for Surround
Foreword
Simply stated: I had a blast working on the StudioComm for Surround components! It is
very rewarding to develop a set of products for a market that’s actually receptive to new
ideas and supportive of innovation.
A big thanks to Jeff Levison, formerly of Warner Hollywood Studios. He patiently answered
our questions over a period of many months, helping to guide us in the right direction. I
recently read an interesting book on the history of the Warner Brothers and their movie
empire. One of the things that stood out was their long-term commitment to audio. From
the Jazz Singer to the current DVD releases, they haven’t been afraid of staying on the
forefront of sound for picture. Good going guys!
Mitch Budniak designed much of the hardware and kept us out of “digital trouble.” Carrie
Loving provided engineering support and designed the product graphics. Larry Leviton
wrote the excellent software that makes the hardware “come to life.” Fred Roeck per-
formed the mechanical design. Al “PCB PRO” Lux designed the...you guessed it! Joe
Urbanczyk coordinated the safety testing and created the automated test routes for our
Audio Precision System Ones.
Our plans are to continue with other StudioComm for Surround components. Your praise,
comments, or complaints are encouraged, helping to keep us going in the right direction.

Sincerely,
Gordon K. Kapes
