Peterson Goodwyn began building his own audio gear in 2008 for one simple reason: he couldn’t afford to buy it. In 2011 he founded DIY Recording Equipment with the vision of making excellent audio equipment affordable and accessible to anyone who was willing to pick up a soldering iron. Since then, DIYRE has enabled thousands of musicians and engineers to build their own equipment, through hundreds of DIY tutorials, designs, and blog posts.

Wolfgang Klippel studied electrical engineering at the University of Technology in Dresden, in the former East Germany, where his initial studies focused on speech recognition. Afterwards, he joined a loudspeaker company in the eastern part of Germany where he was engaged in transducer modelling, acoustic measurement and psychoacoustics. He later returned to his studies and received a Ph.D in Technical Acoustics in 1987.
After spending a post-doctoral year at the Audio Research Group in Waterloo, Canada and working at Harman/JBL in Northridge, CA, he returned to Dresden in 1997 and founded Klippel GmbH, a company that develops novel control and measurement systems dedicated to loudspeakers and other transducers.
Dr. Klippel has also been engaged as Professor of Electro-acoustics at the University of Technology in Dresden since 2007. His papers and tutorials on loudspeaker modeling and measurement – particulary those on large signal behaviour and physical distortion mechanisms – are considered reference works in the field.

Forward Thinking Audio Gear from Crane Song and Dave Hill Designs. Crane Song Ltd. is about designing and building the highest quality audio hardware and software possible. The products include A/D and D/A converters, Equalizers, Preamps, Compressors, Monitor Controllers, and plug-ins for PT. The designs range from discrete class A electronics to dsp.
The Philosophy is to make musically sounding gear and plug-ins that solve problems in the recording environment. The products very flexible, by changing a control the sound of the device can go from very clean to very colored while remaining musical. In 2011 Dave Hill Designs was lunched to provide products that are digitally controlled analog, DHD follows the same philosophy of building the highest quality musical signal processing devices possible. Some designs for other companies include Avid’s HEAT plug-in, ATR Service Company’s variable speed control and the ARIA discrete record - play tape machine electronics. In addition there is on-going design work for several other companies, both the US and the UK. New designs for both Crane Song and Dave Hill Designs are always being worked on. Plus research into clocking, jitter and digital control of analog audio.

EveAnna Manley grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and was definitely one of those stereotypical Band Geeks playing clarinet, saxophones, and a little but of trumpet. At Columbia University she continued her music studies which steered her into the music industry. Inspired by her father who had once owned Ampeg in the late 1960's, she found a job starting at the bottom-most rung on the ladder learning to solder and assemble vacuum tube amplifiers in Southern California. She quickly got into the technical side of things testing and assisting new designs into production as well as implementing important business control systems in the young company such as quality control procedures, inventory control, and purchasing systems, all analog in the early 1990's! After David Manley retired to France in the mid-1990's, EveAnna took over the Manley company doubling its turnover in the first year. Her first solo designs were the enduring Manley VOXBOX and the intriguing Manley STINGRAY stereo integrated power amplifier. She has led a loyal team of engineers and production staff at Manley Labs for over 25 years to continue to produce one of the world's premier brands of high end vacuum tube equipment for recording and mastering studios as well as audiophiles around the globe.
