		Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	a)Description of Business
	VOXX International Corporation ("Voxx," "We," "Our," "Us" or "the Company") is a leading international manufacturer and distributor in the Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories industries. The Company has widely diversified interests, with more than 30 global brands that it has acquired and grown throughout the years, achieving a powerful international corporate image and creating a vehicle for each of these respective brands to emerge with its own identity. We conduct our business through eighteen wholly-owned subsidiaries: Audiovox Atlanta Corp., VOXX Electronics Corporation, VOXX Accessories Corp., Audiovox Consumer Electronics, Inc. ("ACE"), Audiovox German Holdings GmbH ("Voxx Germany"), Audiovox Venezuela, C.A., Audiovox Canada Limited, Audiovox Hong Kong Ltd., Audiovox International Corp., Audiovox Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Audiovox Mexico"), Code Systems, Inc., Oehlbach Kabel GmbH ("Oehlbach"), Schwaiger GmbH ("Schwaiger"), Invision Automotive Systems, Inc. ("Invision"), Klipsch Holding LLC ("Klipsch"), Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann"), Omega Research and Development, LLC ("Omega") and Audiovox Websales LLC. We market our products under the Audiovox® brand name, other brand names and licensed brands, such as 808®, AR for Her®, Acoustic Research®, Advent®, Ambico®, Car Link®, Chapman®, Code-Alarm®, Energy®, Heco®, Hirschmann Car Communication®, Incaar™, Invision®, Jamo®, Jensen®, Klipsch®, Mac Audio™, Magnat®, Mirage®, Oehlbach®, Omega®, Phase Linear®, Prestige®, Pursuit®, RCA®, RCA Accessories®, Schwaiger®, Spikemaster®, Recoton®, Road Gear®, and Terk®, as well as private labels through a large domestic and international distribution network.  We also function as an OEM ("Original Equipment Manufacturer") supplier to several customers.
	b)Principles of Consolidation, Reclassifications and Accounting Principles
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company acquired Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann") on March 14, 2012. The consolidated financial statements presented for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 include the operations of Hirschmann beginning March 14, 2012.
	Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.  The Company's share of its equity method investees' earnings or losses is included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company eliminates its pro rata share of gross profit on sales to its equity method investees for inventory on hand at the investee at the end of the year. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.
	Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
	The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
	c)Use of Estimates
	The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  Such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation, recoverability of deferred tax assets, reserve for uncertain tax positions, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation, valuation and impairment assessment of investment securities, goodwill, trademarks and other intangible assets, valuation of pension plan assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	d)Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and highly liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $8,448 and $10,603 at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively.  Cash amounts held in foreign bank accounts amounted to $8,072 and $9,080 at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively. The majority of these amounts are in excess of government insurance. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in institutions and funds of high credit quality. We perform periodic evaluations of these institutions and funds.
	e)Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives
	The Company applies the authoritative guidance on "Fair Value Measurements," which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.
	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using the Company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
	The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2015:
						Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
						Level 1				Level 2
	Cash and cash equivalents:
	Cash and money market funds	$	8,448			$	8,448			$	—
	Derivatives
	Designated for hedging	$	3,111			$	—			$	3,111

