About M-VAVE
M-VAVE is a Chinese musical instrument technology brand specializing in affordable digital music equipment, including guitar effects processors, wireless audio systems, MIDI controllers, synthesizers, practice amplifiers, and music production accessories. The brand is owned by Zhuhai Shengke Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a high-tech company headquartered in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. M-VAVE has become well known among musicians for offering feature-rich products at competitive prices, making it particularly popular with beginners, hobbyists, and budget-conscious professionals.

History
Zhuhai Shengke Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2017. The company initially entered the consumer audio market under the M-VAVE and CUVAVE brands, focusing on wireless audio transmission technology and digital signal processing. As its expertise expanded, the company shifted toward professional music equipment, developing guitar processors, wireless systems, MIDI controllers, and software ecosystems for musicians. [2]
Among musicians, the older CUVAVE branding is still widely recognized. Many products were originally sold under the CUVAVE name before the company gradually transitioned to M-VAVE branding in many markets. Community discussions and the company’s own materials indicate that the two brands refer to products from the same manufacturer. [3]
