An industry veteran of over 50 years, Mike designed products, and consulted for JBL, QSC, Yamaha, Vue Audiotechnik, and others. As the head designer at Audio Composite Engineering, a division of Sound Image, Mike was awarded several patents pertaining to composite loudspeakers and horn technologies. For more than 4 decades, he was the head loudspeaker designer at Sound Image and finished out his career in 2018 when he retired and relocated to Prescott, Arizona. Michael was a visionary that helped to shape Sound Image as well as the industry throughout his career, and he will be sorely missed by his family, friends, and colleagues.