	Trading securities	$	4,511			$	4,511			$	—

	Other investments at amortized cost (a)	8,162				—				—
	Total investment securities	$	12,688			$	4,526			$	—
	The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2014:
						Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
						Level 1				Level 2
	Cash and cash equivalents:
	Cash and money market funds	$	10,603			$	10,603			$	—
	Derivatives
	Designated for hedging	$	(963	)		$	—			$	(963	)
	Investment securities:
	Trading securities	$	4,234			$	4,234			$	—
	Available-for-sale securities	3				3				—
	Other investments at amortized cost (a)	9,865				—				—
	Total investment securities	$	14,102			$	4,237			$	—
	(a)	Included in this balance is the Company's held-to-maturity investment in bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which are recorded at amortized cost taking into consideration the currency devaluation in Venezuela (See Note 1(f)). Additionally, this amount includes investments in three non-controlled corporations accounted for by the cost method (See Note 1(f)). The fair value of these investments would be based upon Level 3 inputs. At February 28, 2015 and 2014, it is not practicable to estimate the fair values of these bonds and cost method investments.
	The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable, short-term debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank obligations and long-term debt approximates fair value because of (i) the short-term nature of the financial instrument; (ii) the interest rate on the financial instrument being reset every quarter to reflect current market rates, and (iii) the stated or implicit interest rate approximates the current market rates or are not materially different than market rates.
	Derivative Instruments
	The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases, local operating expenses, as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. During Fiscal 2014, the Company also entered into three interest rate swap agreements, two of which hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its credit facility ("Credit Facility") (see Note 6), and the third hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of one of its mortgage notes, with monthly payments due through May 2023. The two swap agreements related to the Credit Facility lock the Company's LIBOR rates at 0.515% and 0.518% (exclusive of credit spread) for the respective agreements through the swaps' maturities on February 28, 2017 and April 29, 2016, respectively. The notional amounts of these two swaps were $30,000 and $25,000 at February 28, 2015. The swap agreement related to the Company's mortgage locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.92% (inclusive of credit spread) through the end of the mortgage. The notional amount of this swap was $6,500 at February 28, 2015. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2). The duration of open forward foreign currency contracts range from 1 - 12 months and are classified in the balance sheet according to their terms. Interest rate swap agreements qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap contracts designated as the hedging instruments and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap contract (Level 2). We calculate the fair value of interest rate swap agreements quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Interest rate swaps are classified in the balance sheet as either non-current assets or non-current liabilities based on the fair value of the instruments at the end of the period.
	It is the Company's policy to enter into derivative instrument contracts with terms that coincide with the underlying exposure being hedged. As such, the Company's derivative instruments are expected to be highly effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized as incurred through Other Income (Expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and amounted to $(85), $(156) and $30 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 respectively.
	Financial Statement Classification
	The Company holds derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments. The following table discloses the fair value as of February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014 for derivative instruments:
			Derivative Assets and Liabilities
					Fair Value
			Account		February 28, 2015				February 28, 2014
	Designated derivative instruments
	Foreign currency contracts		Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		$	—			$	(784	)
			Prepaid expenses and other current assets		3,180				—
	Interest rate swaps		Other long term liabilities		(69		)		(179		)
	Total derivatives				$	3,111			$	(963	)
	In connection with the acquisition of Hirschmann, on March 14, 2012, the Company acquired contracts which were unable to qualify for hedge accounting. None of these contracts remained outstanding at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014. Four of these contracts settled during the year ended February 28, 2014 for a gain of $32. During the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, the Company recorded gains on the change in fair value of these derivatives of $48 in Other Income (Expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and a gain upon the settlement of such contracts of $106.
	Cash flow hedges
	During Fiscal 2015, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts, which have a current outstanding notional value of $38,440 and are designated as cash flow hedges. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Current Investments
Held-to-Maturity Investment
Current investments include an investment in sovereign bonds issued by the Venezuelan government, which is classified as held-to-maturity and accounted for under the amortized cost method. These bonds mature in March 2015 and are classified as current assets at February 28, 2015.
The Company recorded remeasurement losses during Fiscal 2015 totaling $(7,396) in Other Income (Expense). The remeasurement loss was based on a change in the exchange rate anticipated upon redemption of the bonds.  In September 2014, the Company received information, in addition to receipt of its semi-annual interest payment, that this redemption rate would be the official exchange rate of 6.3 Bolivars/$1 which differed from the SICAD 2 rate previously used to remeasure the bonds during the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, as well as the SIMADI rate used to remeasure the Venezuela subsidiary's financial statements (except for the bonds), at February 28, 2015 (See Note 1(p) for definitions). These bonds matured in March 2015 and the Company received the balance due of $275.
Long-Term Investments
Trading Securities
The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan (see Note 10). Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.
Available-For-Sale Securities
The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. ("Cellstar") and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited ("Bliss-tel").
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis and reported in Other Income (Expense).
A decline in the market value of any held to maturity or available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.  The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. No other-than-temporary losses were incurred for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 or February 28, 2013.
Other Long-Term Investments
Other long-term investments include investments in three non-controlled corporations accounted for by the cost method. The Company's investment in Rx Networks totaled $1,887 and $2,225 at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively, and we held 15.3% of the outstanding shares of this company as of February 28, 2015. During Fiscal 2015, the Company received a payment of $250 from Rx Networks as a repayment of funds loaned to the company in Fiscal 2013. No additional investments or loans were made in or to Rx Networks in Fiscal 2014 or Fiscal 2015. During Fiscal 2015, the Company invested $3,000 each in Eyelock, Inc. and EyeSee360, Inc. The Company holds 4.1% and 6.5% of the outstanding shares, or their convertible equivalents, of these two companies, respectively, as of February 28, 2015. The total balance of these three investments at February 28, 2015 was $7,887.
g)Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer either at FOB shipping point or FOB destination, based upon terms established with the customer. The Company's selling price to its customers is a fixed amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment or contingent upon additional rebates.  Any customer acceptance provisions, which are related to product testing, are satisfied prior to revenue recognition. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition except for product returns from the Company's customers. The Company does accept product returns, if properly requested, authorized, and approved by the Company. The Company records an estimate of product returns by its customers and records the provision for the estimated amount of such future returns at point of sale, based on historical experience and any notification the Company receives of pending returns.
The Company includes all costs incurred for shipping and handling as cost of sales and all amounts billed to customers as revenue. During the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014, and February 28, 2013, freight costs expensed through cost of sales amounted to $17,530, $19,221 and $18,762, respectively and freight billed to customers amounted to $1,167, $1,543 and $990, respectively.
h)Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from companies in the retail, mass merchant and OEM industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contracted payment terms are considered past due.
Accounts receivable is comprised of the following:
	February 28,				February 28,
	2015				2014
Trade accounts receivable and other	$	110,447			$	155,132
Less:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	6,491				6,889
Allowance for cash discounts	1,190				1,189
	$	102,766			$	147,054
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers' current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within management's expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have been experienced in the past. Since the Company's accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of the Company's accounts receivable and future operating results.
The Company has supply chain financing agreements ("factoring agreements") with certain financial institutions to accelerate receivable collection and better manage cash flow. Under the factoring agreements, the Company has agreed to sell these institutions certain of its accounts receivable balances. For those accounts receivables tendered to the banks and that the banks choose to purchase, the banks have agreed to advance an amount equal to the net accounts receivable balances due, less a discount as set forth in the respective agreements. The factored balances under these agreements are sold without recourse and are accounted for as sales of accounts receivable. The Company's most recent factoring agreement was entered into by Hirschmann during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015, which enables the subsidiary to factor up to €17,000 of its accounts receivable balance at a time. Total balances factored under all agreements, net of discounts, for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 were approximately $182,000, $100,000 and $77,000, respectively. Fees incurred in connection with the factoring agreements totaled $866, $258 and $213 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
i)Inventory
The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving-average basis with a portion valued at standard cost, which approximates actual costs on the first-in, first-out basis) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory. Market value of inventory does not exceed the net realizable value of the inventory and is not less than the net realizable value of such inventory, less an allowance for a normal profit margin. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations and purchase orders.  The Company's industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand. In addition, and as necessary, specific reserves for future known or anticipated events may be established.  The Company recorded inventory write-downs of $2,877, $3,602 and $4,300 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
Inventories by major category are as follows:
	February 28,				February 28,
	2015				2014
Raw materials	$	47,307			$	32,193
Work in process	3,722				4,664
Finished goods	105,620				107,482
Inventory, net	$	156,649			$	144,339
j)Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property under a capital lease is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Major improvements and replacements that extend service lives of the assets are capitalized. Minor replacements, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
A summary of property, plant and equipment, net, is as follows:
	February 28,				February 28,
	2015				2014
Land	$	8,761			$	6,652
Buildings	37,078				44,378
Property under capital lease	1,557				8,473
Furniture and fixtures	5,066				4,951
Machinery and equipment	31,052				30,512
Construction-in-progress	1,845				1,856
Computer hardware and software	36,550				33,738
Automobiles	1,459				1,236
Leasehold improvements	7,192				10,505
	130,560				142,301
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization	60,777				59,079
	$	69,783			$	83,222
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings		20-30 years
Furniture and fixtures		5-10 years
Machinery and equipment		5-10 years
Computer hardware and software		3-5 years
Automobiles		3 years
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the term of the respective lease. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital lease totaled $817 and $4,475 at February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During December 2014, the Company terminated one of its capital leases, which had been leased from a related party (See Note 11).
Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment amounted to $10,187, $10,252 and $10,440 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is amortization of computer software costs of $1,200, $1,300 and $794 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively. Also included in depreciation and amortization expense is $455, $439 and $483 of amortization expense related to property under capital leases for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
Refer to Note 1(p) for discussion of long-lived asset impairment charges recorded for the year ended February 28, 2015 related to buildings held by the Company's Venezuela subsidiary.
k)Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess over the fair value of assets acquired (goodwill), and other intangible assets (patents, contracts, trademarks/tradenames and customer relationships).  Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805") and ASC 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350").
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. Generally, the primary valuation method used to determine the fair value ("FV") of acquired businesses is the Discounted Future Cash Flow Method ("DCF").  A five-year period is analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate.
The value of potential intangible assets separate from goodwill are independently evaluated and assigned to the respective categories.  The largest categories from recently acquired businesses are Trademarks and Customer Relationships. The FV’s of trademarks acquired are determined using the Relief from Royalty Method based on projected sales of the trademarked products.  The FV’s of customer relationships are determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method which includes a DCF analysis, adjusted for a required return on tangible and intangible assets. The Company categorizes this fair value determination as Level 3 (unobservable) in the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1(e). The guidance in ASC 350, including management’s business intent for its use; ongoing market demand for products relevant to the category and their ability to generate future cash flows; legal, regulatory or contractual provisions on its use or subsequent renewal, as applicable; and the cost to maintain or renew the rights to the assets, are considered in determining the useful life of all intangible assets.  If the Company determines that there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors which limit the useful life of the asset, an indefinite life will be assigned and evaluated for impairment as indicated below.  Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized.  Intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful life.
ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment exist. To determine the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, there are many assumptions and estimates used that directly impact the results of the testing. Management has the ability to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates chosen. If a significant change in these assumptions and/or estimates occurs, the Company could experience impairment charges, in addition to those noted below, in future periods.
Goodwill is tested using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, primarily trademarks, the Company compared the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying amount. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives is amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives.
Voxx's reporting units that carry goodwill are Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch. The Company has three operating segments based upon its products and internal organizational structure (see Note 13). These operating segments are the Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories segments. The Hirschmann and Invision reporting units are located within the Automotive segment and the Klipsch reporting unit is located within the Premium Audio segment. The discount rate (developed using a weighted average cost of capital analysis) used in the goodwill test ranged from 13.3% to 13.7% for the February 28, 2015 testing date. Based on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment, all reporting units with goodwill had estimated fair values as of February 28, 2015 that exceeded their carrying values. The goodwill balances of Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch at February 28, 2015 are $51,968, $7,373 and $46,533, respectively.
For the year ended February 28, 2014, upon completion of the annual Step 1 assessment, the estimated fair value of the Klipsch reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amount, including goodwill. As a result, the second phase of the goodwill impairment test ("Step 2") was performed specific to Klipsch. Under Step 2, the fair value of all Klipsch's assets and liabilities were estimated, including tangible and intangible assets. The implied fair value of the goodwill as a residual was then compared to the recorded goodwill to determine the amount of impairment. As a result of this analysis, an impairment charge of $32,163 was recorded for goodwill for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Premium Audio segment.
To estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, we utilized a Relief-from-Royalty Method, applying royalty rates of 0.8% to 7.5% for the relative trademarks and domain name after reviewing comparable market rates, the profitability of the products associated with relative intangible assets, and other qualitative factors. We determined that risk-adjusted discount rates ranging from 13% to 14.4% were appropriate as a result of weighted average cost of capital analyses. As a result of this analysis, it was determined the Company's indefinite lived trademarks were not impaired at February 28, 2015. Impairment losses of $21,715 were recorded related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the year ended February 28, 2014. As a result of the impairment recorded in Fiscal 2014, indicators of impairment existed which required the Company to evaluate the related long-lived assets at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. As a result of this further analysis, no additional impairments of the long-lived assets were recorded other than the abandonment noted below as of February 28, 2014.
The Fiscal 2014 impairment charges were the result of various indicators that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Specifically, certain of our consumer electronic and premium audio product lines experienced significantly lower than expected performance. In addition, indications of near-term shortfalls for certain products within these lines were apparent. Taking these factors into account, along with long-term industry forecasts, the Company had re-evaluated its projections. Further, some of the weighted-average cost of capital rates increased in Fiscal 2014 as a result of higher stock volatility of market participants, as compared to overall market returns. All of these factors led to the Fiscal 2014 impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles.
During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, the Company made a business decision to abandon its Technuity business and restructure the marketing and use of the Company's domain name. These decisions resulted in an impairment of the related definite and indefinite lived intangible assets, as well as the long-lived assets in accordance with ASC360 "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). As a result, an impairment charge of $3,683 was recorded related to both definite and indefinite lived tradenames, customer relationships and long-lived fixed assets.
Management has determined that the current lives of its long-lived assets are appropriate. Management has determined that there were no other indicators of impairment that would cause the carrying values related to intangible assets with definite lives to exceed their expected future cash flows at February 28, 2015.

