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. Getting
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 satisfied. 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 fine people worked toward making the StudioComm “happen.” Mitch Budniak (ace
consulting engineer) designed many of the circuits. Jim Cunningham contributed to the
analog design. Carrie Loving provided engineering support. Al Lux designed the printed
circuit boards. Fred Roeck performed the mechanical design. Joe Urbanczyk coordinated
the performance testing.
Many thanks to Bob Tjarks, sales manager at Gand Music & Sound, Northfield, 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 field and studio experience was extremely helpful in
keeping me on the audio “straight and narrow.”
Studio Technologies is receptive to your comments and questions. Please contact me via

Sincerely,
Gordon K. Kapes
