Stephen is one of our Senior Acoustic Engineers, and he has been with Dynaudio for little under a year, but he already has many exciting and important projects under his belt – including our new Personal Reference Monitor, LYD.
I sat down with Stephen to have a conversation about his work at Dynaudio and to get his tips on monitor placement and how to set up a home studio.

>> Hi Stephen, thanks for taking time out of your schedule to talk to me – and all of us. So, tell me about yourself. How long have you been in the loudspeaker business?
No problem, it’s my pleasure. Well, I have been in the business since I started doing PA work at the age of 8, if we’re talking professionally, it since 2008. But, it has always been an interest of mine. I can’t play an instrument for the life of me, but I can run a mixing board, no problem.
>> What are your main tasks here at Dynaudio?
I look at both the product’s software and hardware and try to pull it all together to deliver the product’s sonic performance. I provide input on driver design; I oversee crossover typologies and technologies - whether it is in the digital or analog domain -; and I look at how it interacts with the design of the cabinet: stitching it all together trying to deliver the best sound performance possible.