The weighted-average remaining amortization period for amortizing intangibles as of February 28, 2015 is approximately 11 years. The Company expenses the renewal costs of patents as incurred. The weighted-average period before the next patent renewal is approximately 8 years.
Amortization expense for intangible assets amounted to $5,378, $5,931 and $5,790 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.  At February 28, 2015, the estimated aggregate amortization expense for all amortizable intangibles for each of the succeeding five years is as follows:
Fiscal Year		Amount
2016		$	5,584
2017		5,569
2018		5,513
2019		5,347

l)Sales Incentives
The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances.  The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with ASC 605-50 "Customer Payments and Incentives" ("ASC 605-50").  Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase the Company's products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a certain time period (referred to as the "claim period") and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a cash payout.  All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales. The following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:
Co-operative advertising allowances are offered to customers as reimbursement towards their costs for print or media advertising in which the Company’s product is featured on its own or in conjunction with other companies' products.  The amount offered is either a fixed amount or is based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
Market development funds are offered to customers in connection with new product launches or entrance into new markets.  The amount offered for new product launches is based upon a fixed amount, or percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
Volume incentive rebates offered to customers require minimum quantities of product to be purchased during a specified period of time. The amount offered is either based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer. The Company makes an estimate of the ultimate amount of the rebate their customers will earn based upon past history with the customers and other facts and circumstances. The Company has the ability to estimate these volume incentive rebates, as the period of time for a particular rebate to be claimed is relatively short.  Any changes in the estimated amount of volume incentive rebates are recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The Company accrues the cost of co-operative advertising allowances, volume incentive rebates and market development funds at the latter of when the customer purchases our products or when the sales incentive is offered to the customer.
Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives the Company provides to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. The Company records the provision for these additional sales incentives at the latter of when the sales incentive is offered or when the related revenue is recognized. Such additional sales incentives are based upon a fixed percentage of the selling price to the customer, a fixed amount per unit, or a lump-sum amount.
The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014 was $14,097 and $17,401, respectively.  Although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customers and the lack of claims made by customers, could have a significant impact on the sales incentives liability and reported operating results.
For the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $1,302, $1,990 and $3,350, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Reversals of unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Unearned sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 amounted to $1,294, $1,935 and $2,933, respectively.  Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer, but the customer has not claimed payment from the Company within the claim period (period after program has ended). Unclaimed sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 amounted to $8, $55 and $417, respectively.
The Company reverses earned but unclaimed sales incentives based upon the expiration of the claim period of each program.  Unclaimed sales incentives that have no specified claim period are reversed in the quarter following one year from the end of the program. The Company believes the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a systematic, rational, consistent and conservative method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives.
A summary of the activity with respect to accrued sales incentives is provided below:
	Year				Year				Year
	Ended				Ended				Ended
	February 28,				February 28,				February 28,
	2015				2014				2013
Opening balance	$	17,401			$	16,821			$	18,154
Accruals	35,350				37,114				35,636

Reversals for unclaimed sales incentives	(8		)		(55		)		(417		)
Ending balance	$	14,097			$	17,401			$	16,821
The majority of the reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities pertain to sales recorded in prior periods.
m)Advertising
Excluding co-operative advertising, the Company expensed the cost of advertising, as incurred, of $10,722, $12,097 and $9,499 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
n)Research and Development
Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenditures amounted to $20,777, $21,267 and $15,890 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively, net of customer reimbursement, and are included within Engineering and Technical Support expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company enters into development and long-term supply agreements with certain of its OEM customers. Revenues earned from the development services are recorded based upon the milestone method of revenue recognition provided certain criteria are met. Amounts due from the OEM customers for development services are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense because the performance of contract development services is not central to the Company's operations. For the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, the Company recorded $7,269, $6,879 and $3,686, respectively, of development service revenue as a reduction of research and development expense based upon the achievement of a milestone.
o)Product Warranties and Product Repair Costs
The Company generally warranties its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. The Company provides warranties for all of its products ranging from 90 days to the lifetime of the product. Warranty expenses are accrued at the time of sale based on the Company's estimated cost to repair expected product returns for warranty matters. This liability is based primarily on historical experiences of actual warranty claims as well as current information on repair costs and contract terms with certain manufacturers. The warranty liability of $8,317 and $11,033 is recorded in Accrued Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively. In addition, the Company records a reserve for product repair costs which is based upon the quantities of defective inventory on hand and an estimate of the cost to repair such defective inventory. The reserve for product repair costs of $1,695 and $1,445 is recorded as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively. Warranty claims and product repair costs expense for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 were $7,948, $10,048 and $13,009, respectively.
In Fiscal 2013, Subaru of America recalled certain vehicles as a result of potentially faulty remote start devices for which Voxx was the distributor. At February 28, 2015, the Company has a receivable balance of $1,118 from one of the Company's suppliers, who has agreed to replace 100% of these devices.
Changes in the Company's accrued product warranties and product repair costs are as follows:
	Year				Year				Year
	Ended				Ended				Ended
	February 28,				February 28,				February 28,
	2015				2014				2013
Beginning balance	$	12,478			$	14,551			$	8,795

Ending balance	$	10,012			$	12,478			$	14,551
p)Foreign Currency
Assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries and former equity investees located outside the United States whose cash flows are primarily in local currencies have been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period or historical exchange rates, as appropriate in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters" ("ASC 830"). Revenues and expenses have been translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange in effect during the period.  Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded in the cumulative foreign currency translation account in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). For the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, the Company recorded foreign currency transaction (losses)/gains in the amount of $(6,504), $(1,079) and $445, respectively.
The Company has certain operations in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability, and has been troubled with various foreign currency and price controls. The country has experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors may have a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa.
Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, Venezuela was designated as a hyper-inflationary economy.  A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3 year period.  The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars.  The Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 and continues to account for its Venezuela operations under this method.
In February 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of the Bolivar Fuerte, moving the official exchange rate from 4.3 to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. dollar. The devaluation resulted in a one time net gain of approximately $2,400 in Fiscal 2013, a portion of which was related to the elimination of the country's regulated foreign currency exchange system at the time, SITME, and recognized by the Company within Cost of Sales and Other Income (Expense). Concurrent with this action, the Venezuelan government established a new auction-based exchange rate market program, referred to as Complementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (“SICAD”). The amount of transactions that have run through the SICAD and restrictions around participation have limited our access to any foreign exchange rate other than the official rate to pay for imported goods and manage our local monetary asset balances. Although the official exchange rate remained at 6.3 during Fiscal 2014, the government announced in January 2014 that the exchange rate for goods and services deemed non-essential would move to the rate available on the expanded SICAD currency market, which was 11.7 at February 28, 2014 (referred to as SICAD 1). In March 2014, a new exchange control mechanism was opened by the government, referred to as SICAD 2, which was not restricted by auction and was deemed available for all types of transactions. The use of the SICAD 1 rate was dependent upon the availability of auctions, and was not indicative of a free market exchange, as only designated industries could bid into individual auctions and the highest bids were not always recognized by the Venezuelan government. The Company, therefore, used the SICAD 2 rate for its Venezuelan subsidiary for the quarters ended May 31, 2014, August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2014, which was approximately 50 Bolivar Fuerte/$1 at each respective quarter end, with the exception of the Company's investment in Venezuelan government issued sovereign bonds (See Note 1(f)). In February 2015, the Venezuelan government introduced another new currency system, referred to as the Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI rate. This market-based exchange system consists of a mechanism from which both businesses and individuals are allowed to purchase and sell foreign currency at the price set by the market. In conjunction with this introduction, SICAD 2 was annulled and combined with the former SICAD 1, reverting to its original title of SICAD, exclusively applicable to non-essential goods and subject to available auctions. The SICAD rate at February 28, 2015 was 12 Bolivar Fuerte/$1 and the official exchange rate remained at 6.3 Bolivar Fuerte/$1, to be used for preferential goods only. The SIMADI rate at February 28, 2015 was approximately 177 Bolivar Fuerte/$1 and has been used by the Company for its Venezuelan subsidiary at February 28, 2015, except for the government bonds. A net currency exchange loss of $(7,104) was recorded for the year ended February 28, 2015, which includes the remeasurement loss on the Company's Venezuelan bonds of $(7,396), as described in Note 1(f), and is included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The Company holds certain long-lived assets in Venezuela, which include a warehouse the subsidiary has used for its automotive operations, which are currently suspended, as well as other rental properties. All of these properties are held for investment purposes as of February 28, 2015. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015, the Company made an assessment of the recoverability of these properties in Venezuela as a result of the country's continued economic deterioration, which includes the introduction of the SIMADI rate in February 2015 and the simultaneous merger of the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 rates, as discussed above. In testing the recoverability of its investment properties, the Company considered the undiscounted cash flows expected to be received from these properties, the length of time the properties have been held, the volatile market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, and the intent and ability to retain its investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and concluded that the future undiscounted cash flows did not recover the net book value for the long-lived assets. Based on these results, the Company further obtained independent third party appraisals for each of the properties to determine their fair values. The Company has concluded, as a result of all analyses performed, that these properties were impaired as of February 28, 2015 and has recorded an impairment charge of $(9,304), which is included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The remaining value of the Company's properties held for investment purposes in Venezuela is $3,794 as of February 28, 2015.
Our automotive business in Venezuela and our ability to obtain U.S. dollars are impacted by the continued economic instability, increasing inflation and currency restrictions imposed by the government. The Company continues to monitor this situation closely and will continue to evaluate its local properties. Further devaluations or regulatory actions could further impair the carrying value of these properties.
q)Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all positive and negative evidence including the results of recent operations, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled (see Note 7). The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to uncertain tax positions.  The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements.
Tax interest and penalties
The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of Income Tax Expense (Benefit) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
r)Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
There are no reconciling items which impact the numerator of basic and diluted net income per common share.  A reconciliation between the denominator of basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:
	Year			Year			Year
	Ended			Ended			Ended
	February 28, 2015			February 28, 2014			February 28, 2013
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (basic)	24,330,361			24,109,270			23,415,570
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options, warrants and restricted stock	—			—			201,531
Weighted-average number of common and potential common shares outstanding (diluted)	24,330,361			24,109,270			23,617,101
Stock options and stock warrants totaling 412,236, 137,899 and 90,735 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively, were not included in the net income per common share calculation because the exercise price of these options and warrants was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock during the period.
s)Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) is comprised of the following:
	Year				Year				Year
	Ended				Ended				Ended
	February 28, 2015				February 28, 2014				February 28, 2013
(Loss) on foreign currency contracts related to Hirschmann acquisition	$	—			$	—			$	(2,670	)
Net settlement gains (losses) (see Note 14)	—				4,443				(1,661		)
Foreign currency gain (loss) (excluding Venezuela)	599				(1,256		)		922
Interest income	376				689				685
Rental income	1,045				1,519				1,120
Miscellaneous	(525		)		6,472				(552		)
Total other, net	$	1,495			$	11,867			$	(2,156	)
Miscellaneous for the year ended February 28, 2014 includes income of $4,370 related to an unanticipated settlement payment that a customer made to Hirschmann subsequent to the expiration of a contract.
t)Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair market value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Refer to Note 1(p) for the discussion of the impairment of long-lived assets held in Venezuela for the year ended February 28, 2015. Refer to Note 1(k) for the discussion of the ASC360 impairment analysis and results for the year ended February 28, 2014.
u)Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted incentive stock options ("ISO's") and non-qualified stock options ("NQSO's") to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Under the plan, the exercise price of the ISO's will not be less than the market value of the Company's Class A common stock or greater than 110% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the NQSO's may not be less than 50% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The plan permits for options to be exercised at various intervals as determined by the Board of Directors. However, the maximum expiration period is ten years from date of grant. The vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.  Exercised options are issued from authorized Class A common stock.  As of February 28, 2015, approximately 1,437,000 shares were available for future grants under the terms of these plans.
Options are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with vesting terms are amortized using the straight-line attribution method.
The Company granted 125,000 options in October 2014, which vest on October 16, 2015, expire two years from date of vesting (October 16, 2017), have an exercise price equal to $7.76, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company’s stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 3.0 years and a grant date fair value of $2.78 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes valuation model. These options are included in the outstanding options and warrants table below and are not yet exercisable at February 28, 2015.
In addition, the Company issued 15,000 warrants in October 2014 to purchase the Company’s common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants are included in the outstanding options and warrants table below and are not yet exercisable at February 28, 2015.
The Company granted 256,250 options during December of 2012, which vested on July 1, 2013, expire two years from date of vesting (June 30, 2015), have an exercise price equal to $6.79, $0.25 above the sales price of the Company's stock on the day prior to the date of grant, have a contractual term of 2.5 years and a grant date fair value of $1.99 per share, determined on a Black-Scholes valuation model (refer to the tables below for assumptions used to determine fair value).
In addition, the Company issued 17,500 warrants during December of 2012 to purchase the Company's common stock with the same terms as those of the options above as consideration for future legal and professional services. These warrants have all been exercised as of February 28, 2015.
The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended  February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2013 were $2.78 and $1.99 on the respective dates of grant. There were no stock options granted during the year ended February 28, 2014.
The fair value of stock options and warrants on the date of grant, and the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option valuation model granted during the year was as follows:
		Year			Year
		Ended			Ended
		February 28,			28-Feb-13
		2015
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Volatility		56	%		51.3	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.8	%		0.32	%
Expected life (years)		3			2.5
The expected dividend yield is based on historical and projected dividend yields.  The Company estimates expected volatility based primarily on historical price changes of the Company’s stock equal to the expected life of the option. The Company uses monthly stock prices as the Company’s stock experiences low-volume trading. We believe that daily fluctuations are distortive to the volatility and as such will continue to use monthly inputs in the future. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected option term is the number of years the Company estimates the options will be outstanding prior to exercise based on employment termination behavior.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense (before deferred income tax benefits) for awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans in the following line items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss):
	Year				Year				Year
	Ended				Ended				Ended
	February 28, 2015				February 28, 2014				February 28, 2013
Cost of sales	$	9			$	10			$	5
Selling expense	39				50				25
General and administrative expenses	111				300				149
Engineering and technical support	3				3				3
Stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefits	$	162			$	363			$	182
Net income was impacted by $102 (after tax), $228 (after tax) and $113 (after tax) in stock based compensation expense or $0.00, $0.01 and $0.00 per diluted share for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.

