My name is Lonnie Bedell, and unlike big companies with their marketing teams & slick ads, I've been doing actual live sound work for years, and live recording before that. Insane requests, non-technical clients & Last Minute Everything! So I created a line of products to help me, and maybe you too. If you like what you see, please help other engineers out by passing the word in pro audio forums l

In the beginning...
I built my first mixing board for my band when I was 15 years old with parts from Radio Shack & a local electronics store called "You do it" Electronics. I found a program at a local studio when I was 16 and was hooked. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 1987, I started Goin' Mobile, doing live Gospel recordings for clients all over, but mostly in the NYC market. Gospel is an excellent training ground for problem solving ability, with lots of last minute "oh by the way" changes, and venues with poor equipment/power. For the last 18 years I've done Corporate Audio work off and on for clients in the Boston area. Lots of Mackie 1202/1402s, speakers on sticks, graphic EQs & wireless lav mics. Occasional jobs doing Boom Sound work, audio in a video truck, FOH band work, etc. Boston isn't exactly Metropolis, so You take it all! For the last 8 years I've been selling used electronics purchased at auction on ebay as well, tapping into my audio signal flow skills & macgyver skills to repair lots of different things. I currently have over 3900+ positive feedback on ebay, so I must be doing something right! As you can imagine this doesn't leave much free time, but I enjoy hiking in the NH White Mountains & skydiving when I get a chance. What a long, strange trip it's been...
