Happy New Year 2024 to you all! Also, we are kicking off round one of my interview series with one of the most prominent audio and electronics designers, Arian Jansen and his own brand, SonoruS Audio.
Unlike most people in high-end audio, Arian is an actual electronics and psycho acoustic engineer. To him, it's all about the applied science of audio engineering and how we perceive sound and music.
Credited with many, many patents, this first episode highlights Arian's introduction to engineering with his work for the Dutch defense industry and applied physics lab at the ripe age of 18.
Enjoy the show!