The aggregate pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s average closing stock price for the last quarter of Fiscal 2015 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on February 28, 2015 was $1,899.  This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock.  The total intrinsic values of options exercised for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 were $26, $4,671 and $1,845, respectively
A restricted stock award is an award of common stock that is subject to certain restrictions during a specified period. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Shares under restricted stock grants are not issued to the grantees before they vest. The grantees cannot transfer the rights to receive shares before the restricted shares vest.
In May of 2011, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted stock. These restricted stock awards vested one-third on February 29, 2012, one-third on February 28, 2013 and one-third on February 28, 2014. The Company expensed the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the period during which the restrictions lapsed. The fair market value of the restricted stock of $7.60 was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
During Fiscal 2014, the Company established the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") (refer to Note 10(b)) and concurrently granted 84,588 shares of restricted stock. The restricted stock was granted based on certain performance criteria and vest on the later of three years from the date of participation in the SERP, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years. There are no market conditions inherent in the award, only an employee performance requirement, and the service requirement that the respective employee continues employment with the Company through the vesting date. The Company will expense the cost of the restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each employee or a maximum of 12.75 years. The fair market value of the restricted stock of $13.62 per share was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. In December 2014, the Company granted an additional 118,058 shares of restricted stock to employees participating in the SERP, with a fair market value of $7.77 per share.
The following table presents a summary of the Company's restricted stock activity for the year ended February 28, 2015:

w)New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The amendments in ASU 2013-11 provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company adopted these amendments in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 and there has not been a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of this change.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements comprehensive information about the nature, amounts, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company's contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Retrospective or modified retrospective application of the accounting standard is required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASC 2015-02, "Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." This standard modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. For public companies, this update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet concluded whether it will adopt ASU 2015-03 prior to the effective date.

	Hirschmann
	On March 14, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), Voxx, through its wholly-owned subsidiary VOXX International (Germany) GmbH ("Voxx Germany"), purchased the stock of Car Communication Holding GmbH, a recognized tier-1 supplier of communications and infotainment solutions, primarily to the automotive industry, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement for €87,571 ($114,397 based upon the rate of exchange as of the close of business on the Closing Date) subject to an adjustment for working capital plus related transaction fees and expenses. The acquisition of Hirschmann further diversifies Voxx's offerings and creates strategic opportunities for the Company to leverage Hirschmann's advanced technologies. The Company believes this will lead to more advanced and creative mobile electronic products and continued growth with car manufacturers worldwide.
	On the Closing Date, the Company, certain of its directly and indirectly wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and Voxx Germany (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as Agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Company borrowed approximately $148,000 under the Credit Agreement on the Closing Date and used a portion of the proceeds from such borrowing to fund Voxx Germany's acquisition of Hirschmann. On the Closing Date, the Company also repaid and terminated its existing asset-based loan facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC.
	In order to hedge the fluctuation in the exchange rate before closing, the Company entered into two forward contracts totaling $63,750, both due in Fiscal 2013. The forward contracts were not designated for hedging, and as such, were marked to market at February 29, 2012 and when they were settled in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013. A foreign currency loss of $2,670 was recorded in Fiscal 2013 when the contracts were settled, reflecting the loss on settlement.
	Net sales attributable to Hirschmann in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 were approximately $174,256, $173,612 and $153,310, respectively.
	During the measurement period, the Company recorded $10,701 of net deferred tax liabilities related to the basis difference between the financial reporting value and the tax value, and the adjustments to the intangible assets value in connection with our preliminary purchase price valuation.
	The amounts assigned to goodwill and intangible assets for the acquisition are as follows:
		March 14, 2012 (as initially reported)				Measurement Period Adjustments			March 14, 2012 (as adjusted)		Amortization Period (Years)
	Goodwill (non-deductible)	$	70,864			$	(10,253	)	$	60,611	N/A

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, Management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. We consider the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted.
During Fiscal 2015, the Company increased its valuation allowance by approximately $1,113 primarily related to an increase related to the Venezuelan impairment and foreign country deferred tax assets that are not realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions and with respect to its foreign tax credits and various investments which are more likely than not to generate capital losses in the future. Any decline in the valuation allowance could have a favorable impact on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made.
As of February 28, 2015, the Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes of approximately $14,583 on its foreign subsidiaries, cumulative undistributed earnings in Germany as such earnings are indefinitely reinvested overseas. If these future earnings are repatriated to the United States, or if the Company determines that such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions may be required. Due to the complexities of the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income tax provisions that may be required. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in undistributed earnings is not practicable to determine at this time.
The Company has U.S. federal net operating losses of $13,539, which expire in fiscal 2035 if not utilized. The Company has foreign tax credits of $1,117 which expire in tax year 2025. The Company has various foreign net operating loss carryforwards, state net operating loss carryforwards, and state tax credits that expire in various years and amounts through tax year 2035.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:
Balance at February 29, 2012	$	2,912
Additions in connection with acquisitions	—
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years	8,744
Settlements	—
Lapse in statute of limitations	(25		)
Recognition of excess tax benefits	(168		)

Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years	4,210
Additions in connection with acquisitions	—
Settlements	(29		)
Lapse in statute of limitations	(77		)
Recognition of excess tax benefits	(1,002		)
Balance at February 28, 2014	$	14,565
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years	7,538
Settlements	(142		)
Decreases based on tax positions taken in prior years	(6,562		)
Other	(824		)
Balance at February 28, 2015	$	14,575
Of the amounts reflected in the table above at February 28, 2015, $9,028, if recognized, would reduce our effective tax rate. The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The balance as of February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014 was $626 and $791, respectively. We do not expect the unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next 12 months.
The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files its tax returns in the U.S. and certain state and foreign income tax jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations.  The earliest years' tax returns filed by the Company that are still subject to examination by the tax authorities in the major jurisdictions are as follows:

	In August 2003, the Company entered into a call/put option agreement with certain employees of Voxx Germany, whereby these employees could acquire up to a maximum of 20% of the Company's stated share capital in Voxx Germany at a call price equal to the same proportion of the actual price paid by the Company for Voxx Germany. The agreement was amended in April 2014, fixing the put price at €3,000 and the call price at €0, with the put subject only to downward adjustments for losses incurred by Voxx Germany, beginning in Fiscal 2015. The put options become immediately exercisable upon (i) the sale of Voxx Germany or (ii) the termination of employment or death of the employee. Beginning in Fiscal 2015 and for each fiscal year thereafter, the employees will also receive a dividend equal to 20% of Voxx Germany's net after tax profits. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on 20% of the after tax net profits of Voxx Germany, subject to certain tax treatment adjustments as defined in the agreement, representing the annual dividend. The balance of the call/put option included in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014 was $3,765 and $5,156, respectively, and is included within employee compensation in the table above. Compensation expense for these options amounted to $451, $580 and $534 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
	Also included in Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at February 28, 2015 is an accrual for restructuring charges of $1,134. These charges represent termination benefits related to a headcount reduction announced by the Company in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015. The accrued benefits are included within employee compensation in the table above. There were no restructuring charges accrued at February 28, 2014.
	Other Long-Term Liabilities
	Included in other long-term liabilities are the non-current portions of a pension liability for an employer defined pension plan covering certain eligible Hirschmann employees (see Note 10(g)), as well as a retirement incentive accrual for certain Hirschmann employees.

Other Stock and Retirement Plans [Abstract]
Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]	Other Stock and Retirement Plans
	a)Restricted Stock Plan
	The Company has restricted stock plans under which key employees and directors may be awarded restricted stock. Awards under the restricted stock plan may be performance-accelerated shares or performance-restricted shares. (See Note 1(u)).
	As of February 28, 2015, approximately 1,437,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the Company's Restricted and Stock Option Plans.
	b)Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
	During Fiscal 2014, the Company established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") to provide additional retirement income to its Chairman and select executive officers. Subject to certain performance criteria, service requirements and age restrictions, employees who participate in the SERP will receive restricted stock awards. The restricted stock awards vest on the later of three years from the date of participation in the SERP, or the grantee reaching the age of 65 years (refer to Note 1(u)).
	c)Profit Sharing Plans
	The Company has established two non-contributory employee profit sharing plans for the benefit of its eligible employees in the United States and Canada. The plans are administered by trustees appointed by the Company. No contributions were made during the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013. Contributions required by law to be made for eligible employees in Canada were not material for all periods presented.
	d)401(k) Plans
	The VOXX International 401(k) plan is for all eligible domestic employees. The Company matches a portion of the participant's contributions after three months of service under a predetermined formula based on the participant's contribution level. Shares of the Company's Common Stock are not an investment option in the Savings Plan and the Company does not use such shares to match participants' contributions. During the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, the Company contributed, net of forfeitures, $629, $215 and $157 to the 401(k) Plan.
	e)Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan
	During Fiscal 2009, the Board of Directors authorized a Cash Bonus Profit Sharing Plan that allows the Company to make profit sharing contributions for the benefit of eligible employees, for any fiscal year based on a pre-determined formula on the Company's pre-tax profits. The size of the contribution is dependent upon the performance of the Company. A participant’s share of the contribution is determined pursuant to the participant’s eligible wages for the fiscal year as a percentage of total eligible wages for all participants. During the year ended February 28, 2011, this plan was temporarily suspended and the Company elected to pay back previous temporary salary reductions to all employees, in lieu of contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan. The plan has remained suspended for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 and will be reinstated only after all other suspended benefits of the Company have been restored.
	f)Deferred Compensation Plan
	Effective December 1, 1999, the Company adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Vice Presidents and above. The Plan is intended to provide certain executives with supplemental retirement benefits as well as to permit the deferral of more of their compensation than they are permitted to defer under the Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plans. The Plan provides for a matching contribution equal to 25% of the employee deferrals up to $20. On February 1, 2008, the Company temporarily suspended all matching contributions to contain operating expenses until economic conditions improve. The matching contributions have remained suspended for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013. The Plan is not intended to be a qualified plan under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. All compensation deferred under the Plan is held by the Company in an investment trust which is considered an asset of the Company.  The Company has the option of amending or terminating the Plan at any time.
	The investments, which amounted to $4,523 and $4,244 at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively, have been classified as long-term marketable securities and are included in investment securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and a corresponding liability is recorded with $250 recorded in accrued expenses and the balance in deferred compensation which is classified as a long-term liability. Unrealized gains and losses on the marketable securities and corresponding deferred compensation liability net to zero in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	g)Defined Benefit Pension Plan
	The Company sponsors an employer financed defined benefit pension plan ("the plan") at its Hirschmann subsidiary, which covers eligible regular full-time employees. The plan provides for retirement and disability benefits for participating employees, and are only granted if the participating employee is at least 25 years of age and has completed ten years of service. The retirement age as it pertains to the plan is 65. Benefits available under the plan are generally determined by years of service and the levels of compensation during those years. In October 1994, the benefits under this plan were closed to new participants and pension benefits continue to accrue only for previously existing plan members still employed by Hirschmann. The discount rate used for the valuation of the pension obligation at February 28, 2015 and 2014 was 1.65% and 3.3%, respectively. No contributions were made to the plan during the years ended February 28, 2015, 2014 or 2013, and the plan has no assets. The unfunded balance of the plan at February 28, 2015 and 2014 is equal to the total plan liability of $8,072 and $7,846, respectively.
	Following is the reconciliation of the pension benefit obligation for the years ended February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014.

Lease Obligations [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]
		Lease Obligations
	During 1996, the Company entered into a 30-year capital lease for a building with its principal shareholder and current chairman, which was the headquarters of the discontinued Cellular operation. Payments on the capital lease were based upon the construction costs of the building and the then-current interest rates. The effective interest rate on the capital lease obligation was 8% and the lease expiration date was November 30, 2026.  The Company has most recently been subleasing the building to Reliance Communications LLC for monthly payments of $60 for a term of three years. In December 2014, Myra Properties LLC, an affiliate of Reliance Communications LLC, purchased the building from Voxx's principal shareholder, causing the lease between Voxx and the shareholder to be terminated. As a result of the transaction, the Company realized a gain of $846, net of tax and net of a termination penalty of $573 paid to the shareholder at the termination date. The gain is recorded in Paid in Capital on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 28, 2015. Total rental income earned from the sublease of this building for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 was $462, $634 and $573, respectively. We also lease another facility from our principal shareholder which expires on November 30, 2016.
	The Company leases a facility from its principal shareholder. At February 28, 2015, minimum annual rental payments on this related party operating lease are as follows:
	2016	$	828
	2017	635
	Total	$	1,463
	Total lease payments required under all related party leases for the five-year period ending February 28, 2019 are $1,463.
	At February 28, 2015, the Company was obligated under non-cancellable capital and operating leases for equipment and warehouse facilities for minimum annual rental payments as follows:
			Operating
			Leases
	2016		$	7,593

	Thereafter		375
	Total minimum lease payments		$	12,568
	Rental expense for the above-mentioned operating lease agreements and other leases on a month-to-month basis was $5,648, $5,474 and $5,531 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
	The Company has three capital leases with a total lease liability of $777 at February 28, 2015. These leases have maturities through Fiscal 2018.

Financial Instruments Disclosure [Text Block]	Financial Instruments
	a)Off-Balance Sheet Risk
	Commercial letters of credit are issued by the Company during the ordinary course of business through major domestic banks as requested by certain suppliers. The Company also issues standby letters of credit principally to secure certain bank obligations and insurance policies. The Company had $0 open commercial letters of credit at February 28, 2015 and 2014. Standby letters of credit amounted to $827and $717 at February 28, 2015 and 2014.  The terms of these letters of credit are all less than one year. No material loss is anticipated due to nonperformance by the counter parties to these agreements. The fair value of the standby letters of credit is estimated to be the same as the contract values based on the short-term nature of the fee arrangements with the issuing banks.
	At February 28, 2015, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations for inventory commitments of $92,647.  These obligations are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements until commitments are fulfilled and such obligations are subject to change based on negotiations with manufacturers.
	b)Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. The Company's customers are located principally in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific and consist of, among others, distributors, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and independent retailers.  The Company generally grants credit based upon analyses of customers' financial conditions and previously established buying and payment patterns. For certain customers, the Company establishes collateral rights in accounts receivable and inventory and obtains personal guarantees from certain customers based upon management's credit evaluation. Certain customers in Europe and Latin America have credit insurance equaling their credit limits.
	At February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, one customer accounted for approximately 5% and 18% of accounts receivable, respectively.  No one customer account for more than 10% of net sales during the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 or February 28, 2013. The Company's five largest customers represented 31% of net sales during the year ended February 28, 2015, 29% for the year ended February 28, 2014 and 28% for the year ended February 28, 2013.
	A portion of the Company's customer base may be susceptible to downturns in the retail economy, particularly in the consumer electronics industry. Additionally, customers specializing in certain automotive sound, security and accessory products may be impacted by fluctuations in automotive sales.

