Audio History: New Section and New Content

2024/09/032024/09/03Secretary

We have added a new sub-section to the Audio History section of this website.

As well as documenting the achievements of the well known luminaries of the local audio industry (Audio Legends), we are now also acknowledging some lesser-known practitioners who have contributed significantly to the industry. We are grouping these in a section called Quiet Achievers, which you can access here.

The first story to be added to this section is that of local loudspeaker designer Michail Barabasz (Lorantz Audio).
Check it out here.
