Foreword
I am pleased to present the StudioComm series of products. As both president and owner
of Studio Technologies, I take a very personal approach when designing products. Get-
ting older has increased my appreciation of the more subtle things in life—be they a part of
nature or the nuances contained in a well-designed piece of electronic equipment. Do the
technical and operational aspects of a product work together to “feel” right? A Studio Tech-
nologies’ design is ready to go only when I am completely satisfi ed. My entire focus for the
StudioComm series was to make a system that you’d really enjoy using, and one that would
perform reliably for years. I hope you share my enthusiasm.
Many fi ne people worked toward making the StudioComm “happen.” Mitch Budniak (ace
consulting engineer) designed many of the circuits. Jim Cunningham contributed to the
analog design. Larry Leviton wrote the excellent micro-controller software. Al Lux designed
the printed circuit boards. Carrie Loving designed the graphics. Fred Roeck performed the
mechanical design. Joe Urbanczyk coordinated the safety testing and agency approvals.
Many thanks to Bob Tjarks, professional audio sales manager at Gand Music & Sound,
Northfi eld, Illinois. Bob brought to my attention the need for a product to serve digital audio
workstations. His product idea evolved into the StudioComm series. Additional thanks to
Timothy Powell of Metro Mobile Recording, Glenview, Illinois, who provided his excellent
ears when issues of sonic quality arose. His extensive fi eld and studio experience was ex-
tremely helpful in keeping me on the audio “straight and narrow.”