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	Financial and Product Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
	Segment
	The Company operates in three distinct segments based upon our products and our internal organizational structure. The three operating segments, which are also the Company's reportable segments, are Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories.
	Our Automotive segment designs, manufactures, distributes and markets rear-seat entertainment devices, satellite radio products, automotive security, remote start systems, digital TV tuners, mobile antennas, mobile multimedia devices, aftermarket/OE-styled radios, car link-smartphone telematics application, collision avoidance systems and location-based services.
	Our Premium Audio segment designs, manufactures, distributes and markets home theater systems, high-end loudspeakers, outdoor speakers, iPod/computer speakers, business music systems, cinema speakers, flat panel speakers, Bluetooth speakers, soundbars, headphones and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible devices.
	Our Consumer Accessories segment designs and markets remote controls; rechargeable battery packs; wireless and Bluetooth speakers; personal sound amplifiers and iPod docks/iPod sound, A/V connectivity, portable/home charging, reception and digital consumer products.
	Each operating segment is individually reviewed and evaluated by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who allocates resources and assesses performance of each segment individually. Prior to December 1, 2012 our CODM reviewed financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
	The Company's Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the CODM. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon a number of factors, the primary profit measure being income before income taxes of each segment. Certain costs and royalty income are not allocated to the segments and are reported as Corporate/Eliminations. Costs not allocated to the segments include professional fees, public relations costs, acquisition costs and costs associated with executive and corporate management departments including salaries, benefits, depreciation, rent and insurance.
	The segments share many common resources, infrastructures and assets in the normal course of business. Thus, the Company does not report assets or capital expenditures by segment to the CODM.
	The accounting principles applied at the consolidated financial statement level are generally the same as those applied at the operating segment level and there are no material intersegment sales. The segments are allocated interest expense, based upon a pre-determined formula, which utilizes a percentage of each operating segment's intercompany balance, which is offset in corporate/eliminations.
	Prior period disclosure of net sales by product category has been reclassified to conform to the new operating segment structure which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. Segment data for each of the Company's segments are presented below:

Contingencies [Abstract]
Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Contingencies
	The Company is currently, and has in the past, been a party to various routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of business.  If management determines, based on the underlying facts and circumstances, that it is probable a loss will result from a litigation contingency and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued for.  The Company believes its outstanding litigation matters disclosed below will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, individually or in the aggregate; however, due to the uncertain outcome of these matters, the Company disclosed specific matters as outlined below:
	The products the Company sells are continually changing as a result of improved technology.  As a result, although the Company and its suppliers attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement by patent, trademark or other intellectual property owners.  Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, or require the Company to either enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to the Company, or pay material amounts of damages.
	The Company was a plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against several defendants relating to the alleged price fixing of certain thin film transistor liquid crystal display flat panels and certain products containing these panels purchased between the years 1999 and 2006, and the violation of U.S. antitrust laws. This class action suit was decided in favor of the plaintiffs and in July 2013, the judge in the case ordered the distribution of the settlement funds that had been ordered to be put aside by the defendants. Voxx received a sum of $5,643 during Fiscal 2014, which is recorded in "Other Income (Expense)" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	The Company was party to a breach of license agreement lawsuit brought against it by MPEG LA, LLC ("MPEG"). During Fiscal 2013, the Company reached an agreement with MPEG, recording a charge of $9,475 during the fiscal year within "Other (Expense) Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company sought indemnification from its suppliers for royalty payments previously paid to them that it maintains they were responsible to remit to MPEG and vigorously pursued its option under its indemnification agreements. The Company successfully negotiated with certain vendors, recording total recoveries of $6,799 as an offset to the settlement expense in "Other (Expense)Income" on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the year ended February 28, 2013. For the years ended February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, no additional recoveries have been recorded related to this lawsuit and the Company is not aware of any additional vendors that it may recover funds from related to this matter.
	Securities and Derivative Proceedings:
	On July 8, 2014, a purported class action suit, styled Brian Ford vs. VOXX International Corporation, et al., was filed against us and two of our present executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The suit alleges that defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements between May 15, 2013 and May 14, 2014 regarding our earnings guidance for Fiscal 2014 and the anticipated future performance of our business. The plaintiff claims that these statements artificially inflated the price of our stock and that purchasers of our stock during the relevant period were damaged when the stock price later declined. The plaintiff seeks the award of unspecified amount of damages on behalf of the alleged class, counsel fees and costs. We believe we have meritorious legal positions and defenses and will continue to represent our interests vigorously in this matter.  On September 8, 2014, three members of the alleged class moved to be appointed the lead plaintiff in the action.  To date, the Court has not entered an order appointing a lead plaintiff.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation, Reclassifications and Accounting Principles
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VOXX International Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company acquired Car Communication Holding GmbH ("Hirschmann") on March 14, 2012. The consolidated financial statements presented for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 include the operations of Hirschmann beginning March 14, 2012.
	Equity investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method.  The Company's share of its equity method investees' earnings or losses is included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company eliminates its pro rata share of gross profit on sales to its equity method investees for inventory on hand at the investee at the end of the year. Investments in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.
	Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
	The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.  Such estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation, recoverability of deferred tax assets, reserve for uncertain tax positions, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation, valuation and impairment assessment of investment securities, goodwill, trademarks and other intangible assets, valuation of pension plan assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and highly liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives
	The Company applies the authoritative guidance on "Fair Value Measurements," which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. This guidance establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
	Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.
	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using the Company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivative Instruments
	The Company's derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts utilized to hedge a portion of its foreign currency inventory purchases, local operating expenses, as well as its general economic exposure to foreign currency fluctuations created in the normal course of business. During Fiscal 2014, the Company also entered into three interest rate swap agreements, two of which hedge interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding borrowings on a portion of its credit facility ("Credit Facility") (see Note 6), and the third hedges interest rate exposure related to the forecasted outstanding balance of one of its mortgage notes, with monthly payments due through May 2023. The two swap agreements related to the Credit Facility lock the Company's LIBOR rates at 0.515% and 0.518% (exclusive of credit spread) for the respective agreements through the swaps' maturities on February 28, 2017 and April 29, 2016, respectively. The notional amounts of these two swaps were $30,000 and $25,000 at February 28, 2015. The swap agreement related to the Company's mortgage locks the interest rate on the debt at 3.92% (inclusive of credit spread) through the end of the mortgage. The notional amount of this swap was $6,500 at February 28, 2015. The forward foreign currency derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges and valued using observable forward rates for the same or similar instruments (Level 2).
Marketable Securities, Trading Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Trading Securities
	The Company’s trading securities consist of mutual funds, which are held in connection with the Company’s deferred compensation plan (see Note 10). Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liability.
Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Available-For-Sale Securities
	The Company’s available-for-sale marketable securities include a less than 20% equity ownership in CLST Holdings, Inc. ("Cellstar") and Bliss-tel Public Company Limited ("Bliss-tel").
	Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect (if applicable), on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis and reported in Other Income (Expense).
	A decline in the market value of any held to maturity or available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.  The Company considers numerous factors, on a case-by-case basis, in evaluating whether the decline in market value of an available-for-sale security below cost is other-than-temporary. Such factors include, but are not limited to, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; (ii) the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer of the investment; and (iii) whether the Company's intent to retain the investment for the period of time is sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time of passage of title and risk of loss to the customer either at FOB shipping point or FOB destination, based upon terms established with the customer. The Company's selling price to its customers is a fixed amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment or contingent upon additional rebates.  Any customer acceptance provisions, which are related to product testing, are satisfied prior to revenue recognition. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition except for product returns from the Company's customers. The Company does accept product returns, if properly requested, authorized, and approved by the Company. The Company records an estimate of product returns by its customers and records the provision for the estimated amount of such future returns at point of sale, based on historical experience and any notification the Company receives of pending returns.
	The Company includes all costs incurred for shipping and handling as cost of sales and all amounts billed to customers as revenue
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivable
	The majority of the Company's accounts receivable are due from companies in the retail, mass merchant and OEM industries. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contracted payment terms are considered past due.
	Accounts receivable is comprised of the following:
		February 28,		February 28,
		2015		2014
	Trade accounts receivable and other	$	110,447	$	155,132
	Less:
	Allowance for doubtful accounts	6,491		6,889
	Allowance for cash discounts	1,190		1,189
		$	102,766	$	147,054
	The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers' current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventory
	The Company values its inventory at the lower of the actual cost to purchase (primarily on a weighted moving-average basis with a portion valued at standard cost, which approximates actual costs on the first-in, first-out basis) and/or the current estimated market value of the inventory. Market value of inventory does not exceed the net realizable value of the inventory and is not less than the net realizable value of such inventory, less an allowance for a normal profit margin. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on selling prices, indications from customers based upon current price negotiations and purchase orders.  The Company's industry is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on-hand.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property under a capital lease is stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Major improvements and replacements that extend service lives of the assets are capitalized. Minor replacements, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	A summary of property, plant and equipment, net, is as follows:
		February 28,		February 28,
		2015		2014
	Land	$	8,761	$	6,652
	Buildings	37,078		44,378
	Property under capital lease	1,557		8,473
	Furniture and fixtures	5,066		4,951
	Machinery and equipment	31,052		30,512
	Construction-in-progress	1,845		1,856
	Computer hardware and software	36,550		33,738
	Automobiles	1,459		1,236
	Leasehold improvements	7,192		10,505
		130,560		142,301
	Less accumulated depreciation and amortization	60,777		59,079
		$	69,783	$	83,222
	Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
	Buildings		20-30 years
	Furniture and fixtures		5-10 years
	Machinery and equipment		5-10 years
	Computer hardware and software		3-5 years
	Automobiles		3 years
	Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over the term of the respective lease. Accumulated amortization of assets under capital lease totaled $817 and $4,475 at February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During December 2014, the Company terminated one of its capital leases, which had been leased from a related party (See Note 11).
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess over the fair value of assets acquired (goodwill), and other intangible assets (patents, contracts, trademarks/tradenames and customer relationships).  Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805 "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805") and ASC 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350").
	Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the value of their underlying net assets. Generally, the primary valuation method used to determine the fair value ("FV") of acquired businesses is the Discounted Future Cash Flow Method ("DCF").  A five-year period is analyzed using a risk adjusted discount rate.
	The value of potential intangible assets separate from goodwill are independently evaluated and assigned to the respective categories.  The largest categories from recently acquired businesses are Trademarks and Customer Relationships. The FV’s of trademarks acquired are determined using the Relief from Royalty Method based on projected sales of the trademarked products.  The FV’s of customer relationships are determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method which includes a DCF analysis, adjusted for a required return on tangible and intangible assets. The Company categorizes this fair value determination as Level 3 (unobservable) in the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1(e). The guidance in ASC 350, including management’s business intent for its use; ongoing market demand for products relevant to the category and their ability to generate future cash flows; legal, regulatory or contractual provisions on its use or subsequent renewal, as applicable; and the cost to maintain or renew the rights to the assets, are considered in determining the useful life of all intangible assets.  If the Company determines that there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors which limit the useful life of the asset, an indefinite life will be assigned and evaluated for impairment as indicated below.  Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized.  Intangible assets that have a definite useful life are amortized over their estimated useful life.
	ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.  Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment exist. To determine the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, there are many assumptions and estimates used that directly impact the results of the testing. Management has the ability to influence the outcome and ultimate results based on the assumptions and estimates chosen. If a significant change in these assumptions and/or estimates occurs, the Company could experience impairment charges, in addition to those noted below, in future periods.
	Goodwill is tested using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, primarily trademarks, the Company compared the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying amount. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The cost of other intangible assets with definite lives is amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives.
	Voxx's reporting units that carry goodwill are Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch. The Company has three operating segments based upon its products and internal organizational structure (see Note 13). These operating segments are the Automotive, Premium Audio and Consumer Accessories segments. The Hirschmann and Invision reporting units are located within the Automotive segment and the Klipsch reporting unit is located within the Premium Audio segment. The discount rate (developed using a weighted average cost of capital analysis) used in the goodwill test ranged from 13.3% to 13.7% for the February 28, 2015 testing date. Based on the Company's goodwill impairment assessment, all reporting units with goodwill had estimated fair values as of February 28, 2015 that exceeded their carrying values. The goodwill balances of Hirschmann, Invision and Klipsch at February 28, 2015 are $51,968, $7,373 and $46,533, respectively.
	For the year ended February 28, 2014, upon completion of the annual Step 1 assessment, the estimated fair value of the Klipsch reporting unit did not exceed its carrying amount, including goodwill. As a result, the second phase of the goodwill impairment test ("Step 2") was performed specific to Klipsch. Under Step 2, the fair value of all Klipsch's assets and liabilities were estimated, including tangible and intangible assets. The implied fair value of the goodwill as a residual was then compared to the recorded goodwill to determine the amount of impairment. As a result of this analysis, an impairment charge of $32,163 was recorded for goodwill for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Premium Audio segment.
	To estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, we utilized a Relief-from-Royalty Method, applying royalty rates of 0.8% to 7.5% for the relative trademarks and domain name after reviewing comparable market rates, the profitability of the products associated with relative intangible assets, and other qualitative factors. We determined that risk-adjusted discount rates ranging from 13% to 14.4% were appropriate as a result of weighted average cost of capital analyses. As a result of this analysis, it was determined the Company's indefinite lived trademarks were not impaired at February 28, 2015. Impairment losses of $21,715 were recorded related to indefinite lived intangible assets during the year ended February 28, 2014. As a result of the impairment recorded in Fiscal 2014, indicators of impairment existed which required the Company to evaluate the related long-lived assets at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. As a result of this further analysis, no additional impairments of the long-lived assets were recorded other than the abandonment noted below as of February 28, 2014.
	The Fiscal 2014 impairment charges were the result of various indicators that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Specifically, certain of our consumer electronic and premium audio product lines experienced significantly lower than expected performance. In addition, indications of near-term shortfalls for certain products within these lines were apparent. Taking these factors into account, along with long-term industry forecasts, the Company had re-evaluated its projections. Further, some of the weighted-average cost of capital rates increased in Fiscal 2014 as a result of higher stock volatility of market participants, as compared to overall market returns. All of these factors led to the Fiscal 2014 impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles.
	During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2014, the Company made a business decision to abandon its Technuity business and restructure the marketing and use of the Company's domain name. These decisions resulted in an impairment of the related definite and indefinite lived intangible assets, as well as the long-lived assets in accordance with ASC360 "Property, Plant and Equipment" ("ASC 360"). As a result, an impairment charge of $3,683 was recorded related to both definite and indefinite lived tradenames, customer relationships and long-lived fixed assets.

