifically for mobile applications and Cerwin-vega for all remaining products. Then, in 2007 Stanton sold off the mobile products division to CVM Acquisition Services (a sister company to Diamond Audio Technologies) LLC.

Originally a stand-alone company, Cerwin-Vega was acquired by the Stanton Group after declaring bankruptcy in 2003. Cerwin-Vega is a brand named used on products for professional audio components, as well as home audio speakers, and car audio components.