	The Company offers sales incentives to its customers in the form of (1) co-operative advertising allowances; (2) market development funds; (3) volume incentive rebates and (4) other trade allowances.  The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with ASC 605-50 "Customer Payments and Incentives" ("ASC 605-50").  Except for other trade allowances, all sales incentives require the customer to purchase the Company's products during a specified period of time. All sales incentives require customers to claim the sales incentive within a certain time period (referred to as the "claim period") and claims are settled either by the customer claiming a deduction against an outstanding account receivable or by the customer requesting a cash payout.  All costs associated with sales incentives are classified as a reduction of net sales. The following is a summary of the various sales incentive programs:
	Co-operative advertising allowances are offered to customers as reimbursement towards their costs for print or media advertising in which the Company’s product is featured on its own or in conjunction with other companies' products.  The amount offered is either a fixed amount or is based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
	Market development funds are offered to customers in connection with new product launches or entrance into new markets.  The amount offered for new product launches is based upon a fixed amount, or percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer during a specified time period.
	Volume incentive rebates offered to customers require minimum quantities of product to be purchased during a specified period of time. The amount offered is either based upon a fixed percentage of sales revenue to the customer or a fixed amount per unit sold to the customer. The Company makes an estimate of the ultimate amount of the rebate their customers will earn based upon past history with the customers and other facts and circumstances. The Company has the ability to estimate these volume incentive rebates, as the period of time for a particular rebate to be claimed is relatively short.  Any changes in the estimated amount of volume incentive rebates are recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The Company accrues the cost of co-operative advertising allowances, volume incentive rebates and market development funds at the latter of when the customer purchases our products or when the sales incentive is offered to the customer.
	Other trade allowances are additional sales incentives the Company provides to customers subsequent to the related revenue being recognized. The Company records the provision for these additional sales incentives at the latter of when the sales incentive is offered or when the related revenue is recognized. Such additional sales incentives are based upon a fixed percentage of the selling price to the customer, a fixed amount per unit, or a lump-sum amount.
	The accrual balance for sales incentives at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014 was $14,097 and $17,401, respectively.  Although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customers and the lack of claims made by customers, could have a significant impact on the sales incentives liability and reported operating results.
	For the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, reversals of previously established sales incentive liabilities amounted to $1,302, $1,990 and $3,350, respectively. These reversals include unearned and unclaimed sales incentives. Reversals of unearned sales incentives are volume incentive rebates where the customer did not purchase the required minimum quantities of product during the specified time. Volume incentive rebates are reversed into income in the period when the customer did not reach the required minimum purchases of product during the specified time. Unearned sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 amounted to $1,294, $1,935 and $2,933, respectively.  Unclaimed sales incentives are sales incentives earned by the customer, but the customer has not claimed payment from the Company within the claim period (period after program has ended). Unclaimed sales incentives for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 amounted to $8, $55 and $417, respectively.
	The Company reverses earned but unclaimed sales incentives based upon the expiration of the claim period of each program.  Unclaimed sales incentives that have no specified claim period are reversed in the quarter following one year from the end of the program. The Company believes the reversal of earned but unclaimed sales incentives upon the expiration of the claim period is a systematic, rational, consistent and conservative method of reversing unclaimed sales incentives.
Advertising Cost, Policy, Expensed Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]	Advertising
	Excluding co-operative advertising, the Company expensed the cost of advertising, as incurred, of $10,722, $12,097 and $9,499 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Research and Development
	Expenditures for research and development are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenditures amounted to $20,777, $21,267 and $15,890 for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, respectively, net of customer reimbursement, and are included within Engineering and Technical Support expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Product Warranties and Product Repair Costs
	The Company generally warranties its products against certain manufacturing and other defects. The Company provides warranties for all of its products ranging from 90 days to the lifetime of the product. Warranty expenses are accrued at the time of sale based on the Company's estimated cost to repair expected product returns for warranty matters. This liability is based primarily on historical experiences of actual warranty claims as well as current information on repair costs and contract terms with certain manufacturers. The warranty liability of $8,317 and $11,033 is recorded in Accrued Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively. In addition, the Company records a reserve for product repair costs which is based upon the quantities of defective inventory on hand and an estimate of the cost to repair such defective inventory. The reserve for product repair costs of $1,695 and $1,445 is recorded as a reduction to inventory in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014, respectively. Warranty claims and product repair costs expense for the years ended February 28, 2015, February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 were $7,948, $10,048 and $13,009, respectively.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency
	Assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries and former equity investees located outside the United States whose cash flows are primarily in local currencies have been translated at rates of exchange at the end of the period or historical exchange rates, as appropriate in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters" ("ASC 830"). Revenues and expenses have been translated at the weighted-average rates of exchange in effect during the period.  Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded in the cumulative foreign currency translation account in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all positive and negative evidence including the results of recent operations, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled (see Note 7). The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to uncertain tax positions.  The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements.
	Tax interest and penalties
	The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of Income Tax Expense (Benefit) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Income Tax Uncertainties, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Uncertain Tax Positions
	The Company adopted guidance included in ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740") as it relates to uncertain tax positions.  The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Net Income Per Common Share
	Basic net income per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
	Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair market value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted incentive stock options ("ISO's") and non-qualified stock options ("NQSO's") to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Under the plan, the exercise price of the ISO's will not be less than the market value of the Company's Class A common stock or greater than 110% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the NQSO's may not be less than 50% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The plan permits for options to be exercised at various intervals as determined by the Board of Directors. However, the maximum expiration period is ten years from date of grant. The vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.  Exercised options are issued from authorized Class A common stock.  As of February 28, 2015, approximately 1,437,000 shares were available for future grants under the terms of these plans.
	Options are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with vesting terms are amortized using the straight-line attribution method.

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which employees and non-employee directors may be granted incentive stock options ("ISO's") and non-qualified stock options ("NQSO's") to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Under the plan, the exercise price of the ISO's will not be less than the market value of the Company's Class A common stock or greater than 110% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of the NQSO's may not be less than 50% of the market value of the Company's Class A common stock on the date of grant. The plan permits for options to be exercised at various intervals as determined by the Board of Directors. However, the maximum expiration period is ten years from date of grant. The vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant.  Exercised options are issued from authorized Class A common stock.  As of February 28, 2015, approximately 1,437,000 shares were available for future grants under the terms of these plans.
	Options are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant and are recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards with vesting terms are amortized using the straight-line attribution method.
Schedule of Employee Service Share-based Compensation, Allocation of Recognized Period Costs [Table Text Block]	The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense (before deferred income tax benefits) for awards granted under the Company’s stock option plans in the following line items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Domestic Bank ObligationsThe Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with an aggregate availability of $200,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $25,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $10,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans. The Credit Facility is due on January 9, 2019, however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.00 - 2.00% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00 - 1.00% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of FebruaryB 28, 2015, the interest rate on the facility was 2.38%.The Credit Facility requires compliance with financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio.The Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any change of control; (vii) make any restricted payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items. As of FebruaryB 28, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.The Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by valid and perfected first priority security interests in liens on all of the following: (a)(i) 100% of the capital stock or other membership or partnership equity ownership of profit interests of each domestic Credit Party (other than the Company), and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of any Credit Party (or such greater percentage as would not result in material adverse federal income tax consequences for the Company); (b) all of (i) the tangible and intangible personal property/assets of the Credit Parties and (ii) the fee-owned real property of the Company located in Hauppauge, New York; and (c) all products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing.As of FebruaryB 28, 2015, approximately $67,700 was outstanding under the line. Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and its predecessor revolving credit facility during the years ended FebruaryB 28, 2015, FebruaryB 28, 2014 and FebruaryB 28, 2013 totaled $297, $151 and $94, respectively, and are included within Interest and Bank Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company incurred debt financing costs totaling approximately $8,200 as a result of entering into and amending the Credit Facility during Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014, which are recorded as deferred financing costs. The Company accounted for the amendments as a modification of debt and added these costs to the remaining financing costs related to the original Credit Facility. These deferred financing costs are included in other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the five year term of the Credit Facility. During the years ended FebruaryB 28, 2015, FebruaryB 28, 2014 and FebruaryB 28, 2013, the Company amortized $1,117, $1,377 and $1,210 of these costs, respectively.

[2]

Euro Asset-Based Lending ObligationForeign bank obligations include a financing arrangement totaling 20,000 Euros and consisting of a Euro accounts receivable factoring arrangement (see Note 1(h)) and a Euro Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") (up to 60% of eligible non-factored accounts receivable) credit facility for the Company's subsidiary, Voxx Germany, which expires on October 31, 2016. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 1.6% (1.99% at FebruaryB 28, 2015). As of FebruaryB 28, 2015, the amount of non-factored accounts receivable exceeded the amounts outstanding under this obligation.

[3]

Hirschmann Line of CreditIn December, 2014, Hirschmann entered into an agreement for a €8,000 working capital line of credit with a financial institution. The line of credit is payable on demand and is mutually cancelable. The rate of interest is the three month Euribor plus 2% (2.39% at FebruaryB 28, 2015). Hirschmann and Voxx Germany are joint and severally liable for the line of credit balance, which is also guaranteed by VOXX International Corporation. There was no outstanding balance on the line of credit as of FebruaryB 28, 2015 and FebruaryB 28, 2014.

[4]

Klipsch NotesIncluded in this balance is a mortgage on a facility included in the assets acquired in connection with the Klipsch acquisition on March 1, 2011 and assumed by Voxx. The balance at FebruaryB 28, 2015 is $421 and will be fully paid by the end of Fiscal 2018.During Fiscal 2013, the Company purchased the building housing Klipsch's headquarters in Indianapolis, IN.

Domestic Bank ObligationsThe Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with an aggregate availability of $200,000, consisting of a revolving credit facility of $200,000, with a $30,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility sublimit, a $25,000 sublimit for Letters of Credit and a $10,000 sublimit for Swingline Loans. The Credit Facility is due on January 9, 2019, however, it is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, except that Swingline Loans may only be designated as Alternate Base Rate Loans. VOXX International (Germany) GmbH may only borrow euros, and only as LIBOR rate loans. Loans designated as LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBOR rate plus a range of 1.00 - 2.00% based upon leverage, as defined in the agreement. Loans designated as Alternate Base Rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00 - 1.00% based on excess availability in the borrowing base. As of FebruaryB 28, 2015, the interest rate on the facility was 2.38%.The Credit Facility requires compliance with financial covenants calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter consisting of a Total Leverage Ratio and a Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio.The Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of certain entities of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) merge, consolidate or exit a substantial portion of their respective businesses; (iv) make any material change in the nature of their business; (v) prepay or otherwise acquire indebtedness; (vi) cause any change of control; (vii) make any restricted payments; (viii) change their fiscal year or method of accounting; (ix) make advances, loans or investments; (x) enter into or permit any transaction with an affiliate of certain entities of the Company; or (xi) use proceeds for certain items. As of FebruaryB 28, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.The Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by valid and perfected first priority security interests in liens on all of the following: (a)(i) 100% of the capital stock or other membership or partnership equity ownership of profit interests of each domestic Credit Party (other than the Company), and (ii) 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of all present and future first-tier foreign subsidiaries of any Credit Party (or such greater percentage as would not result in material adverse federal income tax consequences for the Company); (b) all of (i) the tangible and intangible personal property/assets of the Credit Parties and (ii) the fee-owned real property of the Company located in Hauppauge, New York; and (c) all products, profits, rents and proceeds of the foregoing.As of FebruaryB 28, 2015, approximately $67,700 was outstanding under the line. Charges incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and its predecessor revolving credit facility during the years ended FebruaryB 28, 2015, FebruaryB 28, 2014 and FebruaryB 28, 2013 totaled $297, $151 and $94, respectively, and are included within Interest and Bank Charges on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company incurred debt financing costs totaling approximately $8,200 as a result of entering into and amending the Credit Facility during Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014, which are recorded as deferred financing costs. The Company accounted for the amendments as a modification of debt and added these costs to the remaining financing costs related to the original Credit Facility. These deferred financing costs are included in other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized through Interest and Bank Charges in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the five year term of the Credit Facility. During the years ended FebruaryB 28, 2015, FebruaryB 28, 2014 and FebruaryB 28, 2013, the Company amortized $1,117, $1,377 and $1,210 of these costs, respectively.
